Stocking Fillers

A pictogram printed along its length changes from a rectangle to a square at correct tension, which removes the guesswork from the one first aid technique most Australians have never practised. It was developed with snake safety experts SSSafe.

It is 2 metres by 10cm and weighs about 120 grams, and it doubles as a compression bandage for sprains and major wounds. It is recommended to carry two, which conveniently solves buying for two people.

CPR, CHEAPLY

The SURVIVAL Pocket CPR KIT and Mini CPR KIT both carry a resuscitation shield.

That one item removes the hesitation that stops bystanders starting CPR on a stranger, and it costs less than a bottle of wine. It is a strange stocking filler and a genuinely good one.

THINGS THAT GET USED IMMEDIATELY

The SURVIVAL Waterproof Dry Bag and the Waterproof Box both solve a problem everyone has and nobody has fixed. Phone, wallet and keys on a boat, at the beach, or in a kayak.

The SURVIVAL Wallet 2.0 clips to a keyring or lives in a handbag and handles the everyday cuts, which keeps the main KIT intact for when it counts.

FOR THE ONE WHO IS ALWAYS OUTDOORS

The SURVIVAL Splint, or the 46cm flat pack version, for anyone who walks, rides or tours. A fracture has to be stabilised before anyone is going anywhere, and it is not something you improvise well.

The SURVIVAL Compact First Aid KIT is the small kit that clips to a belt or a pack strap.

THE BOOK

The First Aid Emergency Handbook is the award-winning one, and it is the gift for someone who would rather know what to do than own more equipment.
