Excellent product for the price and well-stocked

I can recommend this kit to anyone looking for a modestly priced first aid kit for home or car, and intend to buy a second one (for my husband's car).The case was reasonably sturdy, and I liked the reflective tape (easy to find in an emergency). It was also well-stocked, with enough room to add more items (a big plus). I added to it: an American Red Cross First Aid booklet, quick-clot bandanges, a cord you could use for a tourniquet, aspirin, ibuprofin, and benadryl. Had to send away for the American Red Cross First Aid booklet, since what the kit had was inadequate -- I'd like them add the book in the future. I then drew up an alphabetical list of what the kit contained, and in which pocket, and when it should be replaced, and attached that to the outside of the kit for quick reference in an emergency. I slipped into each pocket an alpha list of what was in that pocket -- again, for quick reference in an emergency.I also listed each item in the kit (in alpha order), along with which pocket the item was in (and the expiration date of the item) and rubber-banded it to the outside of the kit. If someone's stopped breathing or bleeding out, you don't want to have to upend the entire kit to find what a CPR mask, gloves or wound gauze. Likewise, you need to know when to rotate or replace items.I also slipped into each pocket of the kit an inventory of what was in the pocket (listed alphabetically), then put the entire kit into a backpack, since it's going into my car and I want to be able to find it quickly (instead of losing the kit amongst the junk in my trunk).

Pros
  • Great kit it has saved me so many times
Cons
  • The reflective bag may be too bright or reflective for nighttime situations
