I ask this because I just finished packing a pocket sized mini first aid kit, using supplies from our full size home kit. I’m sure people will mostly agree with the contents I packed, but does anyone have any other suggestions?
This is the kit I packed today, should I try to add anything else? There’s not much space left, but I can probably stuff a couple other flat packet items in there, so am I like missing anything obvious that might fit?
You’re like 90℅ of the way there to the mini kit I packed, check the link I posted.
The container I packed is rather limited in size, so I basically only packed flat-pack items. So no tweezers and no liquid bandage (which is basically super glue).
Sadly our full size home first aid kit only has one packet of burn treatment gel, so I decided to leave that in the home kit, as I figure burns are more probable at home in the kitchen, especially given my roommate’s childhood kitchen injury that burned over a quarter of his back.
I highly recommend getting a set of nice tweezers in there if you can. I use mine way too fucking much. It’s necessary for things like splinters and ticks, and overall just very useful for various reasons.
I forgot to add, Benadryl is a good thing to have as well in case of allergic reactions. Also keep some emergency contacts in there.
