im trying to put together a good first aid kit to keep in my truck. ive got the essentials down im pretty sure(bandaids alcohol whipes and such). what are somethings i might not think of? not looking to make a mabile hospital here just something to treat non life threatening injuries? im thinking something like this would be more the suffecient. http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/MHR328-1.html

    Depends. Are you and BOB just friends, or what?

    You cant have enough Gauze, and feminine napkins are excellant to apply to bleeding and wrap. I bought a bigger kit myself for my cruiser it has anything you might run into in the field in it. Im also an EMT and sometimes arrive on the scene of MVA's before EMS and I use my kit frequently. Always remember to restock.

    I was actually thinking of getting a ams bag for the trunk of my car but I might go with a molle medic pouch and try to stuff everything in there.

    I would highly suggest buying a first aid kit.

    Campmor has many to choose from. I have carried their Comprehensive kit for years and like it a lot. Neat thing about Campmor kits is the book that comes with them that give tons of information on preforming first aid.

    My advice. Always carry a larger first aid kit than you think you will need they are light weight considering. Goes back to the ole "Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it" adage.
