    What First Aid Supplies do you carry?

    I keep a pretty substantial first aid kit in the truck. Depending on how far I am away for my truck I carry a few Band-aids, a couple of 4x4 bandages, small roll of gauze and some tape. I keep it all in a little water proof case from Academy that is about the size of a pack of cigarettes. Always have a bandana in my pack also, they are pretty versatile in an emergency. Just wondering what if anything everyone carries with them.

    sutures, superglue and rum.

    oh, and a first aid kit for the dogs too.
    It has some lidocaine, syringes, saline, bandages, and the remains of a human first aid kit I salvaged from my old truck.

        My GF grave me a first aid kit a few years ago and it's pretty big, has all the normal stuff and then glow stick, tweezers, tin foil blanket. I also usually have some sort of chips or jerky with me in the truck cause you won't find me going hungry. Also always make sure I have enough bullets, cigs and a lighter. You know the bare necessities.

          Here is the #1 item I carry...think about it:

          Visible eye drops....

          ....most outdoorsman suffer minor to moderate cuts & scratches....the red in your eyes goes away B/c it constricts blood vessels......so if you get a bleeding cut, this product constricts the vessel & stops the bleeding.

          Enough pharmacology for tonight!

            I forgot to add, it's a sterile product which is perfect for wound care.

              I keep a kit in the truck, in the boat, and a small kit in my hunting pack. The best item at least for the truck kit is a set of rubber gloves cause you never know where the other person has been.

                Since I take the blood thinner Plavix and a tiny cut bleeds like a stuck hog, I carry a Quick-Clot pack that Cabelas sells. If I cut myself with a broadhead or knife I could be in trouble . . .

                  Good quality electrical tape for minor injuries, good quality duct tape for major injuries....

                  Only kind of kidding, tape rocks.

                    Good thinking. Saline solution is valuable and can be made/brewed at home.

                        Bottle of peroxide and Super-Glue! And then the standard stuff in a store bought kit.

                          Super glue, quick clot, and a couple band aids. I have a lot of first aid training, but I took a course called wilderness first aid. How to take care of an injury when miles and hours away from anywhere/anyone.
