Feeling outgunned here ;) my medical kit comprises of gloves, loperamide and tea towels. Thankfully noone in the house is on prescription meds otherwise we'd have them too.

I'm wondering that too - I can't see anything at the lidl website about it.

As for what I keep already - lots of otc stuff, lots of bandages of various sorts, lots of dressings. No haemostatic stuff yet - I've seen so many discussions about which type/influences etc, and I need some proper research before I spend any dosh.

I have 2 x 24 litre plastic crates of stuff, which seems a lot to me :shock: but probably isn't with all the gearheads on here :mrgreen:
Arzosah I use the app and it goes further out than website. 23.09.18 is when stuff comes out

Stock up on sterile gauze pads... You can improvise bandages but clean pads to put onto a wound need to be good........

You can soon go through a pack of 25 changing a dressing 2x a day

If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine

Bit of a cliche but keep your eye on ebay and amazon mate. There are some good offers from time to time, same for most things.

Fair do's, whatever works. I stopped using ebay several years ago because my account got hacked and some random lassie got ripped off. Nothing to do with me but it put me off. Started using it 3 or 4 years ago though and its a different experience, probably due to Amazon, even when some 'small change' stuff from China doesn't arrive they don't quibble and I've never been out of pocket.

Definitely worth shopping around though.
