How to make your own medical kit
I,ve seen these kits on the net going from £65.00 up to £365

The one for around £65.00 has this :
•1 Mini AM/FM wind-up radio with LED torch
•1 Wind-up LED torch
•1 Emergency drinking water ration 500ml
•1 Emergency food ration biscuits 2500Kcal
•2 Emergency light stick military grade
•1 Emergency sleeping bag
•1 Foil thermal blanket
•1 Emergency whistle
•1 Disposable mask
•1 Compact First Aid Kit
•1 Notebook and pencil
•1 Re-sealable bag
•10 Water purification tablets
•1 Rucksack with photoluminescent text

I can buy this equipment for around £25 And a few quid for a rucksack out of the local charity shops .

I want more of the Emergency equipment in my rucksacks but to get that pre-packed its going to be up around the £150-200 mark if I buy on the net.

So I decided I,m going make my own Emergency kit

The kit will be for 1 person and must last a good few months if posible untill we adapt to use things like the inner of the bark of a tree for healing !

It will be a seperate kit we each carry for accidents and health problems,nothing to do with food or water,no lights or batteries,no water tablets no lighters etc just full on 1st aid accident and health kit.

So guys what do I need in my kit ?

Perhaps we should make some of these things ourselves and sell them between us. Who can get cheap medical stuff?

SD, I do not recommend selling things for if you are caught you will have VAT to pay and probably there will be other problems such as paying business rates, as you are using your home as a business. Barter will be a far better method. As I understand it barter is not business in the normal sense. I am sure they know all about the site already and are watching for false moves made by members.

Ken,

Barter is still liable for tax from what I can understand. The thieving tax people will always want a cut as they need it to stave off the inevitable time when the music stops.

We can still sell things to eat other.Just don't make it a business.

RE: How to make your own medical kit
Hello SD, I did not know that barter was taxable so we can try selling to each other. I have a good stock of Homoeopathic medicines and a much lesser amount of Herbal medicine so if anyone would require any of these, I would sell or barter to them. However, soon I am sure they will be able to make there own. Herbal information coming soon and some Herbal Pharmacy. Any advice I can offer is free. I belong to a school of Herbal medicine that Believes that if you accept money for treatment, the treatment will not work. Kenneth Eames.
