I searched through Amazon for an inexpensive first aid/ emergency kit. I decided to get this one since it includes a radio, whistle and a few other supplies most kits don't have. This is a great starter kit. It is perfect to have in your car and/ or home. I packed this into a backpack with some other needed supplies in-case of an emergency. The radio is cheaply made but WORKS. It even has a little medical guide. Everything is organized and packaged pretty well. My only hangup is that the plastic packaging is cheap and will tear easily with regular use. I'm thinking about getting another one. For the price, I would recommend this to anyone.
I was looking for a jumping off point to assemble new first aid kits for the cars. This seemed like a good idea to start with and then I can add in my own stuff afterwards. The things that are in here, though, are VERY limited. Like 2 alcohol wipes or the smallest amount of hand sanitizer humanly possible to package. The CPR barrier is actually the crappiest thing I've ever seen pawned off as an actual CPR device (think of the plastic sheet you may have used on a manikin in class) I wouldn't actually USE that thing on anyone.
The red bag is good quality, seems fine but the bags inside (which contain the supplies) are about the same quality as ziplock bags, except they're made of a heavy cellophane type material. They also have no closure on them aside of sticky adhesive that is made to keep resealing over and over again. (I'm sure that's not going to last long)
You could make & assemble all of this for less cost but if you want to do it lazy style (like me!) then it's a starting point but nothing more. You're going to have to add things (and there's not too much space to do it in).

I originally bought this cream for the cat who had hot spots that were red and not healing because she would lick/bite them. After 3 days of using the cream on her, her hot spots have healed.
