I might add a basic instruction book/ sheet for others to use. More gloves.
A basic light or two. Notebook, pen.

I wonder where I could find a basic 1st aid phamplet or booklet? There is a pen and I can always write on the triage tags in the kit. I have multiple lights in the car and EDC a light, but putting another in the kit is a good idea, thanks.

Well still it's a bit of a stupid question. I thought you actually used it to treat someone instead of breaking a window.


Well, I guess I could use it to make a nice cricoid puncture for an airway. ;-)

Not bad Jeff. I'd personally have a few more gauze rolls, or a few of the fluffier "Kerlix" ones in addition to the ones you already have. I find they can take the place of a handful of 4x4s for the big bleeders.

I missed if you have tape. If not, maybe some would be prudent.

As much as I hate to admit it, bandaids can come in handy. I found that out last week after slicing my finger enough to bleed for 20 minutes, but not enough to waste a 4x4 on. Go figure.

Band-aids. Carry a bunch - they're light and useful.
( after meds they are the item that most often needs to be refilled)

Band-aids ride along in the wallet/purse so that you don't even have to resort to the FAK for the easy ones..........
