Rescue Swag
Rescue Swag is much more than “just a First Aid Kit”. . . from a humble beginning to its first big appearance on Shark Tank Australia Series I; the world’s first SMART first aid kit, Rescue Swag, was created in response to a need for portable, comprehensive safety response. Developed in rural Australia, Rescue Swag was born from the challenges of an active, outdoor lifestyle. Ranging from minor cuts and broken bones to snake bites and extreme weather, the Australian bush can be dangerous.
Rescue Swag was a natural solution to provide a portable, durable safety solution that delivers peace of mind and enhances the outdoor lifestyle.

Your Guide to the Ultimate First Aid Kit
A million and one things can go wrong on a hike, even if you’re just going out for the day. If you’re not prepared with a good first aid kit, the most minor injuries can become life-threatening. Even a blister can turn into cellulitis in no time.
But even if it’s not a life or death situation, any illness or injury on the trails will impact the enjoyment factor. When you pick up a parasite that makes you explode from both ends, clambering up boulders is way down on the list of fun things to do. Not that I’m speaking from experience at all…
Injuries can happen anytime in the wild. Call me a pessimist, but the best way to stop a mishap from becoming a catastrophe is to make sure you’re prepared for the worst. That means you should never go on a hike without a well-stocked first aid kit.
So, what should you pack? Based on my experience as a wilderness junkie, this is what you need to bring with you on any trek.
