 ====== First Aid Kit ======
-Where ever you go, packing a **first aid kit** is important, as is knowing some basic first aid in case of an emergency. Sometimes a simple untreated cut is all it takes to turn a thrilling adventure into a draining slog.

-A properly stocked first aid kit is extremely cheap peace of mind to have around. You //can// purchase complete ready-made kits, but it will be more useful to you create your own //(for example: Many ready-made kits have latex gloves, so people with latex allergies would have a latex-free kit with nitrile or vinyl gloves)//.

 It is not hard to build your own first aid kit. It is basically a combination of two things: The **components** and the **case**.

 ==== Portable First Aid Kits ====
-Most of you building first aid kits will probably be taking them out into the field, or leaving them in your cars. In this case you will want something **portable**. Any simple pouch will do. A //Crown Royal// bag would work. A zippered canvas pouch with [[gear:pals|tactical webbing]] is perfect. There are [[https://search.brave.com/search?q=empty+molle+first+aid+pouch|numerous results online]] for pouches of all shapes and sizes with complimentary first aid patches. Some of them come with intermediary "rip away" panels, that allow them to be quickly detached from your backpack without having to undo the PALS/MOLLE straps.

-You will want to keep the case sorted, so that you are not emptying the entire thing out during emergencies trying to find one thing you need. Basic organization in advance //(Band aids kept together in one spot, creams in another, etc)// helps reduce a lot of aggravation on the field. Some pouches might have internal compartments or slots to put things. Others might be a big open space. Partitioning pouch interiors is easily accomplished with a series of smaller (and thinner) pouches.

Basic organization in advance //(Band aids kept together in one spot, creams in another, etc)// helps reduce a lot of aggravation on the field. Some pouches might have internal compartments or slots to put things. Others might just be a big open space that quickly becomes a bottomless void. Forcing those voids to abide by set structure & boundaries is easily accomplished with a series of smaller (and thinner) pouches.
