First Aid Kit

Prior to the modern age of medicine, relatively minor wounds led to death far more often than you would imagine. In wartime just 150 years ago, far more soldiers died from sickness and infection than from actual combat trauma. Having a well stocked first aid kit complete with antibiotics and other infection fighting supplies may be the difference between successfully treating a minor injury and dying a miserable sepsis induced death.

The first aid kit is one of the most important survival supplies because you can put anything you really need inside of it Food? Chuck it in there, Rope? Chuck it in, You can put potentially ANYTHING you want or need inside of it! Will you be able to carry it all? No. Will you be able to carry most of it? Yes! If it will take part in keeping you alive throw it in there. Its not only for band-aids.
