Contents packed in an old Q-Tip container:

  • 1 Sterile pad, 2 inches by 2 inches
  • About 2 feet of medical tape, flattened out to fit
  • 1 large bandage
  • 2 average size bandages
  • 2 mini bandages
  • 1 Antiseptic towelette
  • 3 Alcohol prep pads
  • 1 packet of triple antibiotic ointment
  • 1 dose packet of aspirin
  • 1 dose packet of acetaminophen
  • 1 dose packet of benadryl
  • 2 chewable pepto bismol tablets
  • 1 packet of BC powder

I think that’s everything I put in there anyways, hopefully nobody ever needs to use it, but it’s destined to go in our glove box.

Edited because I just added 2 sealed pepto bismol tablets, because why not, they fit neatly in there too.

Edit 2: I added a packet of BC powder. Aside from the typical headache or body pain, they’re also good as a fever reducer.

Edit 3: I added 2 additional alcohol prep pads for a total of 3, easy fit.

    Oh, to add on, yeah apparently BC powder is more of an America thing, but back when I was 19 years old, I suffered a bad fever for like 2 weeks. I didn’t want my brain fried, so my dad told me that BC powder isn’t only good for headaches, but also acts as a fever reducer.

    So, at age 19 I basically lived on pizza rolls and BC powder for like 2 weeks, to keep my temperature under 104⁰ F

    Obviously my kit ain’t gonna keep anyone alive for 2 weeks, but as a first aid kit, I hope nobody has to ever use it…
