Hey everybody first post for me. I was wondering where everybody gets their survival supplies or first aid stuff? I prefer to get from the internet. Thanks!

For a basic first aid kit with the essentials, I bought mine at Walmart. by the time you get everything individually your saving a lot of money buying a kit. Then you can add some of the things you think you'll need. I added two ace bandages and a couple of military style large wound bandages. For survival gear that is dependent upon where your hunting as to what would be needed. My daypack normally has a 50' length of 500 lb test rope, 1-2 days of food, usually mre's and lots of energy bars like granola and the sort. My camelback holds enough water for 2-3 days, extra knives and sharpener. Oh and if I know I'm not going back to the truck during the day I'll bring my msr stove and coffee press. Makes for a full daypack but I can honestly say that I'd rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it.

Whenever we get ready for a hunting trip or camping or anything we have used http://www.readyrouteusa.com. we have found that they have very reasonable prices and our order almost always gets shipped the next day. anyway, just my .02 but i would recommend giving them a shot, we have never been disappointed.

Thanks TimberCreek, I will check those out next time I have the chance. Any pricing on that monster kit?!

Got the cabinet on Ebay for $15.00 + $12 shipping. All total probebly $115. I bought some expensive items because I am so far from medical facilities. Blood stop for gunshot wounds, good snake kit etc.

Thanks for the replies everybody. I ended going with a kit from readyrouteusa.com , (and a few things I wasn't planning on getting!). Its a pretty cool site if anybody hasn't checked it out yet. Better prices than what I'd pay in town here I suppose.
