A Sturdy First Aid Kit
According to Ready.gov - the National Service for Disaster Preparedness - a first aid kit is, alongside food and water, the most important part of a survival kit, and the best kind of kit is an extensive and well-equipped one.
The absolutely essential medical supplies you want your emergency bag equipped with are:
- Tweezers
- Antiseptic
- Wipes
- Burn Dressing
- Triangular Bandage
- Trauma Shears
- Mouth-Mouth Resuscitation Device
- First-Aid Tape Roll
- Emergency Heat Reflective Blanket
- Emergency Rain Poncho
- Adhesive Wound Dressing
- Band-Aids
- Elastic Gauze Roll
- Glow Sticks
- Sterile Gauze Pads
- Alcohol Pads
- Soap Wipes
- Sting Relief Wipes
- Disposable Gloves
- Cotton Swabs
- Cotton Balls
These are the things that will make the difference between life and death in case of illness or injury, but it’s equally as important to know how to use this equipment, so make sure you take a course if you’re not already first-aid certified.
