"...The WMS Grasshopper kit goes everywhere I go and the WMS Humbug II is my base camp medical center for my hunting trips to Alaska, Africa, and the lower 48, as well as all of my family camping trips."

All Wilderness Medical Systems Kits include:
High quality components, chosen by the doctor (Some items are difficult to find)....Well-organized, modular contents (the SECRET to a useful kit!)...The doctor's 84 page wilderness first aid instructions 'for the panicked lay person' printed on waterproof, tearproof paper...And tough, durable kit bags designed especially for us by Red Oxx for durability, ease of use and optimal access to contents.

 The range of WMS medical kits includes our largest expedition sized kit, the Kilimanjaro, through intermediate sizes such as the Absorkee,and the Humbug II, and includes the 1 or 2 person sized kits such as the Denali, the Grasshopper. All WMS kits can be customized for requirements beyond the usual by selecting various options such as Dental Emergency modules, disposable surgical staplers, or extra SAM Splints. All include Dr. Gil Preston's FLASHCARDS, a compact set of first aid instructions written with the highly stressed average user in mind, printed on waterproof, tearproof paper-like material.

If you are travelling to parts of the world where medical care is lacking or absent, the probability of making it to a decent medical facility within 12 hours overtakes all other criteria in kit selection. Potentially, you will have to deal with more kinds of medical emergencies and to treat them for a longer period of time -- until the emergency medical evacuation service can get you out of there. Even if it's for 1 person, you need to consider, at a minimum, the Humbug II.  The Absorkee and Kilimanjaro may also reasonable choices depending on your destination.
