Motorcycle First Aid Kit Overview

Much like having a proper fire extinguisher when and if a fire arises, I feel the same way about having a complete and proper first aid kit when and if you, someone you love, a family member, or a complete stranger gets injured and needs proper medical attention. But you need to be prepared to address that injury as it occurs. I myself always carry a soft-pouch first aid kit with me. That way, there it can be either put behind the seat of the vehicle I'm driving or in the saddlebag, the motorcycle I'm riding. There's a number of components that have to be in a first aid kit. Again, depending on how prepared you wanna be is the extent of the first aid kit you carry. I always like to carry some bandages, some sealant for open wounds, at least it's able to close the wound in time to get someone to proper medical care. You always wanna carry gloves, you don't want anyone's personal hygiene or personal health conditions to affect yours just because you're a good Samaritan and are assisting them if they're injured. A necessity for me, I'm not a doctor, I don't play one on television, I like to carry a nice thorough first aid guide, covers a number of scenarios and what you should do with them. Alcohol wipes are great when you need to sterilize an area that may be injured. Again, the list is endless, what you can carry, everything from scissors to sterilized gauze. The key is that it's in a convenient container or package that you never forget or leave behind. Worst scenario, someone does get injured or you get injured and you don't have your first aid kit with you.
