The list below outlines the essential items I intend to include in my first aid kit and the bag I plan to store. I have considered all the required items while traveling or away from home, not just for myself but also for others. For instance, there were two instances in which someone else required Ibuprofen, and there was one instance where I needed an ice pack. However, considering the bulkiness of an ice pack, it would be impractical to carry it daily, so I am open to suggestions for lighter-weight alternatives. I sincerely hope that everything else on my list will fit into the bag, but I am open to any suggestions you may have.
