A Ziploc Bag First Aid Kit from Modern Survival Blog
GNN Note – Having several of these go-bags First Aid kits, one for each person in the house, may be a good idea. /END
It’s easy to make a small do-it-yourself First Aid Kit to fit inside a quart size Ziploc bag. You might not need a fully equipped professional First Aid Kit for every single use-case scenario.
I believe my first Ziploc bag First Aid Kit was built for a day-hike style ‘Versipack’ (like these).
Now is your chance to support Gospel News Network.
We love helping others and believe that’s one of the reasons we are chosen as Ambassadors of the Kingdom, to serve God’s children. We look to the Greatest Commandment as our Powering force.
Or maybe you put one together for your purse?
Tip: ‘Freezer’ Ziploc bags are stronger.
Why do I do keep a First Aid Kit in a Ziploc bag?
While I do have a few other more substantial First Aid Kits, the minimalist (Ziploc) First Aid Kit works well for me. I can just slide it into a small space in my pack. Even if the pack is full, there’s a way to get it in there… Actually I just leave these Ziploc kits in the various bags so they’re always there.
There’s no extra bulk or weight when using a Ziploc bag. And there is the advantage of being able to see right into the Ziploc and what’s inside.
What First Aid kit items do I keep in a Ziploc bag?
Good question! It seems that I’m changing it around from time to time. Admittedly the problem that I have is that there’s always a good reason to add more Fist Aid items, however then it gets too big! There’s really no right or wrong kit, so do what works for you.
I might tailor it depending on what I’m going to be doing and where I may be going (with the associated risks thereof). However I do keep the basics in there for starters.
