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’ve clearly never worked with superglue then.
Last night I had to use a rasp file to file superglue off of my fingers, because the tube busted on me when trying to open it.
Note that I didn’t say I filed my fingernails, I literally had to file my fingers, using a rasp file meant for wood no less.
I ain’t trying to test and see if everything in an emergency kit might get glued together…
Maybe I have, used for moderate lacerations, and I don’t suck? Maybe.
I’ve used superglue on myself before too, check my recent comments.
Point is, it ain’t gonna store well in a vehicle glovebox. Not good for storage in a first aid kit, you want stuff that can last a few years or more…
This depends on where you live. New Hampshire, you’re fine. Death Valley you have a point, but then I would trade cyanoacrylate for water.
South Mississippi here. I can usually find a store with super glue somewhere within a half mile radius of my area, in the meantime I can use the bandages or 2x2 inch pad and tape until I get to a store.
But yeah you’re right, smaller first aid kits and survival kits are best arranged depending on the location and more common risks and needs.
Miss? You’ve got bigger problems than first aid.
Agreed ☹️
