This is probably only going to be interesting to people that are "preppers" but it is something people ask a lot about.

So, what do you do for medical prep? What kind of medications? What kind of med kit? Do you build your own kit or do you have a pre-built one? Do you have a "medical plants" book or something?

I have seen some companies pop up around that will now prescribe you various things like antibiotics, hcq, zpack, etc that you can't just buy at the store and a normal doctor won't prescribe them to you because you are "prepping". But, they get around that by having doctors on staff and they will prescribe a medical kit with various non OTC medications and instructions/guides of when to use what. I feel like that could be useful if you live somewhere that there are large scale natural disasters or if you live far away from medical facilities. What does everyone else think about those companies? Have you used one before?

  • Built my own first aid kit (based on scouting knowledge when we had to do so) - remember to include splints, ripped up sheets (gauze and shit doesn't cut it)
  • Stocked OTC stuff from
  • Got a still (to make sterilizing alcohol if needed, once the stuff I stock runs out)
  • Thought about getting a non-OTC med kit like the one you described (The Wellness Company is one)

Great topic. I have wanted to discuss something like this in for a while. Interested to know other fruitful preps

Great start to the thread. Thanks, I'm going to look into the OTC list.

I will also mention to those that live in the US.... Sometimes stores ran by people from other countries have things that are technically not something you can buy in the US but they easily get past customs and no one is going into the small Russian store to check what medications they are selling along with the charcoal tablets and imported preserves.

You do have to know what you are looking for or at least speak a little of the language of the store you are in to get assistance in what you are looking for though.
