Can you show some examples of how your home first aid storage?
I have multiple first aid kits in different containers. Some of the containers are the original kit box and some are other containers (tackle box, equipment box, photography bag). How do you store your first aid so it is easily accessed, transportable (to the front or back yard or another room in the house) and rapidly usable? My containers have tended to get overstuffed and unorganized. That makes them hard to use and it is more difficult to find what you need when you get in them. Thanks in advance!!

There is no ~ONE~ solution... Like investments, don't have you eggs in one basket. I like flexible bags over hard boxes. Overflow gets moved into bins, stored in accessible areas.
The M17 SF Medic Pack is tough, well made, and hold a lot. It can also be cinched down tight to make a tight, compact load. Can be thrown around if you pack it right... 
I also use the small medic bags for in the RV and in home, along with the usual bathroom drawer stash of boo-boo-stuff... 
I also use a spreadsheet that lists all my medical gear alphabetically, then a column shows what bag they are in and where that bag is located. I seal them in heat plastic and keep them with the kit, and one copy centralized in the house. Rmpl |
| Red (looks orange to me) Sea to Summit lightweight dry sack that goes in the bag I carry everyday or the pack that I take camping. I have the contents sorted into ziplock bags (gloves; otc meds; bandaids and alcohol wipes; etc.) so I can change the mix to match the activity. I've used the contents for minor stuff like cuts and head aches several times. Orange Pelican 1430 with shoulder strap for the home or a road trip - same type of organization, so that I can find what I need quickly. Orange Home Depot bucket with Gamma Seal lid for bulk storage at home. A potential drawback to these options is that you can't see everything in the container without taking some of the contents out. So, they have to be organized and you have to be familiar with the contents, but that goes for every first aid kit. |

I would appreciate that.
