Using this first - aid kit is easy. For stings and itches, use the After Bite Sting and Itch Relief products right away. When dealing with wounds, first clean the area with an antiseptic towelette.

For blisters, use the pre - cut moleskin.
Keep in mind that if you're in NZ, it's a good idea to add ibuprofen tablets, antihistamine tablets, and antibiotic ointment as recommended. Also, always check the expiration dates of the medications and supplies regularly.
To maintain this kit, store it in a cool, dry place. Make sure the waterproof bag is properly sealed to keep the contents dry. If any item is used, replace it as soon as possible to ensure the kit is always ready for emergencies.
