After looking around for a heavy duty first aid kit that would work well for car accidents and/or gunshot wounds, I decided to make my own customized first aid kit. It all fits in a plastic Tupperware box the size of a toaster.
It contains the following:
An unopened package of 2 flour sack towels to use as slings or wound dressings.
4 unopened surgical dressing packs which are the size of ladies' tampons.
4 unopened elastic bandages large enough to enclose a torso wound.
1 unopened box of 10 extra large adhesive bandaids.
1 unopened packet of wet wipes.
1 pair of tweezers and 1 pair of scissors.
1 roll of white surgical tape and 1 small roll of duct tape.
2 adjustable dog collars that can be used at tourniquets for legs or arms.
1 pair of plastic surgical gloves.
1 folded kitchen towel to wipe off with.
I keep this with me in my car all the time, in case I come across someone on the road who needs medical first aid help, and everywhere my car goes, such as camping, to the shooting range, etc.
If I can get to my car, then I know my first aid kit is there when I need it.
I learned in military first aid training that the first step is to stop the bleeding. This first aid kit will help me do that.
