These Items Should Be in Every First Aid Kit

  • Don't Leave Home Without It!

    Most of us have at least a basic first kit, stock with items like bandages, antiseptic and other essential items. Unfortunately, however, too many of us leave it at that, and then find ourselves without very specific items we need to address a medical or health crisis, whether it's a flare-up of a chronic condition, or an injury that requires prompt medical treatment. Whether you're putting together a first aid kit before heading out into the woods for a weekend of camping, or you're creating a “bug out” first aid kit in the event of a SHTF moment, we have the exhaustive list of what you need to include.

    A good first aid kit includes not just the obvious items such as band-aids or peroxide, but also items that will allow you to administer basic emergency medical care until you can make it to a doctor or hospital. You also need to consider your own health situation. If you know you're allergic to something, for example, you should always carry an EpiPen.
