First Aid Kit Requirements: What Should Be in a First Aid Kit?

You may have a first-aid kit, but do you know how to use what's inside?

Does your first aid kit actually save lives? Most kits are packed with bandaids and nothing that helps in a real emergency. You should have a tourniquet that actually works, a pressure bandage, chest seals, rolled gauze for wound packing, gloves, trauma shears, space for meds, and a marker for tourniquet time. Add medical tape, a headlamp, and a permanent sharp object like a seatbelt cutter. A kit is only useful if it solves the big killers: bleeding, airway problems, and breathing issues. Comme
