How to Pack a M3 Medic Bag
- 1). Stock the bag with a variety of essential first aid items. These include: an assortment of bandages and gauze from small to large, compression bandages, antibiotics, pain relievers, saline solution, adhesive tape, first aid cream, burn aid packages, snake bite kit, tourniquet, eye bandage, splints, antibacterial wash, scissors, alcohol wipes, sponges, iodine wipes, antiseptic wipes, hemostat, syringe, lip balm, latex gloves, flushing solution, suture kits, tongue depressors, airway, safety pins, soap, instant ice, instant heat, antihistamines, sleeping pills, caffeine pills, and tweezers.
- 2). Keep a few pills in small bottles rather than buying bulk quantities. You can always re-fill the bottles. Smaller bottles take less room and there is less risk of your entire supply of pills from becoming contaminated.
- 3). Bundle the supplies in plastic bags. The M3 medic bag is waterproof, and the plastic bags will keep dirt and other contaminants from getting into your kit when you have it open.
- 4). Place the most used items where they are easily reached. Try to spread the contents evenly across the pouches so the bag can be folded tightly.
