What Should A First Aid Kit Contain?

Great advice. Having a first aid kit in my car allowed me to get out of a situation which would have made me feel uncomfortable without feeling guilty. Once when I got out of my car a man I did not know came up to me holding his and which was bleeding very rapidly. He said he was a gardener and had cut his hand and asked my to drive him to emergency (about 5 blocks away). I did not want to have a man I did not know in my car with me alone, however I wanted to help out someone in urgent need.

Being the trusty Girl Guide I am, I whipped out the first aid kit from the car (I have a small one in my handbag too) and wrapped up his hand. He was then happy to call a taxi to go to the hospital. Had I not have had my first aid kit, I would have been in a situation where I would have had to have chosen between my safety and someone else's. Fortunately, I didn't have to make that decision. Being Prepared is a good idea!

Thanks for a great article.

Great advice there Jess,

I have been thinking about this recently myself and wouldn't mind doing my first aid at least then i know if something happened to one of the kids i would know what to.

Take care ,Leah
