Travel + Leisure / Kristin Kempa

In my early travel years, I took more physical risks: I hiked Yosemite’s Half Dome and the Grand Canyon rim to river to rim. (I’d lost both big toenails by the end of it.) Once, I dislocated my thumb whitewater rafting in Bali in the rain — it was all in great fun.

Now that I’m a parent of twins (and, let’s be honest — now that I’m older and just plain soft), I’m more likely to avail myself of the amenities at a five-star resort than I am to engage in risky physical activities. But small accidents can and do happen all the time. And that’s why —  as the daughter of a doctor and a biologist , and a parent to school-aged kids who always get into something — I always travel with some form of first aid kit. For me, it's just a no-brainer. 

For expert insight on what to look for in a travel first aid kit and how to pack and maintain them, I spoke with Dr. LouAnn Giangreco, chief medical officer at American Family Care. Based on my research and experience as well as the doctor’s expert advice, I compared various top-selling travel first aid kits, making sure to consider the overall size, number and variety of items, and specific features like waterproofing. These are my favorite travel first aid kits I'll be packing for my upcoming adventures.

Best Overall

Band-aid johnson & johnson all-purpose portable compact first-aid kit.

This kit has a protective hard case and includes a solid range of brand-name products, so you know the quality you can expect.

The plastic case is bulky, making this a better kit for a car trip than a backpacking adventure.

This compact, comprehensive, and ruggedly packaged first aid kit checks all the boxes. I like that it includes brand-name products brands including Band-aid, Neosporin, and Benadryl, so you know what you’re getting (and can assure your bandage will actually stick to your skin). Plus, the streamlined and refillable hard-plastic case is durable so it stands up well to rattling around on road trips or shoved in amid camping gear . (The red packaging also makes it easy to spot in a hurry.) While I wouldn’t travel with this on a plane — I’m a carry-on only type — I’d bring it on road trips or camping trips.

The 160-piece kit includes all the essentials to tend to cuts, scrapes, burns, insect bites — all the usual suspects. It has cleansing wipes, gauze pads, assorted bandages, rolled gauze, antibiotic cream, itch cream, acetaminophen, an instant cold pack, gloves, and more. There’s also a first aid guide included.

The Details: 9.5 x 7 x 3.25 inches | 1 pound | Plastic

Best Waterproof

Adventure medical kits ultralight/watertight .9 first-aid kit.

This kit is super light and watertight, so it’s ideal for performance in extreme conditions.

While this kit is watertight, it should not be fully submerged in water.

This lightweight kit is built for performance; it’s ideal for wet, rugged conditions with a zippered ripstop outer bag and two watertight pouches to protect the contents. This kit contains everything you need for basic wound care, a range of OTC meds (for pain, fever, swelling, and allergies), and a solid collection of additional equipment: gloves, splinter picker forceps, irrigation syringe, safety pins, and a roll of duct tape. 

While I’m not a serious hiker or camper anymore, I have plenty of travel uses for a water-tight first aid kit even in the city — like rainy conditions, and even protecting my first aid supplies from from other product spills. ​​I also like that it’s bright yellow, so it’s easy to identify when you need it.

The Details: 9.5 x 7 x 2.5 inches | 10.4 ounces | Silnylon | Waterproof

Best Mini Kit

Coleman all purpose first aid kit.

Although small, this case is mighty: it’s ultralight, but well stocked.

This sleek kit is a must-have for all-purpose travel first aid solutions, but it’s not adequate for more serious hazards.

You can’t expect a full first aid inventory in an itty-bitty kit, but this one does a nice job of balancing a super-streamlined profile with the most key essentials for everyday travel mishaps like small cuts or scrapes. It includes latex-free bandages, antibiotic ointment, antiseptic wipes, and even safety pins. 

The kit is housed in a tin case — picture the size of a tin of mints— which is sturdy and crush-resistant. I’d stash this kit not just in my purse, but in each backpack for the whole family. (Redundancy is the key to preparedness, in my experience as both a mom and as a frequent traveler.) It's also the perfect size to tuck into a bike bag for any potential road mishaps. And the small kit comes with a reasonably small price point, too.

The Details: 0.88 x 2.5 x 3.88 inches | 1 ounce | Tin

Best for Families

American red cross red cross first aid kit.

For its compact size and light weight, this well-stocked kit is nicely equipped for family travel.

Given its soft and lightweight construction, this soft case is not waterproof or rugged.

This 73-piece kit is robust enough for daily first aid, but compact and lightweight enough to travel with when space is at a minimum. It even fits in a bike bag , or in a backpack for day hikes , and slides right into the door compartment of a car.

All of the contents are latex free, so it’s fine to use for people with latex allergies. The soft-pack kit weighs just over 13 ounces and the longest side is just over 9 inches. It includes a range of bandages, ointments, hand sanitizer, aspirin, a CPR mask, a thermometer (for one-time use), gloves, scissors, and tweezers. 

The Details: 7.5 x 9 x 2.5 inches | 13.1 ounces | Nylon

Best for Outdoor Use

Hart outdoor weekend first-aid kit.

This well-organized kit has clear compartments for quick access.

This kit has a substantial bulk to it.

This well-stocked kit has enough stuff for three people on a weekend trip. And it’s especially well organized, with clear, labeled pockets and elastic loops. Spacious pockets with hook-and-loop closures make it easy to get everything in and out, and to customize the kit for your use. I also like that the list of the kit’s contents is printed right on the back so you can see what you have (and replace anything you’ve used). 

This kit includes medications, wound cleansers, and topical relief products packaged in single-dose packages, plus an array of bandages, gauze, tape, scissors, forceps, and an elastic bandage. And it also includes a plainspoken manual written by a wilderness medicine physician.

The Details: 6.5 x 5.5 x 2 inches | 9.5 ounces | Polyester

Best for Road Trips

Surviveware waterproof premium first aid kit.

This kit is thoroughly stocked in a durable and waterproof case, plus the clear labeling system makes it easy to identify what you need in a crunch-time situation.

The watertight zipper is snug and may require extra effort to open.

Road trips require less streamlined packing than air travels, so this larger 200-piece kit is plenty feasible for the car or RV and comes stocked with all the essentials. Labeled and organized inner compartments make it easy to find what you need at a glance. It includes high-quality versions of the basics of wound and burn care, plus shears, tweezers, splinter probes, and safety pins. It even includes a CPR mask and extra internal sleeves to customize your kit.

Plus, this kit is durable and fully waterproof, with watertight zippers to keep the contents dry; the waterproof feature makes this kit a good match for boaters and severe weather conditions, too).

The Details: 7.5 x 5.5 x 3.5 inches | 2.25 pound | TPU fabric | Waterproof

Tips for Buying a Travel First Aid Kit

Pack the essentials.

The number one thing to include in a first aid kit is bleeding control supplies, according to Dr. Giangreco. Depending on the size of your kit, this would include bandages, compression dressings, tape, and ointment. She also recommends carrying hand sanitizer and gloves whenever you might be in a situation to care for others.

Obviously, smaller travel kits don’t accommodate a comprehensive inventory of supplies. But this is the full list of tools the American Red Cross suggests for a first aid kit for a family of four:

• A first aid guide
• Absorbent compress dressings (5 x 9 inches)
• Adhesive bandages (of assorted sizes)
• Adhesive cloth tape (10 yards x 1 inch)
• Antibiotic ointment packets
• Antiseptic wipe packets
• Emergency blanket
• Breathing barrier (with one-way valve)
• Instant cold compress
• Non-latex gloves
• Hydrocortisone ointment packets
• Gauze roll (roller) bandage
• Roller bandage (4 inches wide)
• Sterile gauze pads
• A thermometer (non-mercury/non-glass)
• Triangular bandages

Don’t forget to refill before every trip

If you’ve used any items from your first aid kit, don’t forget to replace them before your next trip. You should also check expiration dates periodically and replace any expired items. Dr. Giangreco recommends noting the printed expiration dates on supplies such as medications and setting a calendar alert to replace them about a month before they expire. She also suggests opening your kit and checking your supplies before each trip in case any of the contents have been water damaged or affected by temperature variations.

Customize your first aid kit

You should customize your kit with any personal medicines for your group’s specific needs. For instance, if you are allergic to bees, include an EpiPen. If you’re diabetic, include a source of quick sugar. “Think about chronic conditions,” Giangreco says. 

Further, she says, customize your kit to your particular activities and potential hazards. “If there’s a risk of extremity injury, think about things like Ace wraps or splints,” she says. “My daughter is a ski racer — and skis have sharp edges, so they carry tourniquets . Or if you're diving, you may want to think about things like hot packs to denature stings or forceps tweezers to be able to remove spines.”

Make sure you have the training to use your supplies

The items in your kit are only valuable in an emergency if you know how to use them, so make sure you’re first aid trained, Giangreco says. "Take a Stop the Bleed course, learn CPR, learn how to use an AED, and then you'll be better prepared," she added.

Yes, TSA allows first aid kits and supplies. However, some specific rules apply. For instance, TSA allows larger amounts of medically necessary liquids, gels, and aerosols in reasonable quantities for your trip, but you must declare them to the officers at the checkpoint to be inspected. Be sure to take a look at TSA's list of authorized medical supplies before heading to the airport.

You should carry a first aid kit just about everywhere you go, even if you’re just exploring around an urban environment with plenty of resources. “[Then] you’re not trying to chase down a gift shop or pharmacy,” Giangreco says — or overpay enormously for convenience.

You should always carry any necessary medications in your carry-on or personal item bag, in case your luggage is lost, damaged, or delayed. Keep medicines in their original containers labeled with your full name, health care provider's name, generic and brand name, and dosage, according to the CDC’s guidelines .

Why Trust Travel + Leisure?

Alesandra Dubin used her experience as a travel and lifestyle writer and professional product reviewer, as well as research, to highlight the best first aid kits for travel. As a frequent traveler and mom to 9-year-old twins, she regularly encounters minor injuries and discomforts on the road, and always travels with first aid supplies to cover her family’s needs. She also spoke with Dr. LouAnn Giangreco, chief medical officer at American Family Care , to gather the best tips for keeping safe and healthy while traveling.

First Aid Kits on Airline Flights

First aid kits on airline flights are adequate to respond to most in-flight emergencies. However, if you want to take a travel first aid kit with you to your destination, you may want to keep it in checked baggage or you must remove banned first aid items from your kit. Here is a list of approved first aid items that travelers can carry on airline flights.

Most first aid items are relatively soft and not very dangerous to the average flight crew. Those items are still welcome in carry-on baggage for domestic airline flights in the United States. Flights overseas have, in most cases, banned all except essential items from carry-on bags. The approved first aid items for domestic airline flights include:

• Bandage scissors (blades less than four inches)
• Roller gauze
• Triangular bandages
• Elastic bandages
• Adhesive bandages
• Pain relievers
• Barrier devices for CPR

Allowed in Limited Quantities

Heightened security on airline flights has led to restrictions on all liquids and gels. Solid items are still available, such as stick antiperspirants or lip balms. Here are restricted items commonly found in a first aid kit:

• Hand cleaner
• Hydrogen peroxide
• Antibiotic ointment
• Insect bite swabs

None of these liquids or gels can be in a container larger than 3 fl oz (100 ml) and all liquids and gels must fit into a single quart-sized resealable baggie.

Allowed With Permission From Security Personnel

Some first aid items must be approved for carry-on by security personnel prior to boarding domestic airline flights. These first aid items are usually essential supplies for specific medical conditions. It is important to declare these first aid and medical items while proceeding through airport security. These items will be allowed on domestic airline flights after inspection:

• Glucose gels or liquids including juice for diabetic passengers (cannot be more than 5oz or 148ml)
• Diabetic supplies including syringes, lancets, glucometers, pumps, etc.
• Epinephrine auto-injector
• Other medication and pumps such as Flolan for primary pulmonary hypertension
• Nitroglycerin spray
• 4oz or less of essential non-prescription gel or liquid medications (eye care, saline, sterile lubricant, etc.)
• Liquid prescription medication if the label matches the name of the passenger

Talk to Security

Airport security will have to make decisions every day regarding medical supplies. If you have an essential need such as wound care items on a long flight, for example, speak to security about it. Safety on airline flights is important for all of us, but security officers will try to be reasonable regarding passengers' medical needs.

Can You Bring a First Aid Kit on a Plane? Absolutely, and Here’s Why You Should!

You’re all set for your much-awaited vacation. You’ve got your tickets, packed your bags, and you’re ready to go. But, wait! Have you thought about your health and safety during your journey? What if you, your kids, or your travel companion encounters a sudden ailment or an injury during your flight? Agitated? Well, here’s the solution – bring a first aid kit on your plane journey!

• The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) permits first aid kits in carry-on luggage as long as they adhere to agency guidelines.
• Carrying a first aid kit is beneficial, particularly for passengers with medical conditions or those traveling with children.
• Despite the potential for accidents and injuries during travel, only 26% of travelers carry a first aid kit, according to a survey by the American Red Cross.
• Make sure to familiarize yourself with TSA guidelines to avoid any issues at security.
• First aid kits can be a lifesaver in many situations, not just in the air, but throughout your trip.

Understanding TSA Guidelines for First Aid Kits

According to the TSA, passengers are allowed to bring a first aid kit on a plane in their carry-on luggage. However, there are some rules to keep in mind. Any liquid, aerosol, gel, cream or paste in your first aid kit, such as antiseptic wipes or creams, must follow the TSA’s 3-1-1 rule. This rule states that each passenger can bring containers no larger than 3.4 ounces, all of which must fit into a single, quart-size, clear, resealable plastic bag. Sharps such as scissors must be less than 4 inches long.

The Value of a First Aid Kit

As stated by Dr. David G. Schlundt, a Professor of Psychology at Vanderbilt University, “Having a first aid kit on hand during air travel is always a good idea, especially if you have a medical condition or are traveling with children.” It’s a simple precaution that could make a world of difference in a health-related emergency.

Yet, despite the evident benefits, a surprising number of travelers neglect to bring a first aid kit. A survey by the American Red Cross found that only 26% of respondents carry a first aid kit when traveling. This is a rather concerning statistic considering the potential for accidents and injuries while on the move.

What to Include in Your Travel First Aid Kit?

Now that we’ve established the importance of having a first aid kit, let’s discuss what it should contain. A basic travel first aid kit could include the following items:

• Adhesive bandages of various sizes
• Sterile gauze pads and adhesive tape
• Antiseptic wipes or cream
• Tweezers and scissors (remember, scissors should be less than 4 inches long)
• A digital thermometer
• Over-the-counter pain medication, such as ibuprofen
• Any prescription medications

Remember, each traveler’s needs will be unique, so consider your personal health considerations when packing your first aid kit.

First Aid Kits: Not Just for the Air!

While we’ve primarily discussed the benefits of having a first aid kit on a plane, let’s not forget that they’re incredibly useful throughout your trip. Whether you’re exploring a bustling city, hiking in the wilderness , or relaxing at a beach resort, accidents can happen anywhere. A well-stocked first aid kit can help you respond effectively to a wide range of common travel ailments and injuries, from cuts and scrapes to headaches and allergic reactions.

Concluding Thoughts

In the hustle and bustle of preparing for a trip, it’s easy to overlook something as simple yet essential as a first aid kit. But, as we’ve discovered, it’s a small addition to your luggage that can make a significant difference to your travel safety and well-being. So, next time you’re preparing for a trip, ask yourself: “Can I bring a first aid kit on a plane?” Yes, you can, and indeed, you should!

Can I bring scissors in my first aid kit on a plane?

Yes, but the TSA rules state that scissors must be less than 4 inches long from the pivot point.

Can I bring medication in my carry-on?

Yes, prescription and over-the-counter medications are allowed in carry-on luggage. It’s recommended to keep them in their original packaging.

What should I do if I have a larger item that doesn’t fit in my quart-sized bag?

If you have a medical necessity for larger quantities of non-prescription liquid medications, you can declare these at the checkpoint for further inspection.

Do all airlines allow first aid kits?

Yes, most airlines follow TSA guidelines, which allow first aid kits. However, it’s always a good idea to check with your airline for any specific restrictions.

Can I bring a pre-packaged first aid kit on a plane?

Yes, pre-packaged first aid kits can be brought on a plane, but they should still adhere to TSA guidelines, particularly regarding liquids and sharps.

Can I bring a first aid kit in my checked luggage?

Yes, you can pack a first aid kit in your checked luggage. Some items not allowed in carry-on luggage may be permitted in checked luggage.

Injuries happen without respect for time or location, and traveling without a first aid kit is asking for trouble.

That’s why it’s important to have a handy and compact first aid kit that includes a wound disinfection component, gauze pads, and adhesive tape to keep the gauze fixed. These elements can help you prevent wound infection if you end up getting a cut while on the move.

To be fully prepared, you need to ensure that your first aid kit is well-equipped, so let’s take a look at what you should look for.

Before buying a first aid travel kit, you should consider a few factors to help you make the right decision. Not every kit is suitable for all types of injuries, so you may have to prioritize.

You should also consider how well the first aid kit fits into your luggage or backpack and whether it has enough space for you to add personal medication .

Finally, the medical pieces included can vary greatly, as some kits mainly consist of gauze pads, while others are filled with items for more serious injuries. Here are some of the main features to consider before buying a first aid kit for traveling.

Compact Size

Every usable travel first aid kit comes with a carrying bag, so consider whether the size of the bag fits into your luggage . It largely depends on the number of items included, as some kits come with 100 medical pieces and others with up to 300.

Bottom Line: To help you decide on your size needs, consider the number of people going on the trip and how long you will be away.

Medical Pieces

There are differences in the contents of each first aid kit, but some items are essential. When buying a first aid kit for traveling, make sure it comes with gauze pads, medical tape, bandages, antiseptics, gloves, trauma dressing, and scissors .

These are just some of the items you can use to disinfect and dress a wound to make sure it’s clean until you get back to your hotel or reach a hospital in the case of more serious wounds.

Number of Pieces

If you are going on a trip for a day or 2, the chances are that basic first aid kits will suffice. However, if you are going on a longer trip, especially with your family or friends, you need to bring a well-equipped kit.

These often include up to 300 pieces in a set and will almost certainly be sufficient for any injury you might suffer. It’s always a good idea to bring a well-equipped kit on trips to faraway destinations — just in case.

If you plan on bringing personal medication in combination with all the medical pieces in a first aid kit, you should put labels on every medication . By doing so, you will prevent confusion if you need to use a certain item in case of an emergency.

Bottom Line: Wherever you’re headed, a first aid kit is part of any list of essentials for camping , hiking , or the beach .

Covering a range of sizes for different lengths of trips, this list includes some of the best medical sets you can use for first aid.

Travel Smart: Pack These First Aid Kit Essentials in Your Suitcase

Date Published: September 18, 2024

From the minute you decide where to go, to planning the sights to see, and determining what to pack, traveling is exciting! No matter where you’re headed next, don’t forget about a first aid kit for traveling.

At a loss for what to pack? We’ve got you covered with a travel first aid kit essentials checklist!

First Aid Kits for Every Travel Occasion

Whether heading out for a short-day trip or global adventure, having the right items on hand can be a lifesaver!

• Short trips: A first aid kit for weekend camping or short day-trips ensures a minor injury won’t disrupt your limited time away since you’ll have the essentials.
• Extended, overnight, or road trips: A first aid kit for an extended stay or packing car kit essentials for a long road trip guarantees the safety and well-being of everyone onboard—especially if you're heading to a remote location where medical help may be limited.
• International travel or traveling abroad: Your international first aid kit helps you respond to whatever may occur while exploring new countries.

Common Injuries While Traveling

When assembling a first aid kit for traveling, start by identifying what illnesses and injuries are most likely to occur and contemplate where you’re going. The range of injuries that could occur while traveling vary greatly depending on location. For example, are you camping where injuries like bug bites, ticks or stings are more likely? Or are you traveling to a warmer climate where heat exhaustion and sunburn risk are heightened?

Additionally, account for the trip duration, number of people in your group, existing medical conditions, and proximity of medical care should anyone need it.

A few common injuries that occur while traveling include:

• Motorcycle Accident ( Source: CDC )
• Asthma , Stroke , Cardiac Arrest ( Source: CDC )
• Allergic reactions
• Dehydration
• Falls and cuts
• Insect bites

What to Put in a Travel First Aid Kit

A good first aid kit for traveling includes things you may need to help you manage basic health issues. Keep in mind, this isn’t an all-inclusive checklist — especially if space is limited. But there are a few essentials for every travel first aid kit, whether you’re traveling with an infant or going on an international trip.

Basic First Aid Kit Essentials

• Adhesive bandages in assorted sizes
• Adhesive first aid tape
• Aloe Vera gel for the treatment of minor burns
• Antibacterial ointment
• Alcohol wipes or Antiseptic wipes or spray
• Cotton pads and swabs
• Disposable latex-free exam gloves
• Disposable masks
• Elastic bandage wraps
• First aid guide
• Hydro-colloid blister plasters
• Instant cold pack
• Medical tape
• Medication (pain relief, antacids, anti-diarrhea, cold and cough, motion sickness, and antihistamines)
• Saline packets to wash out wounds
• Steri-strips
• Thermometer
• Topical corticosteroids for symptomatic relief of bites, stings, and other skin irritations

The medication you choose to include in your first aid kits for travel varies depending on your expected needs. Aside from a few essentials as mentioned above, don’t forget to add prescription medications. Also consider who you’re traveling with – for example, if you’re bringing along a baby or young child, don’t forget to pack an infant first aid kit for your travels with age-appropriate medications.

When traveling with any type of medication — over the counter or prescription — there are a few things to remember:

• All medications should be kept in their original packaging, regardless of whether they are prescribed or over-the-counter purchases. This makes medications easily identifiable, helping you get through security stations with ease and avoid any misunderstandings.
• Plan enough medication for your trip including an additional supply in case your trip is unexpectedly extended.
• For an existing medical condition that requires medication, consult your healthcare practitioner before you travel. Ask if there is anything you need to be aware of or food in other medicines that may conflict—this baseline knowledge provides peace of mind especially when traveling to new places.
• Make copies of all prescriptions to help you to replace any if they are lost or stolen.

The American Red Cross has several first aid kits to review to give you a starting point:

Advanced Medical First Aid Kits

Think about carrying an advanced medical first aid kit for traveling or a customized international travel first aid kit based on your specific needs if you’re venturing to remote locations or extreme climates.

For example, you may need to include sterile equipment like lancets, assorted syringes, water purification tablets, or a Wilderness and Remote First Aid Emergency Reference Guide and Pocket Guide .

First Aid Courses and First Aid App

Having a well-planned first aid kit for traveling is only beneficial if you also know how to effectively use the items. Take a first aid training course to enhance your travel preparedness.

The free First Aid mobile app by the American Red Cross complements your first aid kit for traveling perfectly by making expert advice for everyday emergencies accessible — from the latest first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques to the nearest hospital location. The Red Cross First Aid App keeps you updated on your lifesaving skills and provides step-by-step instructions for common first aid scenarios, which can be invaluable in an emergency.

What Can I Bring?

Planning ahead and packing properly can facilitate the screening process and ease your travel experience at the airport. Know what you can pack in your carry-on and checked baggage before arriving at the airport by reviewing the lists below. Even if an item is generally permitted, it may be subject to additional screening or not allowed through the checkpoint if it triggers an alarm during the screening process, appears to have been tampered with, or poses other security concerns. Read about civil penalties for prohibited items .

• Twitter: @AskTSA
• Facebook Messenger:  www.fb.com/AskTSA
• Apple Business Chat: AskTSA
• Text Message: Text "Travel" to AskTSA (275-872)

The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint.

Officers may ask you to power up your electronic device, including cell phones. Powerless devices will not be permitted onboard the aircraft. TSA does not read or copy information from your device.

Blood Sugar Test Kit

• Carry On Bags: Yes
• Checked Bags: Yes

Please notify the TSA officer that you have diabetes and are carrying your supplies with you. Insulin pumps and supplies must be accompanied by insulin, and insulin in any form or dispenser must be clearly identified.

Learn more about transporting medication on your next flight.

Please visit our special procedures page for information on traveling through the checkpoint with a cane.

Contact Lens Solution

TSA allows larger amounts of medically necessary liquids, gels, and aerosols in reasonable quantities for your trip, but you must declare them to security officers at the checkpoint for inspection. Any oversized medically-necessary liquids that alarm during screening, testing positive for certain chemicals, may not be allowed through the screening checkpoint. Some contact lens solutions contain chemicals that typically alarm and may not permitted through the checkpoint. We recommend placing contact lens solutions over 3.4 ounces in your checked baggage.

Inform the TSA officer if you have a bone growth stimulator, spinal stimulator, neurostimulator, port, feeding tube, insulin pump, ostomy or other medical device attached to your body and where it is located before the screening process begins. You may provide the officer with the TSA notification card or other medical documentation to describe your condition. Submit the device for X-ray screening if you can safely disconnect. Consult with the manufacturer of the device to determine whether it can pass through the X-ray, metal detector or advanced imaging technology for screening. If you cannot disconnect from the device, it may require additional screening and those in sensitive areas are subject to careful and gentle inspection. For more information, see TSA special procedures . If you need assistance with screening, you may ask for a Passenger Support Specialist or a Supervisory TSA Officer. Devices containing lithium metal or lithium ion batteries must be carried in carry-on baggage.  Most other consumer electronic devices containing batteries are allowed in carry-on and checked baggage.

For more information, see the FAA regulations on batteries.

• Carry On Bags: Yes (Less than or equal to 3.4oz/100 ml allowed)

We recommend, but do not require, that your medications be labeled to facilitate the security process.

Check with your airline or travel agent to see if firearms are permitted in checked baggage on the airline you are flying. Ask about limitations or fees, if any, that apply.

Any sharp objects in checked baggage should be sheathed or securely wrapped to prevent injury to baggage handlers and Security Officers.

How To Pack A Professional Travel First Aid Kit

I get a lot of questions about health care on the road. Since I’m not a doctor, I don’t like giving medical advice beyond a few general tips so I’ve asked Mike Huxley, a registered nurse, to share his expert tips and advice when it comes to packing a first aid kit for your travels.

I have been traveling the world for over fifteen years now, and in that time I have patched up more travelers’ scrapes and sprains than I can remember.

Thankfully, pretty much all of the incidents I have dealt with so far have been minor. Even during my time spent volunteering as an expedition medic in the Sahara, the jungles of Kalimantan and Borneo, and many other amazing places, I have been able to deal with most accidents and injuries that have crossed my path.

I have only been able to do all of this, however, because I have always packed my trusty first aid kit. It has evolved and been refined over the years, but I have always carried one.

As any experienced traveler or health professional will tell you, things can and occasionally do go wrong on any trip , and taking a well-stocked kit with you is always advised.

When I first started traveling, I did what most sensible people do and carried a commercially available emergency first aid kit .

However, over the years, and with a lot of experience and my nursing qualification behind me, I have refined my own kit to reflect what I will use out on the road and what I know will make for a much better first aid kit for the average traveler too.

The best first aid kits are simple but varied and have a variety of dressings and equipment to deal with the basics. More importantly, they can be used with little or no training. So, what items should you include? Here are my picks for the essentials:

1. Band-Aids/Plasters It goes without saying that these are absolutely essential in any first aid kit. The most common form of minor injury is a cut or a graze, so it is always a good idea to carry a handful of Band-Aids in a variety of sizes .

If you think you will be doing a lot of trekking on your travels and you aren’t used to that form of exercise, then some blister plasters are a good idea.

It isn’t necessary to go overboard and carry so many you could start your own tiny field hospital; just a few of each type will do, as you can always restock when you pass a pharmacy.

2. Gauze Gauze is the medical jack-of-all-trades. I never carry a first aid kit without a supply of gauze in it, and I can’t tell you how many times it has come in useful over the years. It can be used to apply pressure to a wound, clean an injury, soak up blood, help stop bleeding, and even form part of a basic dressing for small-to-medium wounds.

A clean wound and a layer of gauze kept down with either tape or an adhesive bandage is often enough to allow time for you to go and get it looked at by a professional.

The best type of gauze to carry in a first aid kit is individually wrapped sterile squares. This eliminates the need to cut them to size when you need them quickly and obviously makes it easier to keep the wound clean and sterile.

3. Crepe bandages (ACE or elastic bandages) For when you have something a bit bigger than a cut, basic crepe bandages are useful for keeping small dressings clean and in place until you can get some medical attention.

Remember, you’re only going to use them in an emergency, until you can get some professional medical care (ideally covered through the travel insurance that you got in advance of your trip). You don’t need too many of these, just one or two at most.

4. Surgical tape Surgical tape is one of those essential emergency items for when you need to apply and secure gauze or a bandage to a wound, although Band-Aids can do the same job if need be.

5. Small scissors These come standard in any commercially available first aid kit (although you can buy them separately too) and are obviously useful for trimming gauze or bandages to size. Just be careful if you do carry scissors to ensure that your first aid kit goes in your checked bag when you are in transit or else airline security will take them off you.

If you’re flying carry-on only, small scissors (max 4 inches/10 centimeters) are permitted according to the TSA. If you want to be on the safe side, get ones with rounded tips. Also, remember that you don’t need to bring them from home — most grocery stores or stationery shops have them as well.

6. Tweezers Tweezers are another item that often comes standard in most first aid kits and can be useful for pulling out splinters, getting out little bits of stone or dirt when cleaning a wound, or any number of other practical uses.

7. Antiseptic wipes For some reason this tends to be the one thing most people overlook when thinking of first aid, but antiseptic wipes are an absolute essential in any good pack. No one wants a cut or wound to get infected, and antiseptic wipes are perfect for cleaning it before applying a dressing.

Just a small handful will suffice for most packs. Like most basic items, they are easy to replace at any pharmacy when you run low.

8. Condoms Apart from the obvious benefits (staying sexually safe), these handy little items can be used as emergency water carriers or even filled with ice as an emergency ice pack. I’ve personally never had any call to use them in that manner, but it is a handy bit of information to keep in mind.

9. Pain relief medication A small pack of basic acetaminophen (also known as paracetamol) or any of the associated brand names ( like Tylenol ) is usually sufficient, but ibuprofen or other similar medications are fine too. It doesn’t have to be fancy — basically whatever you normally take for pain relief when you have a headache or minor pain.

10. Loperamide tablets Also known under a variety of brand names such as Imodium , this is useful for stopping diarrhea for short periods when you need to catch a bus or train. Remember, these are for those emergency moments only when you are actually in transit, as they do not cure diarrhea and shouldn’t be used when you can rest up for a couple of days. (Normally the best way to treat diarrhea is to let everything pass through your system normally and drink plenty of water to replace lost fluids.)

If you use them sparingly, properly, and as directed on the pack, loperamide tablets can be useful additions to any travel first aid kit.

11. Antihistamine cream It happens to all of us on our travels: we get bitten by some form of insect and end up with a painfully itchy bump or rash. Don’t worry, the absolute majority of the time the bumps and stings aren’t anything to worry about at all, but they are damned annoying! This is why a good antihistamine cream is a useful addition to help control itching and swelling.

12. Antibacterial creams It’s also a good idea to carry antibacterial creams like Neosporin for any cuts and scrapes you get. This will help heal them faster as well as prevent any possible infections.

Obviously, this list can be tailored or added to depending on your trip needs (a tropical jungle trek will require different planning than a city break in Europe ). Any good first aid kit should also include any specific, individually prescribed medication or antimalarial prophylaxis.

For the majority of travelers, however, the items and kit listed above will cover the majority of basic incidents and accidents. You’ll also want to make sure you have comprehensive travel insurance as well to protect you against unexpected costs that you might incur should an emergency happen.

For any injury, illness, bang, or scrape that requires more than the basics and cannot be covered by the kit above, you should seek professional medical attention. Unless you are extremely far off the beaten track, you should be able to seek out professional assistance to deal with medical emergencies pretty easily if something happens you can’t handle yourself.

So go pack up your own little first aid kit and keep it stashed in your pack for emergencies. Odds are you will probably never use it — and I hope you never need to — but if you have one, at least you can enjoy your travels with peace of mind and be safe in the knowledge that you are prepared.

Important Note: When carrying any generic medication, it is essential that it is kept in its original packaging when you are traveling in case customs officials need to check it. The information provided here is for general travel health advice and information only. It is provided by a qualified nurse, but it is not a replacement for a personal consultation with a travel nurse specialist, your GP, or a doctor specializing in travel medicine who can tailor advice to your individual medical history and needs.  

Book Your Trip: Logistical Tips and Tricks

Book Your Flight Find a cheap flight by using Skyscanner . It’s my favorite search engine because it searches websites and airlines around the globe so you always know no stone is being left unturned.

Book Your Accommodation You can book your hostel with Hostelworld . If you want to stay somewhere other than a hostel, use Booking.com as it consistently returns the cheapest rates for guesthouses and hotels.

Don’t Forget Travel Insurance Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past. My favorite companies that offer the best service and value are:

• SafetyWing (best for everyone)
• InsureMyTrip (for those 70 and over)
• Medjet (for additional evacuation coverage)

This list of gear isn’t all-inclusive since you are limited by what you can take in your carry-on bags. One item that you’ll need to scrounge up would be a decent knife, but you could look for that while you were already on the move.

We can’t have the gear to cover every eventuality, but these are some good solid basics, that we can build on if they are ever needed.

You should be constantly reevaluating your Airport Carry On Get Home Kit , but this is a good start for your carry-on bag or backpack.

• Bandana or even better, a Shemagh
• Duct Tape – wrapped around an old hotel key card.
• Paracord – In addition to 50-100 feet of paracord in your bag, you may want to keep an extra Paracord Bracelet, clipped to your carry-on bag’s handle
• Military Rain poncho – This can act as your rain gear and your shelter tarp, or in a pinch you add a poncho liner or jungle blanket and you’ve got a weather-resistant sleep system.
• Compass – even a  simple, cheap Ball Compass
• Small water filter – a Sawyer Mini (100,000 gallons) or a LifeStraw (264.172 gallons) would be perfect. (See how these 2 filters compare)
• Stainless Steel water bottle – This can save you from buying the $4 bottled water at the airport and can be used to carry and boil water if you find yourself stranded far from home! If you don’t go stainless steel, you still need a way to carry water so consider a Collapsible water bottle – or a Nalgene bottle. Remember to make sure it’s empty before going through security at the airport.
• Cigarette Lighter – You may not smoke, but if you have to get home on foot, it’d sure be nice to be able to make fire quick and easily. The Bic lighters seem to have a higher quality construction and reliability, over the generic gas station lighters.
• carry-on would be pushing your luck, then try the Super Sharpie Marker (very large heavy marker) – Good for marking things, and perhaps an improvised kubotan!
• Cell phone charger – you’ll want some form of battery backup charger and perhaps a hand-crank charger or solar charger for your phone.
• Extra medications – in case you are on the road longer than originally expected
• List of phone numbers – In case you’re phone becomes inoperable, you can still use another phone to call loved ones or emergency contacts.
• First Aid Kit (Travel Size)

Building your EDC Airport Survival Kit

If you want to travel whether for business or leisure then you may have to tweak your usual EDC (everyday carry) kit to ensure that it meets the standards set out by the TSA (Transportation Security Administration). It is crucial to create an EDC airport survival kit with approved items.

When preparing the kit, spend time evaluating the specific items you usually carry then narrow them down to what you will specifically need during the whole trip. Ask yourself about the specific challenges or threats that you will most likely face when you travel by plane as well as when doing the activities you intend to engage in while roaming around your destination.

Fortunately, even if you have listed some necessary items that the TSA does not approve, you can always modify them or find alternatives so your airport survival kit will comply with the federal law.

We have already tackled some important items you should include in your airport carry-on kit . Let us elaborate on the most important ones in the provided list, so you will know in general that you are bringing the right tools.

Tactical Flashlights

Some flashlights are allowed but keep in mind that it falls under the category of a tool, so it is important for it to be less than 7 inches long . Make sure that the flashlight does not look aggressive, too. This will prevent it from being subjected to additional scrutiny.

It is important to remove the flashlight’s batteries before packing it . This is to prevent accidental leakage. Put the batteries in a Ziploc bag in a similar way as when you are storing liquids.

Also, take note that the agent from the TSA might try the flashlight to find out if it works. This makes it necessary to pack the batteries close to you.

Tactical Pen

One of the trickiest items when creating an airport survival kit is the tactical pen . This item might raise suspicion from security personnel. It will also depend on the TSA agent’s discretion whether to allow you to bring it on the plane. If you think you really need a tactical pen then ensure that it is packed in your checked luggage.

This is specifically important if the pen comes with features that will categorize it as a weapon. As much as possible, invest in a TSA-approved tactical pen just to avoid being questioned and scrutinized, holding you up. To be safe, you may want to bring the following pens that are guaranteed to be approved in airports.

• Smith & Wesson 6.1-inch Refillable Aircraft Aluminum Tactical Pen

The features of this matte black Smith & Wesson Pen fit the requirements for the TSA. Aside from having the look of a harmless mechanical pencil, this pen also comes with a pull cap . Make sure to put the cap over the pen’s pointed end if you plan to include it in your carry-on bag to turn it into the writing config. It features a tipped point made of aircraft-grade aluminum material. You can also easily clip it to your TSA-approved survival kit or carry-on bag.

• Pocket Partners Practical Tactical Pen  

With its sleek design and minimalist apperance, you can consider this tactical pen to be the ultimate discreet self-defense weapon. It is a great item to include in your EDC kit for the flight. At face value, it looks just like a writing pen. You can even clip this item on your shirt pocket. Despite its simple look, it is extremely useful in emergencies with its glass breaker and aircraft-grade aluminum material.

Folding Knives

While folding knives are not often permitted as carry-on, you can still find a suitable and TSA-approved alternative. To find such an alternative, think about the specific ways  you will be using the folding knife. You should then consider other items that can perform the same function.

A great alternative that is safe for your travels is a Swiss Army Knife that does not come with an actual knife. What it contains, instead, are tools serving the same purposes, like scissors, tweezers, mini-screwdriver, and a nail file that has a pointed and unsharpened end.

First Aid Kit

Of course, your EDC survival bag will not be complete without a first-aid kit. Note that you do not need to make a full-blown TSA first aid kit. Just a few bandages, prescription meds, and over-the-counter pain relievers should suffice. As much as possible, put some antacids in the kit, too. It is a must to have a basic first-aid kit as you won’t know when you will be dealing with issues while traveling, like headaches, blisters, or traveler’s runs.

The majority of multi-tools nowadays come with a blade, which the TSA does not permit. This is the main reason why you have to figure out ahead of time specific features that you will likely need during your trip.

A great choice is the LEATHERMAN Style PS Keychain Multi-tool that contains several useful tools and features, like nail file, tweezers, screwdrivers, pliers, scissors, and wire cutters. TSA will allow this to pass their screening process.

You can also go for the Gerber 600 Needlenose Multi-Plier Bladeless, which is a full-size multi-tool without the knife.

Fire-Starting Kit

The rules and regulations of the TSA permit one set of safety matches and one cigarette lighter, which is also TSA-approved for carry-on. You may also bring two more lighters but you have to put them in your checked baggage. It is also important for these additional lighters to be in containers approved by TSA.

Back-up fuel or flammable items are not allowed, even if you check them. If you are planning to visit a place that requires you to use the mentioned items then ensure that you have the ability to pick these items up once you land.

Survival Whistles

Bring a survival whistle with you on your trip. It is allowed both in your checked luggage and carry-on bag. However, make sure to check if the whistle you are bringing contains fire-making parts. Remember that you are not permitted to put strike-anywhere matches in all your luggage.

Bonus Items

If you have space and can bear the extra weight, here are some nice to have items.

• SAS Survival Handbook pocket edition (any survival handbook will do, choose your favorite)
• A larger, lightweight tarp for a shelter.
• Leatherman Sidekick Carabiner Multipurpose Tool – A carabiner with bottle opener and small wrench.
• Tactical Pen – The trick is to get one that doesn’t look like it’s a tactical pen. The Schrade Tactical Pen is a good choice, for this very reason. If you think that carrying a tactical pen in your

There is never going to be an Airport friendly kit that will let you carry 100% of the supplies you’ll need to go to or from during a long journey, but these carefully chosen items should provide you with a great start.

If we overlooked any items that you think would be helpful, let me know!

There is no need for you to abandon your EDC survival kit if you plan to travel by airplane. Note that there are a few ways for you to modify it in a way that it retains its functionality while adhering to the TSA regulations . However, take note that such TSA regulations often change.

With that, make it a point to check the guidelines and rules set by the TSA one week before your scheduled flight. Be extra careful because TSA agents are authorized to confiscate any item which they think causes suspicion and alarm.

7 Best Ways to Convert a Poncho to a Survival Tarp Shelter

How to make (& use) a diy camo ghillie blanket in 6 steps, 13 thoughts on “tsa approved airport carry-on & get home kit gear list”.

Thank you for the post. I do research at the county courthouse and this get home kit would be allowed in the courthouse. I can be prepared and get to come home as well. thanks again.

One thing that I did not see is a first aid kit. I would recommend something like this, because it can cover a very wide variety of accidents.

https://amzn.to/1nYtVqQ

Maps! A couple large plastic trash bags (multi-purpose) And maybe a handful of Cliff Bars. spare socks

Use a backpack for your carryon bag — in a SHTF crisis, you can ditch the business supplies.

I was tsa pre-approved and forgot abt my cc knife. Well they found it. I have to say it was very evident that i had some kind of “knife” in my bag. They took it. Not happy abt that but good to know.

I fly very often and carry a similar kit in my backpack. Here are some add-ons.

Instead of a Nalgene bottle, I carry a Lifegreen 27 oz wide mouth stainless steel water bottle – Again, it’s fine to take this through security as long as it’s empty. Then you fill it up at a water fountain. A fold-up map of the US. I get a destination map from the rental car counter. Earbud headphones Earplugs (planes are loud) Chap stick A small power strip A Mylar bag (The rescue kind, like a Mylar blanket) A coloring book and small pack of crayons – I give these away to travel-addled kids $20 in one dollar bills. (For stupid toll roads.) A roll of pre-1964 quarters – I used to keep these loose in a zip-loc bag, but security hand checked it about 75% of the time. In the roll they only check it one time in 10. Oat and Honey cereal bars Alka-Seltzer – This is really handy and deserves special mention. It treats heartburn, upset stomach, headache, and muscle pain.

I usually check a bag as well. In it I have my pocketknife and firearm. (Don’t forget to unload, lock, and declare the firearm.) I also keep backup copies (color xerox) of my ID and travel Amex.

Why pre-1964 quarters? I would add freezer bags to store the map and anything else so you have them serving two purposes, storage to keep things from getting beat up and stay dry and for use later if needed. Over the counter meds in a single dispense packet so there is no question what you have. Batteries have been an issue starting fires, so package them individually.

Pre-1964 quarters/dimes/nickels are mostly silver, as opposed to zinc.

Zebra F-701 Pen – nice pointy metal object in hand that doesn’t scream out tactical pen. Solar-powered flashlight/charger Paracord belt for pants Latex gloves, N95 mask, and bleach wipes Swimming goggles (to avoid smoke, gases, irritants, etc.) $20 in ones and roll of pre-65 silver dimes Granola bars Water purifier tabs Dollar store bota bag flask Duct tape Embroidery scissors Lighter Alvin brass pencil sharpener (Google and you’ll see why) 3 mil contractor trash bag Ultralight rain/wind jacket Aspirin/Benadryl/Antacids Great pair of walking shoes Sharpened key on key ring Encrypted USB flash drive with important documents/info Button compass Magnifying glass Really good book

Most of it is in one plastic bag so TSA can inspect and clear anything they want (never a problem), but dup use items go either in pants pockets or one/other of the bags. All very compact. I did have to use flashlight, mask, and goggles once due to hotel fire (smoke).

Great stuff. That’s a really good list. Thank you for sharing it.

Don’t forget tampons & feminine wipes. Us gals don’t want to be stuck. I always carry them no matter what because they can be used for so many other things as well.

Great list… I’d just add Food… like protein bars, nuts, dried fruit, beef jerky, hard candy Menstrual Pads… they work on the obvious, and they are great to stop bleeding. Paper back book…. prevents boredom, and makes great kindling. Zipper bags… I love these things, and carry them everywhere. You never know what you will want to bag up.

Blackhawk makes at least two different sized nylon zipper bags that are designed to fit into a BDU leg pocket. I use the smaller one as a traveling office to carry pens, pencils, Highlighters, sharpies, 4″ crescent wrench, tweezers, Leatherman “Style cs” scissors, smaller handled 4″ Phillips and slotted screw drivers (Have you ever seen someone stabbed with a screwdriver? Possibly better than a tactical pen!). In the larger bag I carry my survival stuff; nothing remarkable, but I do carry a compressed partial roll of electrical tape. Its sometimes quicker than duct tape for securing things.

As anyone traveled Internationally with these items? I am putting together my carry on for a business trip to China and If my checked bag is lost or something bad happens I can have something to help me out. Any ideas of what to add and also how to get through TSA with minimum questions.

The move from proxy to HOT war

I am dubious about this report until I can find confirmation.

On searching i could only find one other source from a secondary source, however found this..

Satellite imagery confirms a Russian strategic early warning radar site in the southwestern end of the country was substantially damaged in a reported Ukrainian drone attack earlier this week. This looks to be a first-of-its-kind attack on a site linked to Russia's general strategic defense. As such, it points to a new and worrisome dimension to the conflict, especially when it comes to the potential use of nuclear weapons.

A satellite image taken on May 23 that The War Zone obtained from Planet Labs of the Armavir Radar Station in Russia's southwestern Krasnodar Krai shows significant debris around one of the site's two Voronezh-DM radar buildings. These are ultra-high-frequency (UHF) over-the-horizon (OTH) radars that are part of Russia's nuclear ballistic missile early warning system.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/strike-russian-strategic-early-warning-190843708.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWNrZHVja2dvLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAKRL_4V2uGXM-F6h4lJBxw2ic8VkYVqTnwlXiE42Onpu22OFw_uzFdC0VZ421YkmQEhoJHQ6p4kg-nF_igSCsQJI8wtfx2PYy7kK2MRcS4nU-wNAWIto8YI24p-Y5dV0SKxO-GlVXG-GurfqSzzgcyH9Xqb0P6szc-AW9-EcR3fz

Here is Hal Turner’s coverage

*** flash *** urgent*** russia early-warning (nuclear) missile radar attacked.

One of Russia's absolutely key over-the-horizon, nuclear-early-warning radar sites has been hit by drone attack, BLINDING Russia from missiles launched at them from . . .  the Middle East.

The 818th Separate Radio-Technical Unit at the Armavir Radar Station located in Krasnodar Krai, Russia is now knocked-out.  Here are images of the two gigantic radar buildings at that radar site (Click on image TWICE to fully enlarge):

The map below shows where this particular station is:

Normally, the entire Russia early-warning radar system provides the coverage seen in the graphic below:

With the damage to the two radar stations at the Armavir Radar Station, there is now a GAPING HOLE in Russia's early-warning system against nuclear attack. 

Russia is now a sitting Duck for a nuclear first strike, not only against their Strategic Nuclear missile silos, but also against all the major population centers inside Russia.

Submarine launched nukes from the far eastern Mediterranean Sea, land-launched or even air-launched missiles from Turkey, from ISRAEL, Sub-launched missiles from the Red Sea, ALL can no longer be detected by Russia.  

The coverage map below is highlighted below to show the unimaginable scope of the GAPING HOLES.  

Of course, this is being credited to Ukraine, but the radar stations that were hit DO NOT COVER UKRAINE.  Clearly, this hit was concocted by the US/EU and NATO; they are the ONLY entities that benefit from this. (Correction: There is another beneficiary . . .  Israel . . .  can now launch ballistic or nuclear missiles at Iran, and Russia will not be able to warn Iran.)

Why would we do this?   Unless . . . . we're planning a nuclear first-strike upon Russia!

Worse Danger Now Than the "Cuban Missile Crisis"

Today's attack opens the door for a full, complete, and absolute DECAPITATION ATTACK upon Russia.  We can now hit ALL their strategic missile silos and take out ALL of their national government and they wouldn't even know the missiles had been launched until it was too late.

How long will the Russians wait - with themselves completely vulnerable-- before they have to decide to "Use them or Lose them?"  We may have just FORCED the Russians to launch a nuclear first-strike.

By any realistic measurement, this is now an "Existential Threat to the existence of Russia."     We could literally be like the song "On the Eve of Destruction!"

Notice too, this was done on the big "Memorial Day" holiday weekend here in the U.S.  Many Americans are traveling to the beach, to the mountains, away from home, away from all their money and preps.  

BASIC INFO ABOUT ARMAVIR RADAR STATION

Armavir Radar Station is an early warning radar station near Armavir in Krasnodar Krai, Russia. It is a key part of the Russian early warning system against missile attack and is run by the Russian Space Forces. There are two radars here - one faces south west and one south east. They provide radar coverage of the Middle East.  The satellite image below shows the station from above:

The station is located on the former Baronovsky Airfield  3 kilometres (1.9 mi) south west of the village of Glubokiy and 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) south west of Armavir.

The station was described as starting to operate at the end of 2006 and then entering "experimental combat mode" in 2008.

On the day in 2009 that Russia lost coverage from radars in Ukraine it was announced that it had "begun operations".

In May 2012 it was announced that it would go on combat duty before the end of 2012. In December 2012 it was announced it will be in the first quarter of 2013.

On 6 June 2013 it was commissioned by order of the President Vladimir Putin visiting the Central Command Post of the Russian Armed Forces.  There is a planned second segment, which will overlap zone of the Gabala radar station lost in Ukraine.

2013 ballistic launch in Mediterranean

On 3 September 2013 Armavir detected two US/Israeli ballistic test launches in the Mediterranean towards Syria.

Now, they can't detect those anymore.  Or our missile subs launching from the eastern Med, the Red Sea, The Gulf of Oman, or even south of the Horn of Africa off Somalia.  Russia are now sitting Ducks.

Hal Turner Snap Remarks

I earnestly hope you have taken my long urged advice to have Emergency food, water, medicine, a generator, fuel for it, communications gear like CB or HAM, and all the little emergency things you need like flashlights, batteries, portable radio with spare batteries, FIRST-AID KIT, gas grill or spare charcoal and lighter fluid, a manual can opener, and so on.  Looks to me like time is up.

From a western source

Ukraine launches major missile strike on key russian air defence sites in crimea, the overnight missile attack hit a key radar and air defence facility of the russian army 'where high-ranking officers were present' - and it is the latest in systematic attacks on the radar and air defence forces of the russian armed forces in crimea.

Ukraine has launched a significant missile assault on Russian-occupied Crimea during the night, targeting a crucial radar and air defence installation where it's believed high-ranking officers were present. The peninsula was rocked by explosions at ten different sites, with the intense bombardment involving long-range ATACMS missiles marking one of the most severe attacks of the conflict.

Russia has also reported the destruction of marine drones near Crimea's shores. Emergency vehicles were seen heading to Semidvorye, close to Alushta, where a communications and radar base of the Russian military was allegedly struck by at least six ATACMS ballistic missiles.

It's reported that the buildings hit were "where high-ranking military personnel of the Russian Armed Forces were located at that moment." These strikes are part of ongoing systematic assaults on Russian radar and air defence in Crimea, stripping Putin's forces of their ability to protect the annexed territory, reports the Mirror .

https://www.economist.com/europe/2024/05/24/natos-boss-wants-to-free-ukraine-to-strike-hard-inside-russia

Nato secretaries-general do not normally attack the policies of the alliance’s biggest and most important member country. But Jens Stoltenberg, whose ten-year stint in charge is coming to an end, has done just that. In an interview with The Economist on May 24th, he called on nato allies supplying weapons to Ukraine to end their prohibition on using them to strike military targets in Russia. Mr Stoltenberg’s clear, if unnamed, target was the policy maintained by Joe Biden, America’s president, of controlling what Ukraine can and cannot attack with American-supplied systems.

NATO ‘preparing for war’ with Russia – Orban

Hungary is reassessing its role within the bloc as it has no wish to take part in a conflict against moscow, the pm has said.

Hungary is reevaluating its r Member of British Parliament: "We are already at war with Russia; They won't tell the people until July or August"

Speaking on local Kossuth Radio, Orban stated that his country has already been relegated to the role of a non-participant within the US-led military bloc due to its stance on Ukraine, and Budapest is now working on legal ways to retain its membership but reserve the right to abstain from joining NATO operations it disagrees with.

“Hungary’s position must be redefined, our lawyers and officials are working on ways to allow Hungary to continue to exist as a NATO member without participating in NATO activities outside the bloc’s territory. We need to create a new approach, a new definition for our position as a pro-peace force within NATO,” Orban said.

According to the prime minister, there are “alarming similarities” between the emotionally charged media publications and statements by Western politicians regarding the Ukraine conflict and the atmosphere preceding the First and Second World Wars.

READ MORE: Blinken lobbying for strikes on Russia – NYT

“What is happening today in Brussels and Washington… looks like warming up for a possible direct military conflict. We can safely call it the preparation of Europe’s entry into the war,” Orban said, adding that there are working groups within NATO that are assessing the best ways for the bloc to further boost its participation in the conflict.

He warned that the end result of these actions could be a direct conflict between the EU, NATO, and Russia – a “grim prospect,” as the conflict would involve nuclear powers.

Member of British Parliament: "We are already at war with Russia; They won't tell the people until July or August"

British MP Andrew Bridgen confirming on a radio show today:

"We are actually at war with Russia now... They're not going to tell the people probably until July or August; maybe later."

"The whole thing's a pantomime in Parliament... It's not a race between the blue and the red team to see who crosses the finish line. This is a baton handover on all the big issues: Net Zero, Covid response, the WHO, the trans agenda."
