Curious if any of you guys are the prepping type?? If so what do you keep in a kit? I work at a hospital in the material management and everything that out dates I bring home instead of throw a way. Store in a tote. I have different things like wound care products,different types bandages, I've fluids, gloves, I have kept mostly something of everything but catheters. I figured what's the harm in keeping it if the world goes to poop even more so then now and somethings are not available. I keep things I don't even now how to use or what they do, but my wife is a nurse so she can show me when times comes. Maybe I'm just a hoarder!

I would double check the legality on that.

If I’m in a vehicle by myself or with my family I always have a get home bag. Everything I need to be comfortable for 3 days and longer if things are stretched. I Feel weird without it plus. I’m in twice a week because something always comes up and I’ve got it in the bag.

Drifter there's nothing that we have in our room that requires a prescription, all those items go through our pharmacy. Everything we get can be ordered by any common person.

I think it's a good idea ....

You could put some kits together to give and or sell

I need to get a get home bag together but in my single cab ranger there is not much room..

More important is I need to get in shape.

Everyone needs a bugout bag, not for the apocalypse necessarily, but stuff can happen on short notice.

I have a prepping kit for Monday with a colonoscopy on Tuesday. Does that count?

^^^^THIS^^^^

Bug out is different to me but yes everyone should carry something. First aid is often overlooked. Just having a good quality Tourniquet can save someone’s life while you’re driving home from work. Getting caught in a blizzard without anything, run out of fuel in the dessert, endless things to be prepared for. Not paranoid just plan old ready.

I would never sell, I would give away. Now don't think I'm am loading down with supplies. Things do expire but we have a small hospital and some good buyers. Supplies get used before they expire. Just every now and then things come back from departments that are sitting there and I load up.

Pawnee I never thought about a tourniquet. I'll have to add to my box. Certain kits expire more frequently and I have a ton of forceps. All because my have a little vile of lidocaine, or small freeze can of freeze spray. But we will have to get rid of them whole kit because of that. It's stupid.

I keep an Israeli bandage in my bag too. A well thought through bag is a ton of fun putting together. Also a responsibility to me as a dad and husband

start having her show you how to do things
it might be her you have to work on

I keep probably more than normal for first aid
my hunting coat has a kit
quick clot sponge
Israeli bandage
tourniquet
some 4 inch non stick pads
Benadryl
aspirin
shears
some other stuff

Green thats close to what is in my med kit that I keep in my bag

you know before they called it prepping it was called not being foolish

stores closed at 7-8pm at 9 they rolled up the sidewalks

it wasn't that long ago that if you had a headache after 8pm you would have to drive 25+ miles one way to an all night store and that would be a something like a truck stop by the interstate maybe a Walgreens in the big city that was open till 10

Benadryl , aspirin , ibuprofen , every year you bought a fresh bottle of kids cough syrup , and a bottle of adult tussin had tape and bandages .

there was always canned goods and stuff in the pantry , freezer of meat

kept the cars topped off all winter , and always a gas can in the garage.

wood pile and the house had a wood stove.

Good post Green County. Some call it prepping we just call it living.
