This is the 1st video of Los Angeles musician Missy (of FreaknMissy / Dogs of War) from Sherman Oaks. It was video-taped by her at her lockout. Missy shares what is inside one of her medium-size First Aid Kits. This is one that she carries in her car. This kit is still a “work in progress” and many items are still missing from the kit.

Missy does not claim to be an authority, but is rather sharing her method and style of how she made her medium size kit (she has kits of various sizes) in hopes that she might inspire others to be more prepared in cases of emergency. She is always hopeful for the best – but wants to be prepared for the worst.

If you have ANY QUESTIONS at all, please feel free to contact me here and ask me anything and hopefully I will be able to help. If you carry any of these items and you are not sure how to use them, it will not be as effective. So allow yourself to be informed.
