Let’s Build a Survival Kit(Part 4) – First Aid

We’re going to have some fun designing and building a survival kit together. Here is Part 4 in the series where each week we will vote on a new item to add to the kit and see the results from the previous week.

Back when I first got involved in preparedness there were lots of discussions about “survival kits.” Nowadays, there are INCH bags, Bug Out bags, Get Home bags, and many more. I may be a bit old school but I’m going back to my roots and survival kit it is.

Here’s the bag we started with: The Paratus 3-Day Operator’s Pack. The Paratus is a popular pack and often considered the “Prepper’s Backpack” as it is high quality, rugged, extremely versatile, and budget-friendly. Cost is phenomenal at well under $100.

Here’s what we’re going to do. Every week(or so) I’ll post a category of products along with several choices to choose from. Everyone will vote on which items to put in the bag. When the voting is over I’ll buy the selected item and add it to the bag. With each new week, I’ll update what we’ve put in the bag until the kit is completed.

LAST WEEK: Last week we looked at adding some food. Two items were selected including a pouch of Mountain House Chili Mac and a pack of Emergency 3600-Calorie Ration Bars.

THIS WEEK: We’ve got the bag, a water filter, a knife, a bit of food – so now let’s take a look at another category of survival gear: First Aid

Vote below to chose which FIVE first aid items need to go in the bag. Now – I am in development with a couple companies to put together a 1776 Minuteman IFAK(individual first aid kit) and offer it in my survival store. Until released – we will vote on and put a few items in this survival kit.

Take care all –
