You've given me a few ideas of stuff to add to my kits. . . Something I wish I had known about years ago is how perfect fanny packs are to use for emergency first aid kit. The products are right there on you in reach and both hands are free to do what needs to be done. No need for a table to set things on. Amazon sells them, but it's just as easy to create one with any fanny pack and first aid supplies.

Thank you Eunice, I will add a silicone eye wash cup to my kit. I also included a burn cream to the kit too.

Van dwellers need all these, Excellent 👍

2 things I always say to add to your first aid kits are pen + marker. Many times I treated patients with a compression bandage. Whilst every good intentions maybe to tell the emergency worker (say ambulance or medical) the time the bandage was applied but by writing the time on the bandage the medical team knows exactly the time.

Wonderful kits! You've inspired me to go through my kits and make sure everything is refilled and updated.

I had to go to the ER on Wednesday. I had a blood clot in my lung. Unfortunately it was a standalone ER so I needed to be transferred by non-emergency ambulance to the hospital. Well due to inadequate staff I was stuck in the ER for 15 hours. Since they aren’t a full hospital they don’t have a full pharmacy. Normally I keep at least 48 hours worth of my daily medications in my purse. But the pills were getting old so I’d taken them out to change them, and hadn’t gotten around to it. Fortunately someone was able to go to my house and bring me my meds. But I won’t make that mistake again! P.S. I’m home now and doing okay and will be on blood thinners for at least 3 months.

You've inspired me to add a few things to my EDC. Question: can you show us what you use for a purse and how everything fits inside? I'm starting to wonder if mine is too small! Love your videos so much, Eunice. I recently started traveling more for work, and have become a better packer with your help. Would LOVE to see a video about how to pack for a 2-night work trip.

I found the delight pho at dollar tree not to long ago.

Great one, Eunice! Happy to see you got ahold of those waterproof pouches. The concept of an eye flushing kit is missing from my kit! Love that! Glad to see you all better from your bee sting!

Wow! I thought I had alot of helpful items in my bags, but you've brought some new and very useful items to my attention. Thank you!

I love that you even have a kit for kids, that's so so thoughtful!

14:28 replace the full tampon for an OB tampon. Much smaller and they are also great to put up your nose if you get a nosebleed. You look like a mouse crawled up there, but they work great! Also good for pressing against a wound that is bleeding.

I was a elementary school Health Assistant for 10 years (Nurse w/o an RN) we worked under the District Nurses License. Anyway- Bee Stings are no joke! Mix rubbing alcohol with a little baking soda to make a paste, spread on sting( after removing stinger) and put an ice pack on top. It works like a charm! (Probably not a good idea for the eye area however….) Glad your eye is better! I love your little kits! You think of everything !!!!!❤

EMB you should send a compilation of you videos to all the broadcast channels! You would make a perfect morning show host! Just my opinion.

One thing I carry is a 325 mg Aspirin (uncoated) for possible heart issues. I’ve contemplated glucose tabs too.

In the kiddos 1st aid kit I would put a lot of band aides and topical ointments, sting kill swabs, etc. When my kids were younger I went through those the most. I love the eye wash cup, I would have that also. One time we were at the beach and one of the kids got sand in their eye, that would've been great to have!!! They always had cuts, scraps and were getting bit or stung. Thankfully they were not allergic! If your kiddos or friends kiddos are allergic and they spend a lot of time with you I would ask the parents about what to give them and if they are allergic enough to have an epipin, see if they will give you a kit to have when their child is with you. It can save their life!!! You've inspired me to go through my kits and fine tune them. I also realized I don't have a specific kits. I need them! I LOVE the edc kit & hiking kit! We go fishing on the ocean a lot and I need to develop a more specific kit for that. A basic 1st aid kit is ok but we need to have other things like dramamine, 1st aid for hook punctures and 1st aid for deeper cuts, etc. A store bought 1st aid kit just doesn't do it. Thank you!!

I am so glad you included the silicone eye cup and eye wash. I too learned from not having it with me, but it was my dog not me - we were at the beach and she ended up getting a lot of sand in her eye which resulted in a scratched cornea, same thing antibiotics. I was very lucky, she didn't lose her vision, now I carry it everywhere.

You def helped me up my travel first aid game - thanks! Last summer we took a fast ferry from Newport, RI to Block Island for a day trip. The seas on the way over were ROUGH! I NEVER get motion sick but I was barfing along with at least half the other folks on that ferry. I now keep a couple barf bags and Dramamine in my travel first aid kit also!

I didn’t see any Q-tips I find them useful instead of sticking fingers in eyes or ears. I also didn’t see any dental floss. Dental floss can be used for a myriad of things and comes a very small packet. I find it very useful. You can even create a line to hang up clothes on.

I love the ring on your right hand.

I sometimes get a bit of a cough so I always have cough lozenges in my EDC. Nowadays if you cough people look askance thinking you might have covid so it's helpful.

About a year ago, I added the eye cups/saline to each of our bug out bags. My teen daughter kept putting the cups on her eyes for fun because they look like swimming goggles...lol! Add packing gauze in your kits, they're better for stopping blood from open wounds (like gunshot) or any cut that keeps bleeding, it's better than a tampon.

Just a thought... trade out that Tampax for an OB brand tampon. I think I have the name right. No applicator. Just the tampon, each one individually wrapped. Massive space saver that way. You can squeeze 3 in the same space 1 Tampax would fit. Good fire starters too. Compressed cotton, so flammable. Easy peasy 😊

I always carry ginger chews for nausea, and because I suffer lower back pain, some packets of Salon Pas pain strips. Your emergency kits are fantastic!

Sorry for your mésaventure!! And thank you for this vidéo

Nice emergency kit! I carry a portable 6 lead ECG machine, which is the size of a mini chocolate bar. That would be nice to have in your kit, especially if you have cardiac problems. You can send the result to your doctor anytime 😊

The one think I would add is tools and meds for a burn - I learned this the hard way - I burned my arm quite badly and unfortunately did not have anything appropriate to clean the wound or bandage it - and as you know burns can become infected so easily. Now I make sure I have something for burns in all my kits.

Eunice, do you have a background as a nurse? I love the EDC carry videos, travel kit videos and purse videos. Those are my favorite. I've added some additional things to my purse and utilize your tips for upcoming trips because everything you carry is so thoughtful and purposeful. Love it

Nice video! I too love fitting so many items in small pouches…love the finger cover idea…I personally carry burn gel, I have used it multiple times (birthday candle burn on a curious toddler, burn from splashing oil in cooking pan etc) especially when it comes to kids, it doesn’t necessarily aid in wound healing but aids in actually diminishing the pain. I wouldn’t recommend for severe burns but even small burns can cause an unbearable sting. Oral meds don’t work as fast as gel. I’m sure you’re aware but for those who are not, Advil and Aleve are in the same class/family of medications, meaning they act similarly in the body. Perhaps one dose won’t do much harm but taking essentially “a lot” of the same medication does not add to their effectiveness, this only increases the risk of adverse effects (most commonly upset stomach for these medications). So Aleve or Advil treat pain/inflammation but Tylenol on the other hand is a different class and only treats pain. My personal combo if I absolutely need it (I try to avoid meds only when absolutely needed) and when one med isn’t working. Also, peppermint tea works wonders on an upset stomach. Literally 100% success rate, so far for me and my family 😊

Why am I just watching this??? I must have missed this upload. For the kids, they now make lollipops for cough and there are ones that are made with honey as well. My child also likes ginger candies/lollies for nausea.

Excellent kits! So comprehensive. Very useful information.

Thank you for the video! I'm watching from an airport lounge!

Bee stings! Try to not pinch the embedded stinger. Attached is a small sac of the poison/irritant. Flick, scrape with a credit card to remove the stinger ❤

Super great video, as always. We can pull from each of these to find a kit that will be useful to us. I will have to watch this one several times in order to decide how to put kits together for myself. I found an awesome first aid book at REI a few months ago when I was putting a first aid kit together for hiking. It's small enough to fit in a compact kit. The pages are stiff plastic, and the book is spiral bound. It's amazing. Thanks for doing such a thorough job of presenting this info! Fabulous!

Hi Eunice. Thanks for posting these types of videos, they are helpful . I may have blinked and missed these items, but I would add packets of Neosporin , sunscreen, and after sun/aloe. Yes, we bring tubes, but just in case you leave it behind, you have a backup. Ginger tea bags are great to have when under the weather too.

Thank you Eunice! Another stellar video….and my Amazon cart is filling up!

These are all great kits. I love the small mesh zipper "thingies," lol.. I bet they really help with organization. I added them to my list too. I also love the little black flat flashlight, I have been looking for one to keep with my nebulizer. Thanks so much for sharing! 💜

Great tips and advice for emergencies!

Your videos are super helpful 👍🏼 Please keep them coming. ❤

Thanks,ordered eye cups immediately and a couple of other things as well.

I bring over the counter medicines with me whenever I travel, usually good for 1-2 days, because that's hoping I'd be well enough to buy what else I need after taking these initial meds. My first aid kit is just some band aids, alcohol, cotton. 😅 definitely need to add some more. Thank you!

I have a silver compact I haven’t been using for a long time. You just gave me a great idea with the pills!

Please make a prescription emergency kit. ❤

Hi Eunice! The algorithm brought me here as I am getting my first aid and travel items organized. I'm so glad it did that as I will be binging your video library 😁 That little bag Brandon recommended is awesome, would you mind letting me know where I can get one? Thanks so much and God bless from Phoenix! 👋

Another great video! I love all the little kits! I didn't know Pedialyte came in powder form, I will be picking up some of those. I carry a lot of the same things for travel, things I have needed in the past. I haven't seen the silicone eye wash tub before, but will be looking for it. You are right about having the diarrhea medicine on you already (insert diarrhea song, sorry). That is a staple for me, on any trip. I also need to get some of those one time use medicine pkgs. These are all great ideas! Thank you again!

Another wonderful video Eunice. I love me a good first aid kit!! I must have a dozen different types for various applications.

Absolutely crazy story about your eye!!! I’ll look into it for my EDC kit

Your videos are always so helpful and well done! So many great tips and tricks. The only thing I didn’t see in your kits was regular old band-aids - for me, that’s my go to EDC item - band-aids and Neosporin. Thanks for the Amazon list with all the links, I’ll be adding a few things to my cart, for sure.

Thank you for this video! It was so informative. And gives me more ideas of what I need to get together in my pack.

and so practical♥️

Have you thought of adding compressed gauze for big bleeding? I personally have duck tape in my first aid kit paired with ziplock freezer ziplock back to use instead of chest seal (the duck tape takes little room if you wrap it around a gift card). ❤

Suggestions: I always carry band-aids especially really big ones, like 2 inch wide. They have come in so handy. I'm a lot odler than you and my skin rips! You are the Queen of Quantum Physics! So much in such litle spaces. I do have a cycling frist aid kit but I see mine is woefully inadequate! Thank you so much! :) Where do you find this stuff??? I agree about bug repellent. I didn't know they made wipes for that. Mosquitoes ADORE me.

you are genious👍✨ so good tips🙏

A can opener? Do you walk around with a can opener? How often do you eat canned food? I rarely eat canned food. I have used a can opener once in 12 years. Here, cans have an opening function on the lid of the can.

I keep Claritin Redi-tabs in my bag because they don’t require water and dissolve under the tongue.

I always carry back pain medication with muscle relaxant because, as you point out, I don't want to have to go out and buy it when I need it. Also, umm, iodine pills in case of a nuclear accident since I live and vacation within 20 miles of nuclear power plants.

Wow! I think you have it all covered. 😁👍 Isn't it interesting that we have to experience some sort of emergency or medical issue first before we even think of packing the remedy? It is really difficult to try to prepare for everything. I have similar kits in my house, hiking backpack, travel backpack, truck camper, truck, and car. I also have a few bandaids and salves in my wallet. They have ALWAYS come in handy. I would maybe add some heartburn medication such as Prilosec or similar. They are helpful if you are sitting for a long time or have eaten too much on a flight. My doctor has also recommended the "ZZ" combo of Zyrtec and Zantac for rashes or allergic reactions since they block both H1 and H2 receptors. I'm not a doctor, so check with yours first before taking any of these...

Motion sickness lollipops are necessary for my grandson for travel.

mary poppins bag!

I just adore you! You have many beautiful gems in here that I’d never thought Of and aren’t in standard first aid kits. Last week we went out for n the pink keep tour and I got something in my eye. And my eyes dried out from the wind and pollen. I didn’t bring my bag. And. Now that eye cup and solution will be in my kit. Would it be a good idea to remove eye makeup before using that? Pho packets?????? Yum!!!!!!!!!! Two Weeks ago my husband cut his head falling backwards onto a propane tank. I completely forgot that I had stop the bleed pads that came in just days before. This reminds me to go back over the contents of the kits and literally practice so I develop muscle Memory. I tend to Lose my mind in emergencies. The cooling packs can be replaced with a wet washcloth in a baggie. I also travel With a medical water bottle they use for the head or other body parts. I filled it with hot water while camping in a bamboo hut in Africa. Kept me warm. Also use it in a cooler to Keep Food cold. I’d add essential oils. Especially lavender for anything skin related like scrapes and burns. I Also pack EO bug repellent and after bite or sting. Coconut oil is a great carrier to up and lotion. EOs can also be a see for deodorant. Tea tree is great for that infection, cleaning and getting too off. A snake bite kit and the big bite thing that sucks venom. Chigger bite topical has benzocaine and numbs bites well and burns. I use a jewelers loop magnifying glass daily to See splinters, baby ticks, etc. Can also be used for starting a fire. A lighter and some needles to get splinters out. A mirror to pluck that stinger out of your eye. Can also be used for signaling. Flat reading glasses so I can see what the heck I’m doing. Rubber bands of various sizes. Lip balm with spf. Or a natural SPF. Anti chafing cream sound good now that I’ve put on weight and my thighs rub. Maybe salt? I had to soak my foot when it got infected when I cut it on coral in Hawaii. Magnesium And potassium are good for spasms. A backup of your prescription medications or supplements. I Also carry homeopathy with me. Arnica Montana helps with pain, spasms, wound healing. I’m have both the cream and the pills. Decant what you can and label Everything not just for yourself but for others. Protein to balance any sugar lossless the vit c or candy. Jeremy stick, nuts, even bone broth packet would help. An emergency contact info card with allergies, medical conditions, allergies, insurance info, doctors, medications and doses, phone numbers to call. Small battery backup and cable. Can be a 2 in one device with usb outlet like a hand warmer, selfie light etc. Or just a small keychain size for just enough juice to send a text or call 911. A foil emergency blanket is compact and can be used as a wind break, warmth, signaling or a clean surface to dress winds and lay out your gear. Pack a long cord to make a shelter from sun or rain and a second one for a dry or clean floor or to repel bugs and critters. For a bigger kit add a piddle pad or a smaller dental bib to contain bleeding, or vomit. A blade. I like the replaceable scalpel pocket knifes. I don’t go anywhere without my mint CBD oil. Great for headaches, muscle pain, sun burn, cough, rash etc. Mini peroxide and alcohol. Can use it with a compressed cloth or alone. Q tips. Scoop junk out of eye,apply ointment, etc. Can also add lip balm or ointment or alcohol to use as a mini torch fire starter.

Great video! I would like to suggest in your second kit to put at least 3 Imodium tabs. The first dose should always be 2 tabs and then you can take another one with your next episode of diarrhea. One tab really isn't going to help. One of those things that follows the rule of 'If you've got one, you've got none.' 🙂

Loving your channel! I purchased the tiny flashlight you recommend. My question is about the battery. When you travel with it, do you put in the battery, in addition to the usb charger? does it make it just a bit more heavy, or is it worth it to include the aaa battery? Along those same lines, what about the little clips that come with it? Are they usuful, because I kind of like how sleek and tiny (but powerful) it is. Thanks!

Like the makeup

Can you let me know where you purchased the water proof pouch please? Thank you for an awesome review! I will add more items to my kit 😁

These videos are so helpful. Do you keep these kits packed and ready to go at all times? When you come back from a trip do you just replenish and that's you good to go for the next trip? I often take small trips and wondering if it's something I should start doing as I find packing really stressful.

Where did you get the zippered waterproof kit bags. I didn’t see them in your cart

Nurse question - how do you keep track of the expiration of so many products in so many different kits?

Can you please link to the waterproof zipper bag? I don’t see it in your Amazon store.

Wow. So the stinger was actually in your eyeball?

Where can I get that can opener? I have wanted one for years

I can’t find the waterproof bag things your using have you got a link please

Somehow the mosquito got into my house and when I was sleeping I could not open my eye. I thought I had pink eye or some other bad condition that just happened but it was apparently three mosquito bites on my eye and my ear. It was so swollen shut I couldn't even see anything. And unfortunately I had lost vision from it. I took a Benadryl but that didn't work. At the hospital they gave me another antihistamine which was pointless it literally made me so tired I cannot even keep my eyes open.

Since the reaction to the beesting should you carry an epipen now?

I think maybe using the word "sterile" quite loosely

You can tape an iPad on their eye... ah... an eye pad 😁

What a lovely, and beautiful lady- will you marry me? Please peruse the Maxpedition fatty pack for first aid kit. Makes accessing content so easy. Your waterproof bag is good, but removing everything to get to 1 item is a butt in the pain. Ciao.

finger "cot"

Wow! I thought I had alot of helpful items in my bags, but you've brought some new and very useful items to my attention. Thank you!
