++ Your First AID Kit ++

I understand First Aid is becoming a popular topic here, and that's a good thing. I would suggest people put up pictures and/or descriptions of their kits and everyone else can rate them. TFisher is knowledgeable in this area and can help us out to keep us safer than we were before. I got a kit myself and its pretty well stocked but I doubt its got everything, and thats why i'm going to post it here later too.

That is a good idea, also you could throw in a small piece of paper so the pen/pencil could be used to get info from the patient (if it wasn't you that was hurt) like past medical history, phone numbers to call, last meal ate, what happened, everything down the line. That would allow you to have a better sense of what went on and also gives them something to do other than look at what happened to them. Thanks!

I'd say there's more than enough there. Very Happy

It's pretty basic. But it has more than the .3(tweezers added), and the .7 doesn't have much more than the .5, so I settled on this one. Cool

Any cuts, scratches, or other small injuries will be well taken care of. Very Happy
