  2. Adhesive Tape: To secure bandages and gauze in place.
  3. Antiseptic Wipes or Solution: For cleaning cuts and scrapes.
  4. Pain Relievers: Like ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
  5. Antihistamines: For allergic reactions.
  6. Tweezers and Scissors: For removing debris from wounds and cutting tape or bandages.
  7. Thermal Blanket: To retain body heat in cases of shock.

First Aid Knowledge: As Important as the Supplies

Having supplies is one thing, but knowing how to use them is equally important. Basic first aid knowledge can greatly enhance the effectiveness of your response in emergencies.
