"Well if you are going to put a first aid kit you could put it in a ziploc bag. Just the things you would need to put in a kit you could put in a baggie. Just some basic things like some band-aids, some maybe some kind of antibiotic ointment. Anything that if you are allergic to aspirin then you don't want to put those kinds of things in there. But any kinds of just basic non-prescription type medicines. Maybe something for upset stomach you never know what you might encounter if you have to eat away from home for a long period of time. Some band-aids, some gauze bandages things like that. Just basic, not any kind of elaborate sutures or anything that you could seek attention at the hospital for. But just for basic cuts, burns scrapes, insect bites, things like that. And then put all those things the entire disaster kit can fit into a nice plastic container. The ones like you slide under your bed, or you know a nice rubbermaid box that you can buy at most any store now. Most departments stores carry those kinds of boxes, and they seal pretty well. They are easy to pick up and grab and take with you."
