RWTaxidermy Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Just curious how many people carry a small first aid kit with them while out hunting. If so what all does it consist of? I carry a medium size kit in my fanny pack that has, gauze, sterile bandages, alcohol preps, band-aids, neosporin, q-tips, liquid heat, needle, thread, iodine, ace bandages, lighter, dryer lint.

tedicast Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Re: First Aid Kits !! I carry a few bandaids, ibuprofen, claratin, and an ace bandage, and sports tape. I have a history of twisting my left ankle bad, so the ace, and sports tape are just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MarylandQDMA Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Re: First Aid Kits !! I'm in the fire dept. here and I carry a large one in my truck. It has every thing in it. but I don't take any thing in with me. I do pack items to use for self rescue out of a tree though. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Re: First Aid Kits !! Negative. I am usually never more than a three quarters of a mile from the house. Carry a radio and the least possible items I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger-Hunter Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Re: First Aid Kits !! I never used to carry anything, but this year I cut myself on my broadhead and it wouldn't stop bleeding. I had to tear my camo shirt at the tail to use it as a bandage. I figure it was a little reminder to have at least some bandaids with me. I don't travel very far from my truck, but I'd hate to have to leave the woods for something so minor as a cut. I do keep a two-way radio and a cell phone on me at all times, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Re: First Aid Kits !! I have small one that I carry with me hunting,hiking, and even to school. Well I am certified in Responding to Emergencies and Lifeguarding so it's a good idea. I usually have :moleskin, athletic tape, pre-wrap, several different sizes/shapes of band-aids, tweezers, ibuprofen, gloves, a plastic bag, first aid/antibiotic ointment, First Aid instructions, gauze roll and gauze pags. I think that is it but I have other stuff also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuntingInMaine Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Re: First Aid Kits !! I carry a few bandaids, asprin, tums (for my other half who constantly has heart burn), and eye drops. I probably should carry more for larger wounds...might get some gauze and such to put in the pack this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion_70 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Re: First Aid Kits !! I carry one in my pack just in case... I'm Mr. Preparedness though with just about everything, you never know what might happen... the one I usually carris is the one from the NRA, it's got scissors, bandages, gauze, etc.. it'll do for a pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
