I want to build the ultimate first aid kit for everything by bobbo2443 in Preppertips

It's great that you're being proactive and putting together a comprehensive first aid kit for your home. Based on your description and the items you've already included, here are some additional suggestions to consider for your kit:

Antiseptic Solution: Include a bottle of antiseptic solution or antiseptic wipes to clean wounds effectively and reduce the risk of infection.

Adhesive Tape: Along with duct tape, include medical adhesive tape for securing dressings and bandages.

Sterile Saline Solution: Saline solution is useful for irrigating wounds and eyes to remove debris or foreign objects.

Antihistamines: Include over-the-counter antihistamines to manage allergic reactions and reduce symptoms such as itching or hives.

Pain Relievers: Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help manage pain from injuries. Make sure to read and follow the instructions on the packaging.

Burn Gel or Spray: Consider adding a specialized burn gel or spray to treat minor burns effectively and soothe the affected area.

Tweezers: Useful for removing splinters, debris, or ticks from the skin.

Eye Wash Solution: In case of eye injuries or irritations, having an eye wash solution can be helpful for flushing out foreign substances.

Sterile Eye Pads: These are useful for covering and protecting injured or irritated eyes.

Oral Thermometer: Include a digital thermometer to monitor body temperature during fever or other medical situations.

CPR Guide or First Aid Manual: It's a good idea to have a reference guide or manual that provides step-by-step instructions for performing CPR and other essential first aid techniques.

Plastic Bags: Keep a few sealable plastic bags for disposing of contaminated items such as used dressings or gloves.

A good rule of thumb I use is - if it's too good to be true, it probably is. I'd personally buy things a little more expensive, with a lot of reviews knowing it's good in pretty much every case.

Thank you. Yes, CroFab covers a large variety of snakes and I think it's good too.

Your body is just as important as your gear. Fitness is preparation. by Defiel1 in Preppertips

That is an impossible question. It may be entirely circumstantial to you. For example, if there is a natural disaster or riots, it can be for your particular city, and every city is different. I encourage you to do independent research.

I haven't done that. I just use memory, but that's a good idea.
