Hey guys,
I put some real research into this med-kit and I need it reviewed please. Specific details about what to get rid of and what to include would be great. I have the excel sheet for those who want it. A new column for home remedies is coming.
Make your three decisions at the top before you start. It then makes sense as to what is included.
