I check my med bag yearly.Many of you know that as part of your preps routines that you do the first in/first out theory on food, water, ammo, etc. So I'd like to ask, when was the last time you inspected your medical kit for expired supplies? When was the last time you checked for the expiration on your field bandages? Did you know that their was an expiration on them? Do you know what you can do to extend some of them, so they are not a total waste?
The inspection date is written on the front of the bag so I notice it every time I move the bag around the car for whatever reason.
The contents don't get used up as fast as they did while I was still in the military.
As to expiration dates for bandages, as long as the wrapping is intact I don't worry too much about that.
Salves, ointments etc yeah I pay more attention to that sort of thing.
