Thread: Medical Incident - Some learnings for your first aid kit.

Another one to be very wary of in the outdoors is the very real possibility of burns. As above, hands up if you haven't accidentally burnt yourself, especially out camping/ hunting. Among other dressing options, I've started carrying a half sized roll of glad wrap, squashed flat and full of other first aid stuff, its main benefit it protects a burn, including from air, and it won't adhere to a wound. In a stretch its also good for holding guts in if one of your dogs gets gored real good by a decent tusker

Just a reminder: Lay it on as a strip, don't wrap it around anything because swelling happens.
