I found this and thought it was useful.
A First Aid Kit should always be carried in your vehicle.
Commercial 'Auto' first aid kits are minimal. Because of the possible severity & extent of offroad injuries, you should supplement commercial first aid kits. Consult the list below for additional items.
- find a sturdy container with organizing pockets or compartments, waterproof container preferred
- mark the container & compartments clearly (individual items or like items can be placed in individual ziplock bags)
- find an easily accessible location in your vehicle & secure the first aid kit
! Learn basic CPR and First Aid !
*
many of the items that make up a good first aid kit can be found around the home
*
35mm film canisters make good containers for pills, tablets, gel caps, etc.
*
items can be found in department stores, drug stores, sporting goods stores, recreation outlets, army surplus stores & medical supply stores
*
you'll have determine which items and the quantities required based upon your own first aid skills, offroad experience, and the specific demands of any specific trip
*
NOTE: WalMartŪ sells a First Aid Kit (by Total Resources InternationalŪ) with 201 items in a soft-sided multi-compartment organizer hanger bag (~$18) that is pretty well stocked (contents are marked with an "●" in the following list) I like this one because it has both carry handles and a carry strap and it is well organized. I carry these (with additional items from the list below) in our vehicles.
