I wanted a small lightweight first aid kit I could take backpacking with me. My first aid skills are limited, just needed something for cuts, bee stings, sprains, blisters, headache or in most cases whole body ache after hiking all day. This fit that description weighing in at 3.8 ounces and has the basics to deal with all the aforementioned situations.Bought this in October of 2015 and the Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen and Antihistamine all had expiration dates of either 1/17 or 8/17, which is not a big deal to me because I can just add that stuff as needed. The bag is actually big enough that I was able to fit a pint-sized baggie in it with a roll of Rolaids and some Tylenol. Also added some band-aids, (can never seem to have too many band-aids) Have used the tweezers to remove a splinter and the safety pins (mine came with 3 safety pins) to repair a strap on my backpack. I won't go over everything that is included because it's listed in the product description. It's not waterproof or even water resistant but everything is put into 3 different baggies that take care of that.​All in all happy with the purchase. Is this good for a home first aid kit, probably not, but for hiking or backpacking, not sure you could put one together for less than the 10 bucks that I paid for it. Would definitely buy again and have recommended it to several friends that I backpack with.For the money, this isn't a bad little kit. I purchased it to keep handy in my daypack while I work and will go with me on day hikes.The contents aren't anything special; many of them are typical items found in common first aid cabinets, but there are some good adds like a small package of nitrile gloves, wood-stick swabs, a pair of tweezers, and a small roll of cloth tape (about 3/8" wide).The nylon pouch everything comes in is very thin, appearing to be about the same thickness as tenting material, and it does seem to have some water-resistant qualities, though the items in the kit are already in resealable plastic bags. There is a handy loop on the back for clipping to the outside of your backpack/daypack for quick access. There is also room for some extra supplies if you'd like to add them. I will put in a 'tick key' and perhaps a couple of other small items.For the price you pay for just Band-Aid strips and gauze alone, you get a few more items and a handy pouch. This is probably adequate enough for a short outing or for keeping in your car or office.This kit has the perfect contents, size, weight, and cost for an emergency "Get-Home-Bag." I was pleasantly surprised that the only two items I had to add were a disposable thermometer and packet of burn cream.As others have noted, the expiration date on the tag is early (only 18 months from now, in this case) but it's referring to the one item that expires that early (the 2 ibuprofen tablets). Everything else expires the following year. Even so, I'm not worried. (My understanding is that the efficacy of these drugs don't suddenly drop to zero on the expiration date, but rather gradually become less effective over a few years.)As you can see, the "First Aid Flyer" is just a folded up half-sheet of paper. It seems to cover all of the basics (at least by glancing at the section headings) -- except that it does not specifically address blisters (even though the kit comes with a piece of moleskin). I don't like that it doesn't cite a source for this material, but I assume it's trustworthy information for what it is.The contents arrive packed in three zipper baggies: one for the gloves, and everything else crammed into just two other bags. So, I reorganized them by adding 3 more small baggies that I had lying around (while I added the thermometer and the burn cream). Otherwise, the kit is good to go.I bought this cheap little first aid kit knowing I would have to upgrade it and customize it for my needs. First I replaced the cheap tweezers with better ones and added small scissors and nail clippers. I added more moleskin, bandages, gauze pads, and cotton swabs. I increased supplies of some meds it had (ibuprofen, antihistamine, acetaminophen, antibiotic ointment, hydrocortisone cream, sting ointment) and added a few more meds I sometimes need (sudafed, dramamine, diamode, burn ointment), and I added a tiny tub of vaseline. I kept the bandages, tape, gauze, and gloves that came with the kit because they all seemed up to snuff.Despite all my modifications I would still say this kit was exactly the one I should have bought. It came with a good basic supply of commonly needed items, and came in a nice little orange pouch that I very much like because 1) it is the perfect size, and 2) as I have assembled my "10 essentials" kit I have tried to make everything orange. :) Also, of all the things I added I had most of them at home already so I didn't have to spend a bunch of extra money customizing this, and looking at the stuff that comes in the larger kits I still would have had to make a lot of modifications to make them work for me.I Will give this 3 stars. I wish this pack included 2 sets of gloves instead of one, a triangle bandage and 3 more safety pins. I added a flat tick remover, triangle bandage, poison ivy skin cleanser, burn gel, Quikclot (in a small compact tube), and a few other medications for stomach issues (with room to spare!) and gave it as a gift to my brother for Christmas.As a health care professional trained in emergency medicine, I read the first aid guide attachment and was amazed at several inaccuracies in basic first aid treatment. I do NOT RECOMMEND people reference this when treating injuries. If the pamphlet was not so misleading, this product would have received 4 stars instead of 3 from me.Other than that, I am satisfied with the product and feel he has the basics needed to go hiking and fishing with his friends and be prepared should any get hurt while out in the woods. Excluding the minor medication additions as well as the triangle bandage, this first aid kit really DOES offer the essentials needed to travel for one low price and plan to get one for myself soon.
