Frequently Asked Questions
Is this kit suitable for outdoor event first aid cover?
Yes. The rucksack format is designed for event first aiders who need to move through crowds, across fields, or between stages. The hands-free backpack design leaves both hands available for treatment, and the enhanced contents including cold pack and burn gel address the injury types common at outdoor events.
How does the rucksack kit differ from the haversack kit?
The rucksack is a full backpack with 21 enhanced items including eye wash, burn gel, cold pack, and scissors. The standard haversack is a shoulder bag with 15 standard BS 8599-1 items. The rucksack provides greater capacity, enhanced contents, and more comfortable carry over extended periods.
