Vehicular First Aid: Almost done but sharing anyway. (UPDATE)
I think I am going to add individual dose over the counter meds like Imodium, Tylenol and somebody mentioned Benadryl. But let me share what I have done;
MTM 30 Caliber Ammo Can. All of $9.99, waterproof, small enough not to be bulky and big enough to carry a lot of stuff. But I had to do some modifications to keep things in place more or less. After a “smart” use of glue gun and some spare kydex, I ended up with this:
Bandages and related on the left side and the rest on the right side. Those square things you see are four tin boxes ($6.99) to carry small items (one is full of bandaids) that could get misplaced or do not need to be bouncing around…and yes I stole that tip from the comments, thanks! I will properly label the cans so I don’t have to guess what is in which. And still leaves plenty space for other stuff which I fins myself needing to fill with something.
Something I always found missing in all kits and made a point to cover is a cutting instrument, preferably scissors/shears. It is annoying to cut stuff with your knife when you are bleeding and a downright pain in the ass when you have nothing, so I added a pair of trauma shears.
That is a bit of Kydex leftover molded to hold the shears and attached to the cover with hot glue. (UPDATE: Hot glue, Kydex and plastic do not work well together. Trying crazy glue before going mechanical fasteners)
The only thing missing is a sticker that screams FIRST AID! (coming soon) and that should do it. I have tape, modern merthiolate for disinfection, steristrips, Celox, bug bite ointment, rash cream and even ammonia ampules.
If there is something that you think I need in the boo-boo box, drop a comment.
PS: I added a eyeglass repair kit I da stashed away. Wee little thing even comes with a magnifying glass and I know I can’t drive or do several things without my glasses.
And my eye wash saline is expired. Gotta go to Wally world 😐
UPDATE: Crazy glue didn’t work either so I went with mechanical restraints.
