First Aid??!!?

If you were trapped on an island, what frst aid supplies would you need besides the obvious such as bandages, anticeptic and thermometers?

I need FIRST AID ITEMS.. NOT food and what not. [thank you Shar D for remembering this] !!!!

ace wrap, twisers, needle and thread, nail clippers, steri strips, 50 gallons of fresh water(After that I would have rain water supply) solar blankets.

Remember people he asked for first aid, not food and other supplies.

Hot and cold paks,wraps,gauze,space blanket

If you were trapped on an island, why on earth would you need thermometers?

You know... I'm 54 years old, and I don't think we've had a thermometer in the house in like... oh... I dunno.... 20 years?

If I were trapped on an island, I'd want food... lots of it... and a good boat yard.... and satellite TV... with a high speed internet connection... and a great set of stereo speakers, so that I could listen to music from all over the world (TSS Radio out of Paris is one of my favorites) but I wouldn't give a rats behind whether or not there was a thermometer anywhere on the damned island.

What would you need a thermometer for? I would want to have something to purify water.

Clean water or something to clean water with, absorbant dressings (not the same as bandages they hold things in place where dressings protect wounds). Thermometer is a waste of time but some nice topical antibiotics wouldn't hurt and they don't break either and lots and lots of bandages you can use them for all sorts of things.

It should be located in a central location. Where all can easily get to it. Get some kind of hard plastic cover to mount over it that they can remove easily to protect it from dust and debris.
