Understanding everyday injuries and ailments in the field
The Everyday Layer of Field Medicine
Most field medical problems are not major trauma or catastrophic illness. They are minor cuts, burns, or symptoms like a headache from dehydration. Handled early and correctly, each one remains manageable instead of ending the trip. ALWAYS SEEK MEDICAL CARE IF YOU ARE ILL OR INJURED IN THE FIELD.
Why wound irrigation matters
The medical literature supports irrigating wounds with copious clean water; U.S. tap water, sterile saline, or properly filtered and purified field water.¹ A jet or stream of water helps flush debris. For minor wounds, infection rates after thorough irrigation are low and topical antibiotics have not been proven to demonstrate improved healing or reduce infection rate.²
Stop, and be cool
If you burn yourself with a campfire or hot suppressor, STOP. Remove the source of heat. Stop the burning process and cool the injury with clean, potable, room-temperature water. NEVER USE ICE. Cooling early limits how deep the injury progresses. Wash with soap and water if available, pat dry, and cover with a hydrogel or non-adherent dressing to keep the wound clean and ease pain. If you’re going to use topical antibiotics, THIS IS WHERE THEY PAY OFF, but you are ok without them as long as you get to definitive care. For more information, see our FIELD NOTES dispatch, Thermal Injuries in the Field.
Medication as a Field Capability
Familiar over-the-counter medications, staged before they are needed, turn pain, fever, an allergic reaction, or GI distress from a mission-ender into a managed problem. A drug facts insert keeps uses, dosing, and warnings on hand.

How to use the First Aid Field Pack
This pack contains professional-grade medical supplies to treat wounds, everyday ailments, and burns.
Assess the Situation
Decide what you are treating: a wound, a burn, or a symptom. For heavy bleeding, trouble breathing, or a large or deep burn, render the appropriate first aid and activate EMS (call 911) and move toward definitive care.
Clean and Irrigate
Wash or sanitize your hands. Clean wounds with purified water or reliable U.S. tap water, using a jet or stream of water to flush out dirt and debris.
Cover the Wound
Choose the appropriate dressing — film dressing, non-adherent pad, gauze, or bandage — secure it with the silk tape, and keep it clean and moist, but not wet.
Stop, Cool and Cover Burns
For thermal injuries, remove the heat source, cool the area with clean, room-temperature water, never ice. Wash with soap and water if available. Apply the Burnshield® hydrogel dressing or gel, then cover with a non-adherent or transparent dressing. Seek or enable rescue by definitive care.
Treat Symptoms and Reassess
Use the enclosed over-the-counter medications per their drug facts for pain, fever, allergies, or stomach trouble. Change dressings daily and move toward the next level of care as soon as possible.

Who the FAFP is for
The FIRST AID FIELD PACK is built for anyone who works, lives, or plays far from a hospital, pharmacy, or doctor. Literally anywhere humans go, Austere Medicine Consultants and AMC Medicine LTD let you take medical capability with you. That’s MEDICINE. ANYWHERE.
Why preparedness matters
Cuts, burns, and trail tummy don’t check your itinerary before they strike. In the minutes after they happen, the people already on scene make the difference — but only if the right supplies are within reach.
The FAFP stages a complete med kit built by doctors with the same hospital-grade wound care, familiar medications, and burn supplies THEY carry. Packaged in sealed, grab-and-go pouches. And vetted by AMC’s staff of Special Forces and Ranger Regiment medics. With AMC, your home, vehicle, or call-out kit is prepared with basic medical capability.

Why we created the FAFP
The team behind Austere Medicine Consultants and AMC Medicine LTD has spent years working in environments where the nearest hospital and doctor were hours, or even days, away. In some places, these didn’t exist at all. Current medical practice contributes to our ongoing refinement of everything we offer. This experience and strong shared values mean prioritizing the needs of you, our patients, and our customers.
AMC feels everyone should have access to real medical capability for the problems that actually happen — the cut, the burn, the fever on the road — while maximizing value. The FAFP pairs the MIFK, the OTCFK, and the TIFK so the everyday layer of field medicine is staged together: field medicine, built by doctors, for the kind of person who refuses to be a liability. The Professional Prepared Citizen; who shows up competent, prepared, and an asset to their community. That’s who we build for. If that’s you, you already belong here.
