We keep a basic first aid kit for use in the house that's packed in a back pack if we need to get out fast so we can take it with us in an
emergency.
Here's the bag we use and it weighs about 10-12 lbs.
Here's a picture of most of the contents.
From top to bottom and left to right the contents are:
Top Row
Strip bandages
Wound packing or covers
Elastic bandage
Stitching kit with scalpels, needles, thread, scissors, etc....
Hydrogen peroxide
Isopropyl alcohol
Q-tips, absorbent pads, cotton balls
Next Row
Thermal reflective blanket
Injection needles
Irrigation syringe
Asst. needles & pins
Hand sanitizer and alcohol wipes
Mild sedative
Iodine
Super Glue
Boric acid
Infazinc
Acetaminophen 650 mg
Row Three
Vaseline
Matches (strike anywhere)
Latex & plastic gloves
Barrier cream
Calamine lotion
Nail polish remover
Tampons and pads (they stop bleeding in more than one way)
Last Line
Surgical masks
Small bandages
Water
Doggy mask for kids (a child in distress loses all vision except line of sight when wearing the mask and they can't see what may be going on around
them in a bloody situation. It can really help focus their attention)
The kit also has a couple towels, wet naps, a few prescription items, a small bottle of Whiskey and topical anesthetic.
The contents are water proof to the point that you could swim a river and the inside stays dry.
Over all it's a good kit for emergencies, but if you have any suggestions on what I could add please let me know.
Keep in mind that I don't have a lot of room in the bag to add much more...
