Medical Kits: Keep It Purpose-Driven
Don’t buy generic kits. Build your own to match the job.
1. Match the Kit to the Scenario
Car kit: Major trauma, accidents, full-size bag
Hiking kit: Bleeding, blisters, light meds, compact
Home kit: Long-term care, illness, prescriptions
2. Use a Tiered System
Small kit: On-body, stops bleeding fast
Medium kit: Backpack, deeper care
Large kit: Vehicle or home, full resupply

Kids = Band-Aids, fever meds
Adults = Trauma supplies, pain relief
Elderly = Prescriptions, monitoring tools

Build for likely injuries—driving, hiking, farming, etc.
