They only do that in certain areas now. I tried getting some up here. They didn't want any details previously but as soon as I found out they discountinued it.

Take advantage while you can.

Yes - as a trained first aider I have been doing/tweeking two first aid kits a big version for bug in and smaller version for bug out.

The main thing I put in BOTH kits are current meds. You never know what's round the corner, even a potential fire in your home, so if I need to grab by bug out bag in the middle of the night from a fire, I know I have my immediate meds in my bug out first aid kit.

They can't use stuff after te expiration on bandages etc. thy replaced all te old first aid kits with new ones so I bagged myself a nice old looking tin box fold out that smells great. It's full o bandages. I just need to Put a tin foil lanky and some knife blades in there and it's pretty much done

Sorry my last reply hasn't come out right
My kits a bit sad at the moment but I'm adding to it slowly, I have my basics plasters, bandages etc. I am thinking of foot powders or sprays don't know what others think any input helpful

foot powder is good, have you seen the sports bandages that tennis players use,

- Premium Kinesiology Tape
- Relieves pain and inflammation
- Improves blood flow
- Assists recovery
it looks a good thing to add in a kit if you have to walk to get the hell out of somewhere fast carrying a bug out bag. As i dont drive, and would be walking or cycleing to get anywhere it would be of use. i'm thinking if something big happens people will be trying to get into the countryside. so rioads will be gridlocked
