First Aid and Medical Supplies Preparedness Preparation: Where do I start preparing? How do I start preparing?

First Aid and Medical Supplies

Those are two commonly asked questions and both have merit. Look, it can seem like an overwhelming task; but with guidance and good information you will have no problems accomplishing your preparedness goals. Once you fill your tool box with the proper tools you will be on the road my friends; my job will be to give you those tools! Let’s get started!

First you have to find that starting point; what do you have on hand? Specifically in these areas: Tools, Food and Water Storage, First Aid and Medical Supplies, Personal Hygiene items, and the Junk Box. Today I will break down First Aid and Medical Supplies. Check back tomorrow for The Junk Box.


First aid items to look for and inventory; antiseptics, ointments, gauze pads, scissors, adhesive tape, ace bandages, instant cold packs, latex gloves, band aids, tweezers, and sting and bite kits. Personal Medical supplies; these are your prescription and over the counter medications, be sure to when inventorying these items you record there expiration dates, refills left, and refill dates, never let your medications run out you always want to refill them so you always have them on hand.
Remember the best time to learn your lesson about personal security, self defense and preparedness is before something happens.
