Band-Aid-Box Emergency Kit Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Flashlight bulbs do burn out. To avoid breakage, carry a spare bulb in its original plastic packaging.
  • Carry only brand new spare batteries.
  • Include wire to repair broken pack joints or to hold the sole of a boot to its leather upper. To secure the sole, simply run a single strand of wire through the lug grooves around to the boot top and twist off.
  • Include needle and thread for fabric repairs - heavyweight thread for repairing equipment and lightweight thread for clothes.
  • Pack sandpaper to clean dirt off equipment before applying glue, to sharpen needles and pins or to freshen battery terminals.
  • Extra clevis pins and split rings will replace lost or broken ones on your backpack.
  • Use nylon cord as a shoelace, a tent line, or a clothesline.
  • Examine your stove for parts that are easily lost or broken. Buy duplicates and pack them in your kit.
  • Include safety pins to repair broken tent zippers and lost buttons.
  • Pack all repair items in the Band-Aid box or other container.
  • Wrap several yards of electrical tape around the container. Use electrical tape for fabric tears that are too difficult to sew. In a pinch, electrical tape can even hold a pair of broken eyeglasses together.

    Ok this is going to sound insane, but it's also great to have a few Kotex in a first aid kit in a vehicle. They make outstanding bandages.
