I took this on a small fishing boat trip since it was an inner bag which featured a leakproof, waterproof and airtight seal. My small fishing boat took on water and I was swimming for land. Fortunately the lightweight outer bag survived.
Upon opening it, many items were out of date or just didn’t work, like the band-aids, medical tape and oinkment. This Kit is also not fireproof as I found out when I fell asleep by my campfire and it caught fire.

This, and the .9 (for multi-day hikes) are the only kits I carry now; I leave a larger kit in the vehicle. I haven’t found a more useful and lightweight kit out there. Nothing but the essentials, with room for a few personal meds.
I think this and the .9 are the best buys for the money — the .7 isn’t enough more or less.
If you are serious about weight, and confident in your abilities to manage a situation with a “limited” amount of gear, this is the kit for you.

I received my .5 kit today, which I bought for solo backpacking. It’s even smaller and lighter than I expected. Quality seems good. I’m quite pleased.
The earliest expiration date on any of the medications is May 2011, about 14 months away. I’m not a doctor or anything, but those meds are probably OK to use for 2 or 3 years.
They no longer use Aloksak bags; the bag is labeled “Dry Flex.”
There is a fair amount of room in the ripstop bag for other gear. I had no problem fitting an AMK Pocket Survival Pak inside. The waterproof bag is already pretty full, however.

Great size, good contents, everything you’d need in a little first aid kit. I’d add in extra bandaids and a tube of antibotic gel from my medicine cabinet, but other than that, very complete.

The .5 kit is great. It seems legitimately water tight (haven’t had a chance to test that) and it’s the perfect size for my bail out bag. I may make some additions to things in there. Other buyers have reported expired medications I received none of that. I assume they improved on providing unexpired medication. I will be making some of my own personal additions to this small medical kit. Hopefully it will never have to be used. :)
