When EMS is slow, your kit is the difference. Nathan Yearsley from Augason Farms shows exactly what to stock: bandages, antiseptics, gloves, burn care, tweezers, gauze, pressure dressings, and tourniquets. Add OTC meds—pain relief, antihistamines, anti-diarrheal, electrolytes—and a 7–30 day supply of prescriptions. Check expirations, rotate supplies, and keep printed + digital medical records. Put kits in your home, car, and Go Bag, and get basic CPR/first aid training so you can act fast.
