Basic Homemade First Aid Kits

These little guys can be very handy when you're on the road or out getting into trouble. They are basic and will serve to help a great deal in giving first aid until the victim can be attended by professionals with better equipment. Tailor your own kit to your needs, and don't forget to wear a reliable watch with a seconds timer and carry a good small light.
















Personal:
Three Altiods tins with rubber bands.
Scissors, small
First aid tape, wrapped around playing card.
Gauze wrap.
Several pair of disposable gloves
One tube of unopened superglue.
Alcohol swabs.
Variet of band aids.
Magnifier card.
Bag of neosporin.
Pill box, aspirin and Aleve (naproxin pain relief, NSAID)

Since the pics were taken I've added in a small bottle of Iodine and three zipped cell phone pouches to keep the tins organized in a bag or on a belt.




















Larger:
This one supplements the smaller kit.

One netbook tote bag.
Bandage sheers.
More gauze wrap.
More first aid tape.
Trauma bandage.
Pressure bandage.
Gauze pads.
Trauma
Stethascope and blood pressure cuff.
Thermometer.
Large bottle of Iodine.

I've also added a small first aid guide to the larger kit.

In the summer I supplement it with a bottle of water and bug spray.
