First Aid Kit


I feel that if you have a first aid kit in your bug out bag, or EDC (every day carry) you should know whats in it and how to proporly us it. For my bug out bag I selected a 1-2 person 1.0 first aid kit which has basic medical supplies and survival tools. The colour of the first aid kit is red and black to make it easy to spot in or out of your bug out bag. This kit has a full zipper on it so it can fold out flat when opened. Once opened you have compartments on each side. In the first compartment you have 10 benzalkonium chloride wipes, these are used for cleaning your hands. Next you will find 2pkgs. of afterbite to releave the itch of insect bites. The next item in this side is a pair of nitrile gloves which should be worn any time you are giving first aid. The next three items did not come with this kit but I felt they made perfect sence to be included, and they are a travel size pkg. of Advil (10 tablets) travel size polysporin to protect from infection and numb away pain. And the last item that I added was a travel size vaseline to treat chapped lips or to add to cotton balls for a fire starter. The other side includes a tensor band, tweezers, white medical tape, three safety pins, two 2 inch sterile gauze pads, two 3 inch sterile non woven sponges, three easy access butter fly band aids, one large band-aid, blister cushions, 12 standard size easy access bandages, 3 small butter fly band aids, and one basic wound burn & blister care info sheet.
