\"firstaidkitv21\"A first aid kit is a collection of supplies and equipment for use in giving first aid. Kits contain bandages for controlling bleeding, personal protective equipment such as gloves and a barrier for performing rescue breathing and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), and sometimes instructions on how to perform first aid.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most store bought first aid kits, especially the cheap ones, are very poor in terms of quality, quantity, and selection of items, and are only suited for treating very minor injuries. A homemade kit, if properly prepared, is generally better and sometimes cheaper than most commercial kit. However, the contents of a first aid kit should be optimized for local conditions. For example, hikers in snake country should have a snakebite kit and a kit aboard a boat should have medications for seasickness while a kit for paddlers and whitewater rafters should be waterproof.<\/p>\n
