FAQ
Common questions about this kit
Tourniquet in a home kit?
Yes — for uncontrolled limb bleeding, a tourniquet applied early and tight saves a life where pressure cannot. Learn to place one (high and tight, time-marked); "stop the bleed" is a 1-hour course.
Build or buy?
Build from a quality list — commercial kits skimp on the trauma side and over-stuff band-aids. A custom kit in a labeled, waterproof case you know inside-out beats a mystery box every time.
Check it yearly?
Yes — medications expire, adhesives dry out, and you forget what is there. A yearly inventory (set a calendar reminder) keeps the kit real when you need it.
Take a course?
Yes — a wilderness or "stop the bleed" first-aid course turns the kit from a box of stuff into a tool you can use. Gear without training is decoration.

First-aid kit and my go-bag share the build-it-and-take-a-course gospel — a tourniquet high-and-tight and stop-the-bleed training is the seatbelt of the kit. Check it yearly, agreed.
