I went through the FAK threads from 2009 and there is no way I am going to carry a toiletry sized bag of first aid items in my EDC. I have a fairly comprehensive purchased kit in my car and a AMK (Adventure Medical Kit) for backpacking. I am looking to add some items to my EDC rather than buy another kit.

So here is what I do carry EDC and it is admittedly incomplete:

latex gloves
sm. bottle of hand-san
6 pepto-bismo pills
6 ibuprofen
6 Tylenol
6 benadryl
anti itch spray
sm. Vaseline for lips (chapped lips & anti chaff)
small pointed tip tweezers
several assorted bandaids
vial iodine
several cough drops
indiv. pouch of electrolyte replacement
small sun screen

Look. This is stuff that might be needed for me or someone I run into on a DAILY basis in a civilized setting. It weighs about 5 oz. (minus the hand-san which is clipped to the outside of my backpack that I EDC.)

MY QUESTION TO YOU IS: IF YOU WOULD ADD 1 OR 2 ITEMS TO MY FAK WHAT WOULD YOU ADD? That item might already be in my normal EDC kit, like a bandanna or what might be found on my Leatherman.

By comparison what did you carry yesterday when you were at the grocery store or the kids ballgame, just living your life. Something, nothing, similar to mine?

I think this new thread will be helpful to those of us who feel their EDC FAK is incomplete.
