what are some good things to put in a car first aid box?

Answer 1

In my first aid kit, I have....
a non battery operated flashlight, various sized bandages, two cold packs, gauze, scissors, medical tape, glucose tablets, neosporin, bactine, a solar blanket for each person in my family, cayenne pepper (you can put it into your socks and it will warm your feet), tweezers, different sized finger splints, alcohol wipes, a arm sling, bug bite cream, canteen, shrill whistle, small unbreakable mirror, small branch cutting wire, matches in a water proof baggie or plastic container with some tissue strips to start a fire ,and a leatherman multi-tool. This should get you through just about any emergency.

Answer 2

Usually what comes with it is good. I would suggest some extra gloves since most first aid boxes usually only come with one set. You might always want to take extra stuff that isn't in there like flashlight, food, water, blankets etc for just in case.

Usually all you need are a few of the basics like bandaids, antibacterial ointment, plastic gloves, needle for splinters plus a tweezers, alcohol wipes. Unless you are in some remote location this will be enough to get you by until you get to a hospital or home. If you need anything bigger, you need to call 911.
