First Aid Kit
Who carries a First Aid Kit in your S? Do you carry the Honda branded kit, some other pre-packaged kit, or your own set up? Where do you keep it in the S?

I carry one, and I have the Honda branded kit, mine has some Velcro on it and it sits in the trunk without moving around. I like it. I bought mine a couple years back from the dealer, they may have changed a bit but should still be available. I always seem to cut myself doing something when travelling and it is nice having some band-aids available when I need one.

I got a small pillow style first aid kit from Würth, I got it when I did some summer work there around 20 years ago.
Hope I never need to use it, it's mostly there because it's good at pinching things down in the trunk area

I have a modified one: Adventure Medical Kits/Ultralight .7.
Got it a Sierra Trading Post. I have several for other cars too. I added some bandages, serious pain killers, blood clotting bandages, blister bandages, and a few other "custom" items. I use this bag for my hiking backpacking as well so it is easy to remove, pop in my backpack and hit the trail. Stores easily in the secret compartment.
I also have a long narrow fire extinguisher behind the driver seat on the floor. I have Halon in the garage at home and it is great for car fires but the 2 times I have used a car extinguisher have been for other people's car fires. Besides, if I have to use it away from home on my S, I have bigger issues than cleaning up the powder. All my vehicles have an extinguisher in them.

Thanks for the replies. I've kept various first aid kits in previous cars throughout my driving life. Keeping a kit for years at a time and thought summer heat cycles, bandage, tape and other supplies can deteriorate.
How often are you changing out "perishable" supplies in your kits?

My S is garaged, too, yet the garage is not insulated or air conditioned. We get long spells of very hot weather in the summer and sensitive items don't last long. I'll put my safety items on a checklist and change them out periodically.

I also keep a fire extinguisher in my trunk, and a JDM Flare kit, along with my first aid kit to complete my safety items.

Zero and Cosmo, others?
What type of extinguishing agents do you carry in the fire extinguishers in your cars (S). And what size? 1A 5BC or Halon, other? Are you extinguishers held in place with brackets? If so, how did you mount them?
