This will give you an idea of what you’ll be up against when our societal infrastructure collapses.

Survival Medical Supplies

Remember, it’s best to start by stocking up on smaller necessity items that you would find in your common first aid kit, and then expand your list of supplies from there. That way you’ll know that you have all of the necessities covered and if a big event happens while you’re searching for the additional items, you’ll be ready. Another key piece of the puzzle is to obtain the knowledge necessary to use the medical supplies that you’ve purchased.
