This is a list of items I would like to have in my ideal first aid kit (separate from my emergency food/water supply). This list is subject to change as I think of more items, of course; in addition, I would like at least 10 of most of the larger items and at least 50 of most of the smaller ones. Now, I just need to find a place to store it...

Bags of NS, D5, LR, etc.
Aspirin, Tylenol, Ibuprofen
Various laxatives
4X4 gauze pads
2X2 gauze pads
Wound cleanser solution in spray bottle
Bandage scissors
Paper and plastic medical tape
Kerlix rolls
Coban rolls
Conform rolls
Non-adherent pads in several sizes
ABD pads in several sizes
Tegaderm in various sizes
Duoderm in various sizes
Cotton-tipped applicators
Sterile fields
Sterile gloves
Triple antibiotic ointment

Can you even really get IV start kits to just have on hand? It doesn't seem like the type of thing you can pick up "just in case." :-)

Remind me to be around you when a disaster strikes! =)
A first aid kit? Me think this to be the contents of a small ambulance.
