First Aid

>>816818

Some of that stuff just seems unnecessary or you would probably be better off finding an alternative. In an average first aid kit I tend to consider everything but duct tape and some random antiseptic goo to be surplus because you can always do without the other stuff in a pinch. So while fancy bandages and Woundseal powder are nice you should keep in mind that they're luxuries when considering your storage space and budget. The candles also seem like a waste to me but it's whatever, I prefer an actual flashlight or even a crank flashlight if you're worried about batteries.

I don't know what those Mainstay drinking water things are but they seem super expensive. For less money you can get both a Swayer filter and a bottle of some purification tablets. Now you have two methods of securing clean water instead of whatever that is.

No BOB is complete without at least 200 feet of paracord, 2 pocket knives, 1 fixed blade, a 9mm with 3 boxes of ammunition, a hatchet, at least a days worth of MRE's.

How about this?

For my personal first aid kit, I have gauze pads, gauze swabs, primapore dressings, a crepe bandage, triangular bandage, steristrips, butterfly closures, leukofix tape, bandaids, nitrile gloves and a couple steritubes of normal saline. And a pair of shears.

Extras I'd include for a home emergency/trauma/hurricane/BoB kit are emergency blankets, cling wrap, instant icepack, chlorhexidine, combine dressing pads, trauma bandage, and extra triangular/crepe/conforming bandages. An extra pair of shears, scissors and tweezers is also useful.

Normale saline is for wound irrigation and chlorhexidine is for cleaning the surrounding area. Betadine also works for cleaning the surrounding area. Also, keep a bottle of hand sanitiser.

Good, but I'd add a triangular bandage and a crepe bandage.

I'd get some trauma shears.
