First Aid Systainer

[sprior]

The conversation was over their website chat and as far as I understand they're going to add it as a purchase option on the page, so if it happens it should be easy to get without seeking a special arrangement.

I'm curious how much of a discount they'll give to exclude the pack - it looks decent so I'm hoping it'll be more than a couple of $$.  I see their "Recon" kit is available as supplies only for $35 off (nice!) - it's the last color option on the right, though that pack looks like over the top overkill for me.

Looks like they didn't get the website adjusted for today and the 40% offer expires tonight.  I went ahead and placed the order and then sent an email to their customer service discussing the chat and asking if they can adjust the order and refund the difference.
Either way my indecision over what to put in the kit is over.

For those watching this thread, I wanted to announce that we have preorders going on now for Batch 3 of the SYS-Aid.
I expect to get stock in late this month.  I'm waiting for a container from Tanos Germany.  I may get units inspected, assembled and ship yet this year, though it may be just into the new year.

Preorder Sys-Aid here..

The Batch 3 SYS-AIDs are in stock!  Pick on up here:  SYS-AID product page.

This morning I got all units put together and the inventory is now loaded in the system.

What a great morning it was in the warehouse!  I took inventory. I unpacked a new pallet of stock.  And I reorganized everything for expansion in 2020.  Need to make more room.

Thank you for a great 2019!

Here's another take on what fits in one of the first aid systainers from systainer.store. Thanks for a great product!

Hi [member=73124]odessaboots[/member]

Just a couple days ago I stocked out again.  I have more parts arriving, hopefully tomorrow, and then Monday I can assemble them and reenable the stock on the store.  Send an email to hello@systainers.store or fill out the notification form on product page at our web site.  I send out emails as soon as I enable more stock.

Just received my First Aid Systainer from Tim a couple weeks back - it looks great and I'll post a picture as soon as I receive the last few items I want to put in there. Reading through this thread, a few observations:

1. Amazon has been mentioned, as well as FSAs.. If anyone in the US hasn't already figured it out, your FSA/HSA card can be added to Amazon as a payment method, and you can easily find their FSA/HSA eligible products here.

2. Regarding tourniquets, 30 seconds could very well mean the difference between your ability to apply a tourniquet, or losing enough blood that you begin to lose cognitive and motor functions. If you take a look at photos of our troops in combat gear in places where they're being shot at, you'll almost always see a first aid kit in a zipped or velcro'd pouch on the person's vest or belt, and a tourniquet in an easy-to-access location like the strapped to the chest or shoulder pocket. It is always removed from its packaging, and it has always been adjusted and folded in such a way that it will easily fit over a leg or arm without much fuss. I would suggest that if you feel the need to keep a tourniquet in the shop or on the job site, it should be unwrapped and stored on your person (tool belt, apron, etc.). Or, in a shop environment, maybe one tourniquet is at the workbench, one is on the table saw fence, one is by the miter saw, etc. Here is a great resource written by someone more qualified than I am if you're interested in more information about tourniquets.

Okay, I'm waiting on a set of tweezers, but I usually use a Leatherman to pull splinters out unless I don't happen to notice them until later.

Everything packed away:

Contents include:
A bottle of eye wash with an eye cup
About two tins worth of Veritas Extra Long Adhesive Bandages, which are fantastic
A stack of regular cloth BandAids
Neosporin Neo-to-Go antiseptic/pain relief spray
Neosporin Antibiotic Ointment
Quik Clot Combat Gauze
Israeli/compression bandage
Compressed gauze
Trauma shears

My shop is about 20 feet from the back door of my house and woodworking is still a hobby for me, so my first aid philosophy is pretty basic. If I get a small cut or splinter, I don't want to lose valuable shop time by going to the house for a bandaid just to get re-tasked by any of the ladies in the house. Conversely if I manage to chop off a finger, it's time to stop that bleeding, get the finger wrapped in a towel, and ask my wife for some ice and a ride to the hospital. Anything more complicated, like a headache, allergies, or "I'm fine but please get the superglue, whiskey and butterfly bandages" and I'm probably done woodworking for the day anyways.

This is a CAT tourniquet, in an old version of the Blue Force Gear Tourniquet NOW! Strap, screwed to the dust shroud on my miter saw station. This is pretty close to my first aid kit pictured above, which itself is fairly centered in my little 11.5'x14.5' shop.

I hope everyone is having a great day!
