First aid kits
Surprised there is no section dedicated to "FIRST AID" kits.
Anyway just brought a proper tin first aid box clearly marked so its easy to see.
It will have a pride of place in the Patrol. I have stocked mine to cover most camp accidents like cuts and burns. I'm also going to have an EPI pen, If you need one first see your doctor and get a script
as its normally $100 over the counter and $5 with a script and maybe cheaper again with a health care card.
I also have stickers on the rear of Patrol in case anyone requires a first aid kit, torch, or fire extinguisher.
If travelling further out Id modify what I take.

Thanks 3D, one of the first things that I got when I bought my first Patrol mate

I got 2 first aid kits from COTD for less than $20 each................ pretty damn comprehensive kits they are too. Not bulky either, quite impressed. One is in my car and the other is in the missus car

Irish's wife worked for St Johns and set me up.... it stays in my car all the time!!

We've got a pretty comprehensive one too - Brads mum works in a chemist so got the ingredients (so to speak) for a full on $200 kit for next to nix.
Comes everywhere with us

With Summer just around the corner, I hope....these websites are definitely worth checking out, I have just picked snake bite related info.
Print them out and keep them in your First Aid kit.

We've got 3 boat car and house , my sisters hubby is a pilot on a rescue chopper , so had made sure we got the necessary items , his big thing is make sure the any medications you need you have , and that that info is known to anyone traveling with you , they did a rescue off a yacht because a bloke left his medication at home , costs alot to keep those birds in the air .

Probably the most important item is a pressure bandage.......the bigger the better.
