My new trauma kit


Recommended Posts

I just had to Google this Cactus Kit. At $472NZD, this kit would cost around $330USD, Empty.. At it's size, color, and design.. It's not worth the cost, period. One could buy a sizable kit, with supplies, in a multitude of colors for around the same price in USD.

But the tablets come in round tubes or large bottles. Also comes in fruit flavored drinks called gluco shots, gum, spray, and dissolving strips I think.

Looks like butter.

they also come in "6 individually wrapped chewable tablets", like in the picture.
