In New Zealand, the kit doesn't include ibuprofen tablets, antihistamine tablets, and antibiotic ointment, but these are recommended to complete the Ultralight.5 kit. The kit weighs only 110g, making it super light to carry around.
Using the AMK Ultralight and Waterproof First Aid Kit is easy. For minor cuts and scrapes, clean the wound with an antiseptic wipe. Then, choose an appropriate bandage from the kit, like the adhesive bandages or gauze dressings, to cover the wound. If you get a blister, use the pre - cut moleskin pieces to protect it. For splinters or ticks, use the forceps to remove them carefully. If you have an insect bite, use the after - bite sting relief wipes.
When using the kit, make sure to check the expiration dates of the wipes and other items regularly. Keep the kit in a cool, dry place to prevent the bandages from losing their stickiness and the wipes from drying out. If you use any items from the kit, replace them as soon as possible to ensure it's always ready for the next emergency. And if you're in New Zealand, consider adding ibuprofen tablets, antihistamine tablets, and antibiotic ointment to the kit for more comprehensive first - aid coverage.
