Your question is essentially about the labels one should attach to items that often come in handy just about everywhere. <br><br>When I am outdoors, I always carry first aid supplies and a "survival kit," that is basically the classical ten (now actually up to about fourteen) essentials. Since the items within my survival kit, like the compass and headlamp, are the items I regularly use, the answer to the expedition doctor's query would be - "I use the items in my survival kit a lot" As a matter of convenience, visibility, and access, I pack the first aid kit in a separate container. The contents of the two kits, each about the size of a fist, are augmented with additional material depending upon circumstances. My main first aid kit, BTW, I keep in the car. I figure I am most likely to need it when travelling, and it is readily available around the house if I need it there. Used it this way two weeks ago when a worker fell off my neighbor's roof.
