How To Store Your Kit
You can store all your first aid kit supply in a bigger plastic bin and a lid of course so, everything stays clean or you could even use a tack box if you happen to have a extra one on hand. After, you have found a suitable storage bin then, you will need to get smaller, shoe box size plastic containers again, with lids. Then all you need is a sharpie to label each box by what's inside. This way in a emergancy you have an organized system, that's easy to get to. You may also, consider a small refrigerator to put medicine the vet may give you in. Some but, not all medicine require a colder tempature. The refrigerator would also, be good to store ice in for swelling injurys.
