Parachute First Aid x Dave Shaw & The Hunters Club at the Sika Show!

We've got some massive news for all you hunting and outdoor enthusiasts!

Parachute First Aid is teaming up with the one and only Dave Shaw and the team from The Hunters Club at the 2025 Sika Show.
This is a partnership built on a shared passion for the New Zealand back country and a deep respect for the challenges it presents.
We’re joining forces to make sure that every hunter heading into the bush is not only inspired but, most importantly, prepared.

You’ll be able to find Dave & The Hunters Club team at Stand 319.

You can check out our purpose built Wilderness First Aid Kit, and Dave Shaw's books, filled with epic hunting tales.

Let's be honest: when you're deep in the back country, chasing that trophy stag or navigating rugged terrain, things can go wrong. And when they do, help isn't just minutes away—it can be hours or even days away.
In New Zealand, the most serious injuries for big game hunters come from: falls, carrying too much weight and cuts and infections.

This is where preparation becomes paramount. Having a proper first aid kit isn't just a "nice to have"; it's a non-negotiable piece of your core gear, just as critical as your rifle, boots, or PBL.

Stopping bleeding is the most crucial step, after ensuring the patient is breathing, which is why we include a Trauma bandage in all our Wilderness kits.  Make sure you open this up and learn how to use it (ideally with a practical course) before heading out into the hills.

As an option we have the Rapid Stop Tourniquet in our Wilderness PLUS kits. Again, open this up and learn how to use it! Unwrapping plastic in the middle of an emergency will only slow you down.

The most common hunting injuries in NZ are blisters, sprains, dehydration, stings, frostbite, cuts and chafing. Are you prepared for these?

You need a kit that is:
Comprehensive: Packed with supplies to handle significant trauma, not just minor scratches.
Purpose-Built: Designed for the specific injuries common in remote outdoor environments.
Reliable: Contains high-quality, durable gear that you can trust when you need it most.

At Parachute First Aid, this is what we do.
We equip you with the tools and supplies to manage a situation effectively, control an injury, and give you the critical time needed for help to arrive.
Investing in a good kit isn't just for you—it's for your mates, your family, and everyone who wants to see you return home safely from the hunt.
