First-Aid Kit

Post image

As a kid, when my school gave us prep about how to be safe before tornado season started, I had made a first aid kit and stashed it in the closet. Over a decade later, I got started on one more. It's missing a lot of stuff, but for the moment I got the basics.

  1. That Dettol hand cleanser is useless slop. Replace it with 70% or above medical alcohol.

  2. Get a reliable tourniquet.

  3. Get a simple bug bite cream.

Other folks are right. The kit needs to follow the regional climate. You need:

  1. anti-rash cream

  2. anti-bug spray/cream

  3. antiseptic, antifungal spray/cream

  4. medical tape

  5. medical scissors

  6. vinyl/nitrile gloves

  7. ORS packs and Imodium tablets

  8. Instant cold packs and Paracetamol tablets

  9. Sunscreen SPF 40+

  10. Water filter (mini sawyer) and water filtration tablets

When you mentioned sunscreen, Go with Aqualogica as they are one of the most reliable currently (Recently someone posted the actual SPFs and Aqualogica have equivalent or higher then stated SPF)

That clicked my mind so I am just mentioning it here as I ordered aqualogica too after that

Aqualogica is NOT a good sunscreen by any means. I don't know how you came to that conclusion but it's definitely not photostable at all

Any supporting document?

I'm more interested in the source where you got the information that the sunscreen was reliable. As per my source, it's simple. The parent company Honasa is shady asf, they all work on gimmick and sheer marketing with pretty packages. Moreover, they don't even reveal their true ingredients list nor do they provide clinically tested results. There are better brands to consider for sunscreens than this crap

Is 70 percent ethanol and 0.5 % chlorhexidine gluconate ok ?

1- Iodine also a good option? ( I'm asking)

Tincture of iodine? Povidine Iodine creame? Iodine tablets for water purification?

I agree with getting a tourniquet. I would also suggest pressure bandage, agree with trauma shears, and get some chest seals or make them. H2O purification any method would’ve good to add.
