Some economical basics that you need to keep on hand in quantity are sanitary napkins-great for dressings. Aspirin, Tylenol, burn ointments, Pepto, etc. Duct tape has a thousand uses. Get some knowledge under your belt. The Red Cross has first aid, first responders, EMT, and an array of higher courses offered at most tech schools. Epsom salt, yellow root (golden seal), and even plain salt can do as minor anti septics. Yellow is a mild anti biotic and very shelf stable. Animal antibiotics is the same stuff your dr. prescribes and available at most any farm/pet supplier. I have a large sealed Aluminum container full of all kinds of supplies and a couple others more easily transportable. Get that training asap because all the supplies in the world will not do much good w/o being able to use it properly. Learn the "ABCs"(Airway,Breathing, Circulation) and how to properly correct them. It is important--the life you save may be mine-lol.

I agree with -06 about the Red cross get some traing when I first started building my SHTF supplies I took an EMT corse. Then talked with some medic's and ER doctor's who helped me fill my bags. I have four of the large Medic bags one is just filled with Meds (make sure to keep check on exp dates) Then one is filled with the same supplies that a rescue unit carries, I keep it in my vehicle, The other two I have loaded down with Med supplies stored with my other supplies. I was watching on Best defense the other night they were doing a show about being prepared and the one older guy was in a class that was teaching people how to stitch up wounds. Training and being prepared with the right supplies will save your life or the life of your family and friends. Plus if you are in a situation where you need to stay on the move and someone gets hurt it dont take you out of the game.
