Kit: First Aid

Here is what is in ours:

• 2 triangular bandages
• 2 packs of gauze
• Eye pad dressing
• A million plasters
• Iodine
• 2 elasticated bandages
• Arnica tablets (I don't believe in homeopathic nonsense, but it is amazing how quickly they will shut up a screaming child...)
• Paracetamol
• Handwashing gel
• Dettol antiseptic cream
• Sterilising wipes
• Germolene 'new skin'
• Vaseline
• 2 rolls of medical tape
• Paw paw cream (from Australia-swear by this stuff!)
• Rubber gloves
• CPR mask (both of us have had CPR training)
• Splinter remover
• Burn cream

All of this fits neatly into a fairly small first aid bag which will live on the outside of my rucksack. This is a variation on the kit that would go on holiday with us or live in the car, but is not quite as thorough as our home first aid kit.
