RideWild Medical Kits - First Aid for Off Road and Enduro Riders

For those of us who love to ride adventure bikes deep into the forest (or desert, or mountains), there’s an unfortunate reality when it comes to bad crashes and injuries - once you call for help, it may not arrive for hours, or even days. Often, patching yourself up and riding (or hitching) a ride to the ER is the best option.

RideWild Medical makes first aid kits designed specifically for riders who have gotten hurt far from help. The contents are designed for the most common treatable injuries for riders - broken bones and life-threatening bleeding. The gear is professional-grade - much of the contents would be at home in a well-stocked search and rescue bag. And the packaging is waterproof and compact enough to throw in your tank bag or backpack.

The unique thing about RideWild Medical kits is their specific focus on off-road riding. There are some great first aid kits for the scrapes and blisters hikers sustain, or for the penetrating trauma that the military and law enforcement face. But most commonly, an injured rider has sustained blunt trauma that needs an entirely different type of treatment and gear - RideWild kits are designed from the ground up with this in mind.

Of course, all the gear in the world won’t help if you don’t know what to do with it. A Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course is an affordable weekend introduction to the type of the medicine you’re likely to need while out riding. And don’t forget to check our blog regularly for some essential advice on moto medicine.
