Contents of one of my first aid kits.
This is the kit I keep in my car. It serves two purposes:
The first is to treat minor wounds I'm likely to encounter while hiking, flying kites, doing KAP, or whatever. I carry a second kit in my hiking and KAPing gear, so this kit would be used in a secondary role in this case.
The other is to treat wounds others might have that might not be associated with hiking, kiting, etc. This is why the kit includes a pocket mask, pulse oximeter, ab pad, etc. In this case I would not be self-treating.
It is imperative that a first aid kit be kept stocked at all times. I keep a spreadsheet with the contents of all of my first aid kits on it. With it, I can inventory one or several first aid kits and get a shopping list to take with me the next time I go to the store. The spreadsheet maintains counts of how much of any given item I want to have in my kit, so restocking is very straightforward.
Not shown here are safety glasses and a notebook. The safeties are for body substance isolation (getting hit in the eye with someone else's fluids is a good way to contract unwanted disease). The notebook is for taking notes in. It's important that the pages be easy to remove. No Moleskine here! Something like a cheap pocket spiral bound notebook is better.
In case all this seems extreme, here's an exercise to try: Go get a modestly priced first aid kit and familiarize yourself with the contents. Carry it with you. Any time anyone around you needs help, offer your services. It's a little surprising how often this happens!
I highly recommend taking a basic first aid class before doing anything where you might be the only medical assistance available: long hikes, backpacking, boating, etc. The classes typically last a day or less, don't cost much, and provide you with enough information to treat most minor wounds. Add a CPR class, and you can literally become a life saver.

There is a story that accompanies this blurry photo of me and my lifeguard certification card.
I have been in lifeguard classes all week. This means 4-9 pm M-F and 9-1 today, Saturday. I am exhausted and bruised.
I swim pretty regularly at the VTC pool. Since the pool is at a school most of the lifeguards are students. Since they are students they mostly go home for school breaks which means getting lifeguards to cover the pool during vacations is hard or impossible. I've been annoyed in the past by driving the 20 min to get to the pool and finding the door locked (they're not real great about notification either). I bitched a little and the guy who runs the pool said "well, you can get certified and then you can work when the students are gone, maybe you can get a few more non-students too"
So, the class was five students -- two still in high school -- and one other guy about my age and me. The swimming part I was pretty good at. I'm not bad at the First Aid and CPR parts, though both have changed dramatically since I last took them. I was decent at shallow water rescues, and okay at being a shallow water drowner and having someone else rescue me. What was really hard was deep water drowning and drowners. I get a little panicky when I'm stuck underwater. I can hold my breath a decent amount of time, but when you're trying to fake having a spinal injury and someone's got their hands around your neck and is slooooooowly bringing you to the surface, well that's a bit of a challenge.
In my typical fashion I was worried that I might not pass. My worries were unfounded. I got my card, got back in the pool and swam half a mile, and now I intend to sleep for the rest of the holiday weekend.

Fun event today, hosted by Shrewsbury AC, open to all young athletes aged between 8-14 years. I was asked to take the photographs... and there will be a lot as I tried to get a record of everyone who competed, as well as the odd glimpse of some of the amazing volunteers who gave their time and made it very special. Will probably take some time for me to get them all here, but I'm on it.

This image was inspired by this week's Macro Mondays theme of CHOCOLATE!
Yes, they actually have emergency chocolate bars (for emergencies, of course!)
As always, thanks for your views, comments and faves!

St John Ambulance and the British Red Cross provided First Aid cover.
Dorset Radio Communications Control Vehicle call sign WR904.
I made this sketch box by gluing empty half pans into this empty first aid kit. I used rubber cement, which is non-permanent, so that I can change out the pans later if I want. When closed, the outside dimensions are 3.5" x 4" (10 x 11 cm).
The eight half pans are filled with artists-quality tube paints, featuring both a warm and a cool of the primaries plus two earth tones as follows:
1. Hansa Yellow Medium (Daniel Smith)
2. New Gamboge (Daniel Smith)
3. Scarlet Lake (Winsor & Newton)
4. Permanent Alizarin Crimson (Holbein)
5. Ultramarine Light (Holbein)
6. Peacock Blue (Holbein)
7. Raw Sienna (Holbein)
8. Burnt Sienna (Daniel Smith)
