Adventure Medical Kits Ultralight & Watertight Medical Kit.3 — waterproof coverage for a solo hiker

A first aid kit supplements emergency care, it does not replace it. ANSI/ISEA Z308.1 sets minimum fills for workplace kits; anything beyond minor injury - and any chemical splash hazard to the eye - needs professional medical attention, and 29 CFR 1910.151 requires that medical help be genuinely available, not merely listed on a poster.

If you're a solo hiker or paddler who wants a genuinely waterproof case, the Ultralight & Watertight Medical Kit.3 is the lightest, lowest-fill entry into AMK's waterproof sub-line at. This page covers specs, how it compares to the AMK.5, and what to add for remote solo trips.

Compatibility: what to add to this kit

Solo travel means no one else to share supplies with — add a North American Rescue Flat ETD 6-Inch Emergency Trauma Dressing and a McKesson Instant Cold Pack for remote solo trips.

What this kit is not: this kit is strictly one person — for a partner who sometimes joins, order the AMK Ultralight/Watertight.5 instead.

Shop the trauma kits collection for additional bleeding-control supplies on remote solo trips.

Comparison: AMK.3 vs AMK.5

• Consider the.3 if you are always the solo hiker and want the lightest waterproof AMK kit.
• Consider the AMK.5 if a partner sometimes joins — it's only about more and covers 1-2 people.
