My son burned his hand on a wood stove this elk season. Went through 6 first aid kits in camp looking for burn ointment. No one had one. Put that on the list 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.
Wind in my hair, Sun on my face, I gazed at the wide open spaces, And I was at home.

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. Dave
If you're not burning through batteries in your headlamp,...you're doing it wrong.

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.
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

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
