HOw To RED METAL FIRST AID KIT DIY

So.....here is a fun (and ongoing) project.  What is it?  Read on!

Red Excel metal tool box
We started with this metal tool box.  Heavy, sturdy, seals up nicely and definitely mouse proof.

Purchased here at Amazon (affiliate):
Excel TB137-Red 1-Tray Steel Tool Box

$16.72.  Not too bad for heavy duty quality.


It's a nice size and has this removable top tray that adds more storage.  


It holds a lot of tools in the bottom. But wait?
Are we going to put tools in it?
No, we have other plans.


I ordered some stickers online.  Three "white cross" stickers and 2 "first aid kit" stickers.  They threw in a 9/11 sticker which we thought was kind of a nice touch to add to our new first aid kit.  

Red metal First Aid kit
I put one of these on the front and another on the lower part of the back side.


Then I put a white cross on each end of the box.

And just like that, voila!
A heavy duty first aid kit for the farm!


We've started buying some things to put in it.  The lower portion will hold quite a bit.  So far we've got rubbing alcohol, and some wraps and bandages in different sizes and shapes.

Still room for more of course.  


The lift out tray now has some band-aids, antibacterial ointment, hydrocortisone cream, and some aspirin, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen.  

Still room for more here too.  

We are thinking of buying a second one to have one for minor incidents and one for major things that might come up.  This is all for us to have at the farm for routine day to day possibilities and/or post hurricane or other disaster where we might need some longer term supplies.

So with space left in this one and possibly a second one, what items are must haves when prepping a good first aid kit?

Feel free to make suggestions below!

HOw To VINTAGE POSTER SUNDAY SAVE SCRAPS FEED HENS

Image
Save Kitchen Waste for Hens, vintage image courtesy of the UK Imperial Museum Sorry for delay in posting.  I thought I had this on automatic and then went to the farm and realized it didn't post when I got back. This one is another fun one.  I have posted a couple of similar posters with this same theme, but both of them related to saving scraps for pigs.  This one asks people to save scraps for hens (but mentions pigs in the caption).  It dates to WWII, the 1940's of course, and comes to us from the UK. The hens look excited don't they?  LOL. Residents could get a pail or bucket from the Council and just put food scraps and related waste in there and it would be picked up weekly.  Of course, it was for food waste only, as it says on the poster, keeping it dry and free of glass, metal, bones and paper. As you may have seen from yesterday's post, it's been record breaking heat here, so most of my activities have been limited to indoors...
