I'm a big believer in modern medicine. Everyone should have a basic first aid kit. It can be confusing to know what the kit should include. Here's a list to get you started. 25 adhesive bandages (assorted sizes) 5 antibiotic ointment packets (approximately 1 gram) 5 antiseptic wipe packets 1 blanket (space blanket) 2 pair of non-latex gloves (large) Scissors Tweezers 5 sterile gauze pads (4 x 4 inches) 1 breathing barrier (with one-way valve) 1 instant cold compress packet of pain reliever (advil, asprin, tylenol, ibuprofen)
