First Aid Kit Tips
 

  • Make sure the items are in a waterproof container.  When wet, your kit can become useless instantly! Zip lock the kit again just to make sure.
     

  • Break up the kit into different compartments as shown below. I break my things up into separate ziplock bags within the case. It allows me to grab a particular category easily. You may add color code tags on the top of your bags as well.  Adventure Medical is a good base kit, but no one kit is complete or made for all your needs when you buy it.
