I like two have two kinds of Medical/First Aid kits
1. Home First Aid Kit- This kit can be as extensive as you want because it is stationary. It should have everything you need to overcome any type of wound or sickness, or at least survive till better medical treatment can be found. It should also act as a re-supply unit for your smaller travel kit. Stock up on things like Hydrogen Peroxide, cold/fever medicine, and bandages.
2. Travel Med Kit- This kit is a light weight medical kit that you can carry with you should you have to bug out, or travel in search of supplies. There are some travel kits that you can buy or make your own. The problem with many medical kits are the bags. They are cheap and tear easily. They also have only one big pocket, no molle hook ups, and no shoulder strap for carry. I really like the "Voodoo Tactical M3 Medic bag
A medical kit should contain enough supplies to treat any common wound. It should also have enough dressings and bandages for at least seven days. There are all kinds of medical kits out there that are already put together and I recommend that you buy one at least to get you started. If you buy a kit, then you can always add more to it as you get the money. It will also allow you to customize the kit to your liking.
Once you have a good basic medical kit, begin to add supplies to fit personal needs. If you have bad allergies then add allergy medicine, or seizure medication if you have seizures. If you have children then include things like children's Tylenol or children's cold medicine. Try to take notice of what kind of medicines you go through the most and put back some of that type. Also remember to cycle out your stock as most medicines have a shelf life.
