Listen To This Article:

I’m going to help you build a decent first-aid kit. I mean a basic first aid kit. You can use one in your home, office, or car without the assistance of a wheelbarrow. You won’t need a medical degree to use it.

Better yet, you’re going to build a basic first aid kit that’s far better than those done-for-you kits at the pharmacy, and we’re not going to break the bank building it.
