Thread: Must haves in the Medical Kit

Razene or adrenaline
Bee sting allergy. Some barley sugar lollies too

Things that I carry that have been used in the last many years:

Panadol
Band aids.
Some burn cream I picked up somewhere. Good for insect bites and sunburn as well. It's old now. Not sure whats in it. Probably eucalyptus oil and cocaine.

And thats it. I carry a proper bandage as well in case I have a slip with a knife, but have not used one yet.

I use to carry much more as a young man, but it was bulky and never got used. I think you have to accept certain risks are higher. I dont prepare for a gunshot wound. I dont think there is much point. I have seen a lot of them. Best to not get shot.

I do prepare for hyperthermia, which is the greatest risk in what we do. I do that by dressing properly.

Antihistamine - a must have !!

Steri strips - a good idea too

I always carry a bit of electrical tape, but also take a wee bit of strapping tape as well, great for any blisters wrenched knees etc.
I like to keep it simple like Nathan said, but I also throw in a few antihistamine tablets and some steri strips especially if the kids are tagging along.
If anything serious happens I have the plb

Thats the one. All that stuff lives in my hunting bum bag with the PLB . I figured if I suffer a gunshot wound Id bleed out anyway and if anything is broken its the plb for a chopper ride home. Anything worse than that and im not going to be around to care

1. Alcohol 75+
2. bandages or quick wound patch
3. scalpel and clamp
4. medicines and salt, in case I eat bad foods
5. and something I could come up in that morning

really agree with glad wrap neatly cut down roll to fit neatly in pouch or whatever you are carrying it in- worst accident I have ever dealt with was axe cut -glad wrap did the trick on patient- I always have a new lighter and small piece candle - antifungal I carry fucidine fixes rashes quickly - feet crutch etc- at least one good bandage - not a lot else except for a small selection of elastoplaste -and some decent pain killers

This is a pretty good listen. Dude is all about tourniquets.
