There is NO TIME TO WASTE When a Burn Occurs
You must be prepared to handle burns with immediacy. That means that you must be equipped with the proper tools to treat the burns. The supplies must be immediately accessible. No trips to the doctor or the pharmacy.
Time is tissue when it comes to burns and there is nothing worse than a bad burn while you are hiking or days away from civilization. You must be able to cool the tissues rapidly, moisturize the area, and protect it from abrasion and contact.
PracticeSurvival.com's Top Pick is one that Will has successfully utilized for years. The Burn Wraps exploit evaporative cooling science in order to provide long lasting, simple to apply, and effective cooling of burns for hours up to a day.
They are easy to apply, can be cut to size, are light weight, and reasonably priced.
We recommend that you pick up some today for your kits. They are not available on the consumer market.
