Also antihestamines are important. A bee/wasp sting to the face will soon become a serious concern especially if it affects vision or breathing. Quite a few hunters get caught out with this.

Survival blanket. Don't get the basic one you wrap around your self, there is a sleeping bag model you can get inside. Little bit bigger, but I know which I'd prefer if having to spend a night in the bush.

Lastly, a tampon. If your shot (or someone else), shove that in there and wrap a bandage around it.

Only a cunt carries a tampon...if I shot someone with my STW I would need to go to the hut to get a mattress to cover the exit wound.
