Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Whats in your first aide kit or bug out bag?

Notice that my list includes 2 ea 2nd Skin, moist burn pads and 1 tube Aquaphor Ointment. Both for burn treatment. Since we use campfires and camp stoves, I have seen a few cases where people have burned themselves one way or another.

I posted this in my elk hunting thread, but it's worth repeating in this conversation.

My hunting partner had a bandage with clotting agent in it, and it turned a near-disastrous day into just a pretty uncomfortable one.

Well, how was he injured?

pal, its worth the read: https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt.../part-2-blood-and-suffering#Post15401664

Put the last quarter roll of gorilla duct tape in your kit also. It will hold all the bandages in place and makes for making splints a lot easier.

Thanks. You're right about that.

This is what I carry when hunting. I carry a SWAT-T tourniquet, the CAT-T is a better one (and a smidge lighter), but the SWAT-T doubles as an ACE bandage. Triangular bandage, 5 4"x4"s, Steri-Strips (modern butterfly bandages), a few ass't bandaids, small med bag, quick clot combat gauze, small roll gauze, irrigation syringe (just a repurposed model syringe), trauma dressing, small scissors and a small roll of leukotape. All goes in small dry bag. 11.5 oz total
