ComputerGuy Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Farm Guad has a small assortment. I bought one for the basic ingredients and added other items to the zippered bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeb Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 You can put together your own kit and, most likely, it will be better than what you can purchase. You probably already have some of the needed items. I realize you asked where to purchase, however, in case you are open to the idea, here is a list I cut and pasted for you from an on line source. Basic First Aid Kit Checklist This is a checklist of things that should be in every first kit: First aid book — As with any piece of equipment you ever own, if you don’t know how to use the things in your first aid kit, they become useless. The difference here is, improper usage of the items on this first aid kit checklist could result directly or indirectly in death. Read the book, learn it, and practice it regularly. Variety sizes of adhesive bandages Small pair of sharp scissors Large gauze pads — You can cut these down to smaller sizes if necessary. Medical tape — Not box tape, duct tape, electrical tape or masking tape, although in a SHTF situation, those will do! Cotton balls Alcohol prep wipes — Useful for cleansing wound sites prior to bandaging. Also good for cleaning thermometers, scissors, tweezers, or any other piece of equipment so you don’t risk infection. Hydrogen peroxide Rubbing alcohol Antibiotic ointment Asprin, Ibuprofen, and/or Acetaminophen — Small packets or bottles, depending on what kit you are stocking. A thermometer — Oral for adults, rectal for infants — know the difference! Tweezers and a sewing needle for pulling out splinter Non-latex gloves — In case of blood, body fluids and dangerous waste; keep at least two pairs. Bandage rolls — Rolls of gauze bandage material. Sterile saline — Good for irrigating wounds, rinsing eyes, and as a nasal flush. CPR breathing mask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkshawn Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Any marine supply outlet has "Ditch Bags" some expensive, some not. Ditch means taking a step up to the dingy/life raft. Annual adjustments required depending on the depth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe then compare that list to the content of what you purchase--just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artlife Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 I would add benadryl to this list. It is helpful for bee and scorpion stings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I find that hard to understand as the first item shown is just a box, but the second, third, forth ate kits. Here is the second listing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
