A decent deal if you do not have the majority of this stuff already but the average person will never require the majority of this but this kit is also extremely basic
These also work very well as a take and toss item. We throw them in the beach bag, Disney bag, take them on road trips, camp
outs and even to our neighbors NY field party.
The whole kit is cheaper than one tube of Neosporin and a box of bandaides from a roadside pharmacy and way cheaper than a convenience store.

I've use some really crappy bandaids. These were previously pretty good. I'd give it a 7/10.
People usually ask why so many, and the answer is actually the frequency of change. Bandages and dressings are meant to be changed every few hours. Breathability is important for wound health.
My only complaint about buying generic 1st aid kits is that the crappy generic bandaids don't properly stick or don't last if they stick. I rather spend a few more bucks to buy the Johnson & Johnson 1st aid kit. Everything inside the kit is of name brands. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0...B000069EYA

FDA tests let military use expired drugs [thepharmaletter.com]
The US Food and Drug Administration's Shelf Life Extension Program meansthe US military can use medicines for years past their labeled expiry date.
Very few drugs actually do harm when "expired", most will gradually lose potency (not work as well). That study proved that many drugs had the same potency *15 YEARS* after expiration, and that's important for an organization that buys billions in meds yearly.
Other items.... over VERY LONG time periods elastics will degrade - bandaids will crack, etc, but I'm talking many years.
Of course storage is important too - elevated temps and sun aren't good for the vinyl in bandaids. IPA wipes will dry out.

Exact reason I got it. Car stash.
Especially when you throw them in the trunk!

Right? I just found my kit from that SD... buried in my RV. We had a burn and a cut on the same night. Can never have too many of these when you have kids, scooters, skateboards, and alcohol around. (Although it was only the adults with the alcohol who needed the first aid this time 😆
Buying a couple for my self destructive wife and kids.
