"You know, traveling everyday in a vehicle in our country is a very necessary, and is at times, exhilarating experience. Hi, I'm Captain Joe Bruni, and what I want to talk about is how to construct a first aid kit for your car. The basic first aid kit for your car should include the items you would find in any basic first aid kit that you can buy over the counter at your local sporting good stores, something like an over the counter drugstore, or things along those lines; like our general business stores. And along with those items such as your basic first aid kit, some other items that would be handy to carry would be some blankets; wool blankets preferably, flashlight, streamers, some type of whistle signaling device, water; a couple of bottles of water, twenty dollars in cash, and if you have a baby, some spare baby diapers, and it may not be a bad idea to even have a pencil and small pad of paper, in case you have to write down directions and phone numbers. Along with your basic medical supplies, those are key items. You may want to store them all inside of a waterproof bag, within a waterproof bag, to keep your medical supplies dry. I'm Captain Joe Bruni. Stay safe, and we'll see ya' next time."
