EEP!
I'll have to do some choosing, because I need it to fit under the passenger seat (I have a tiny car, and the trunk is already more than half full), but there's nothing here that isn't a good idea, even for me.
Maxipads as trauma dressings, yeah, I read about that!
Jim: I read and enjoyed your thread yesterday.
Great suggestions, all, I'm making notes.
Jim introduced another distinction between the boo-boo kit and the FAK. Jim's bag is like he said, for treating serious life threatening traumas, not for treating small boo boo scratches.
A lot of what is in most first aid kits is for boo-boos instead of hardcore trauma response.
It is an idea worth thinking about.
Maybe you could put the bulkiest stuff like extra bandaging and abdominal pads into a second bag.
If the bandage bag is soft it might be able to be stuffed into a odd space. It would still be handy in the car if you had to deal with broken limbs or serious bleeds.
Some of the other things like water you should have with you in your car anyhow, even if it is not in a FAK bag.
