Survival Medical Supplies

Heres my list of Survival and Collapse with medical supplies

natural remedies included. We include natural remedies for
first use or back up to save on items that wont be produced in
an austere setting. Dr.Bones and I spend a lot of time and
energy researching back-up plans for traditional medicine.
We want you to have the ability to provide medical help in a
disaster scenario, and for that, youll need conventional
medical supplies and some knowledge on what natural
remedies are useful for certain situations. Below is a very
ambitious list of things you should consider:
Here is our store if you decide it is easier for you to purchase a ready made Kit from a Nurse-Practitoner
and a M.D.. I hand pack every item in water-proof bags with attention to the smallest details:

Oral antibiotics-(or if emergency, fish meds) may also include garlic oil, honey,cayenne,thyme
oil,peppermint oil and eucalyptus oil as herbal alternatives or fresh garlic or ginger. If you cant acquire
prescription antibiotics, see our 4 part series that discusses antibiotics, their fish antibiotic equivalents,
and how to use them. This is part one:

concentrate on the supplies you will need most and will likely be able use without too much training. You
