I updated the equipment page to include our compulsory items for your first aid kit. I asked chat GPT to reformat it with items that need to be routinely replaced at the top.
After updating the page I asked Chat GPT Can you think of anything else that should be in a first aid kit for people who four wheel drive?
ChatGPT said:
