First Aid Kits

[shortie]

I needed a band aide out of my first aid kit last week. Went to the kit. OVer many years it had been raided mant times for bits and pieces.

Decided o do a stock take and was surprised at what i found.

Almost everything that had a use by date had expired. Were bits and pieces missing. It would of been useless in an emergency.

So i bit the bullet and went and purchased a new 1.

What i bought is probabally an overkill for most people. So this is just a wake up call for you guyts to check yours.

My new 1, is a very very good household/kid/camping/boating type kit.

MY old 1 is being refilled. It will remain at home and the new 1 will go in whatever vehicle im using at the time.

yup haha....

for bandaids which are expired I just use em anyway.

doesnt really make much difference for me as disinfectant would kill the germs

I have been looking at these http://www.rsea.com.au/stock/item/670571 they are half price at the moment. They look like a good deal. Definitely worth checking the kit regularly its the usual story you only find there is a problem when you need it most.

I didn't know that bandaids expired, if thats the case then im in abit of trouble.

I have 2 first aid kits, 1 is a portable that i take fishing and bushwalking every time, and the other one is a nice big one that i use for either home or camping, I tend to do a little audit of the big one about once every 2 months, I don't audit the small one as what i take from that, i move from the big one over.
