Hi Stacy,
I did purchase an Epi-Safe to have on camp last summer (we weren’t open for full camp but we did host a few small private groups.) Honestly, I was also concerned for bee stings among staff, etc. I was the only nurse on camp, along with 1 WFR so training wasn’t a big issue for us.
Luckily, I did not ever have to use the device but I thought it was a good stand by for those who are appropriately trained and/or certified to give. It was a good value (versus an auto injector.) and was self-contained with very simple instructions. You do have to draw up so not as simple as what you seem to be describing with the Symjepi.
I intend to purchase a few more to have as our Health Center stock for this season. In our practice we would only have it for us under the direction of the physician in the Health Center. We usually send the auto-infectors on our trips–but we aren’t really doing any far “back-country” trips, either.
