And a disaster kit, tailored to the most common disasters in your region. If you have a first aid kit you already have a large portion of what it needs!

Very important that whatever first aid kit you get has a tourniquet, or that you buy one separately.

They are easily the most important life saving device in any first aid kit. 99% of the time you won't need it for normal cuts but when you are dealing an injury that needs one you WILL regret not having one.

Not sure how's the law where you live, but here everyone must have a first aid kit in their car.
