Why it's on my list

The everyday companion to the trauma kit in my bug-out bag: bandages, wound closure strips, antiseptics, topicals, sprain and fracture supplies and an over-the-counter pill pack, each in its own labeled pouch, so the small injuries get handled without opening the bleeding kit.

What it is

A compact first aid kit organized by what goes wrong: bandages, topicals, antiseptics, wound closure, skin care, sprain and fracture supplies and an over-the-counter pill packet, each in its own labeled pouch, with instructions. The link opens the JaseAid collection, where the Trauma and Medic kits and the pill packs sit next to it.

What's in the kit

The everyday kit: eight labeled pouches and a pill pack, in a pack-sized case

This is the companion to the trauma kit in my bug-out bag: the cuts, blisters, sprains, stings and headaches that happen every week get handled here, so the bleeding kit stays sealed for the day it is needed. Each pouch is labeled with the problem it solves and carries instructions, and the over-the-counter pill pack means the kit does what most first aid kits cannot: treat a fever, an allergic reaction or an upset stomach, not just cover a cut.

Over the counter med pack

The nine tablets that cover most of a bad day

Why it's included

Pain and fever, heartburn, diarrhea, allergies, motion sickness, a sleepless night: each labeled with what it is for, so the right one is obvious at the moment nobody can think straight. This pack is what makes a first aid kit useful for the kid with a fever as well as the kid with a scraped knee.

What's in it

  • Acetaminophen: pain, fever
  • Ibuprofen: pain, fever, swelling
  • Antacid: heartburn
  • Bismuth subsalicylate: diarrhea, upset stomach
  • Loperamide: diarrhea
  • Diphenhydramine: allergic reaction, insomnia, motion sickness, vertigo
  • Loratadine: allergies, hives
  • Meclizine: motion sickness, vertigo
  • Electrolyte tablets: hydration, energy, recovery

Bandages and dressings

Adhesive bandages in the shapes that stay on, plus gauze and pads

Why it's included

A fingertip bandage stays on a fingertip; a knuckle bandage bends with the knuckle; a butterfly holds a small cut closed. Those shapes are the difference between a bandage that lasts a day of work and one that is gone in an hour. The non-adherent pad and the hydrocolloid cover the scrape and the blister without taking the new skin off at the next change.

What's in it

  • Jase adhesive bandages: 1 x 3 in, 2 x 4 in, fingertip, butterfly, knuckle
  • Non-adherent pad
  • Hydrocolloid bandage
  • Sterile gauze swab, 2 x 2 in
  • Sterile gauze swab, 4 x 4 in

Cleaning, closing and topicals

The small cut handled properly

Why it's included

Flush it with the curved-tip syringe, clean it with iodine or alcohol, close it with strips and Mastisol if it is straight, cover it with antibiotic ointment or petrolatum, and burn gel for the burn. Done in that order a small cut heals clean, and most of the infections that send people to urgent care come from skipping the first two steps.

What's in it

  • Povidone iodine pad
  • Alcohol pad
  • Small iodine swabsticks, 5 pack
  • Disposable syringe, 12 cc, curved tip
  • Sterile hypodermic needle, 18 G
  • Mastisol liquid adhesive
  • Wound closure device
  • Wound skin closure strips
  • Antibiotic ointment packet
  • White petrolatum packet
  • Burn gel packet

Skin, sprains and tools

Bites and stings, a rolled ankle, a nosebleed, a splinter

Why it's included

Hydrocortisone and the sting pad for the bite that swells, repellent wipes so there are fewer of them, a mini splint and self-adhesive wrap for the ankle that rolls on the trail, a nasal clip for the nosebleed, tweezers and small shears for the splinter and the tape. The field care cards are the instructions, in the kit, where they belong.

What's in it

  • Hydrocortisone cream packet
  • Sting relief medicated pad
  • Mosquito repellent wipes
  • Jase mini splint
  • Self-adhesive wrap, 1 in
  • Jase multi tape
