What's in YOUR Kit?My kit travels and grows with me
- I have a general military tactical bag packed with First Aid supplies. I've started with a small plastic box with bandaids and added pieces to it as I had to handle more medical cases. I usually log the bag around with me.

Do Band-aids Count?
- I have a pre-packaged "first aid kit" that I think I got as a free gift with something else I purchased....or maybe it came with my car. I'm not sure if it once contained more things that have since gotten lost, but as of now, all it has is a bunch of Band-aids and some ipecac syrup.

I don't!
- I don't keep one in my car, but I would really like to. I was in a situation last year where I was rendering aid at the site of a car accident and I thought I was going to have to perform rescue breathing the old school way--mouth to mouth. I'd like to have a basic first aid kit that includes a way to protect myself if I ever have to give "mouth to mouth" in an emergency.

Boat Emergency Essentials
- We spend a lot of time on our sailboat. At the beginning of each season I make sure that the first aid kit has bandaids, pain/fever medication, and antibiotic cream. This way I know we will be all set should an emergency arise while under way.
