Preparedness: This rating gives the user an idea of what level of medical complication you'll be able to tackle. It ranges from + which addresses basic wound care and prevention, as well as minor medical upsets (by far the most commonly encountered issues) to +++++, which addresses advanced airway management, hemorrhage control, and fracture stabilization. For exact details of contents, please refer to each product's information page.

If you're looking for something specific, please contact us at info@cascadefirstaid.org to discuss customized packs.
