Adventure Medical Kits from NRS
Designed by physician and paddler Eric Weiss, Adventure Medical Kits are a necessity on the river and a good item to carry in your car.
Medical supplies in user-friendly modules are grouped together in clear, resealable waterproof bags. Each see-through module allows you to quickly scan the contents and the inventory list included in the bag. All four kits come equipped with first aid instructions and the items listed in the accompanying chart.
