Here is a list of things that you should think about putting in your First Aid Kit. First Aid Kits are one of those things that many people don't put a lot of effort into until they actually need one. The amount of gear in there should be dictated by the difficulty of driving you will do, the remoteness of the place you are going and the length of time you will be out for. Don't forget that if things do go pears, an ambulance may be quite a long way away, so having a few well chosen things in your First Aid Kit may save the day.
