What supplies are important to have in a first aid kit for your home or car.
When you walk into any store, more than likely, you will find various types of first aid kits. These first aid kits can range from travel packs to the elaborate "tool box" supply kit. After you've bought the kit, what do you do when it is empty? Would you know what to fill it with? Or what if you wanted to put together your own first aid kit? Would you know what to buy?
The following list is of what necessary items you should have in a first aid kit. You will need one kit for your home and one for your car. If you have small children in your home, special items for them are included at the end.
