While we all recognize the usefulness and fun of ham radio, we also know that it comes with its share of dangers. Any pursuit that deals with electricity, sharp tools, hot soldering irons, operating in extreme heat or cold, and towering antennas (see our video series on safe climbing practices) will undoubtedly result in the need for medical attention from time to time.
This is a good thing to remember as Field Day 2022 (June 25-26) approaches and the weather makes it more inviting for outdoor operating. Having a well-stocked, well-marked, and well-protected first-aid kit is essential for portable ops, especially in harsh environments. You can make sure your vital bandages and medical creams are safe from the elements with a First Aid Logo NANUK Equipment Case. These red equipment cases come in various sizes and feature a prominent first aid logo in white, plus all the ruggedness and durability you’ve come to expect from strong, lightweight, and waterproof NANUK cases. In addition, they feature NANUK’s PowerClaw™ latching system, which makes sure the lid stays closed. Cases do not include foam insert. Choose from these options:
