So many good ideas come to mind but the thing is is that a lot of the things you would like to bring, you can't. It requires batteries or gas or some type of energy that would run out. There for, we really have to think about what we are packing. The following things are what our group of four would bring.

In our first aid kit we would bring several things. We would bring various sized bandages, gauze, tape, tweezers, cold packs, rollar bandages, gauze pads, flashlight, antibiotics, pills, wipes, scissors, string and needle, anti venom, whistle, emergancy blanket, food and water. We would pack these things to make sure that we would have everything we would need in a first aid kit. If we didn't have all the things we needed, we could die or get sick or have a horrible infection. We would need everything in the first aid kit.
