How to Build a Long-Term Emergency First Aid Kit

    • 1). Clean the container with soap and water. Dry completely. Water droplets ruin bandages. Place the bandages, gauze, scissors, splint, breath barriers, tweezers, first aid book and feminine products in a plastic bag. Find all these supplies at drug stores. Close the bag tightly. Put the wipes, rubbing alcohol, hand sanitizer and hydrogen peroxide in a separate plastic bag. Close bottles tightly to prevent leakage. Close the bag tightly, and set the bags in the container. Close the container tightly and set it inside the large bag.

    • 2). Add the canned food, bottles water and other items in the bag. Place the cans at the bottom of the bag. Put the bottled water on top of the cans. Choose a variety of food to keep up with nutrition. Vegetables, fruit and meat all come in cans.

    • 3). Tie the bag close and put it in a safe area. If the bag isn't strong enough, use a box for the canned food and water bottles. Burlap sacks are stronger than cotton weave. Check the kit once a month to make sure all expiration dates are OK and that nothing has damaged it. Update the first aid book once a year for new information. Mice and other pests chew on boxes and bags.
