Stupid question....

[ELKCHSR]

That is about it, and maybe some super glue for those bigger bleeders that may occur!!!

Duct tape and small sterile gauzes, leave the band-aids for home.

I agree with 1 pointer, bandaids are too flimsy for anything real.

When bivy hunting I take a roll of athletic tape too. Its to tape up the knees for the heavy meat loads out.

A)something for blisters
B)tweezers or maybe nail clippers
C)superglue will fix a cut BIG or small and it only burns a little

I know this is a stupid question but what should my backpacking first aid kit consist of?? All I can think of is: Bandaids, Neosporin (sp?), Chapstick, Blistex, and some kind of Advil. What do the rest of ya take?? Thanks bunches!! LOL

 

[trophy_killer]

Good idea pointer, thanks!! Also Pointer, do ya think I should take a little bit of mole skin in case I get a little blister??

 

[crapshoot]

Gause, medical tape, mole skin. and i try to throw in a stick of magnesium and a sparker.

 

[OAKSTER]

I should think that a pint of Crown Royal would do in a pinch for that emergency bag

Though its not a first aid kit item ,I bring my cell phone for more serious problems.

Forego the mole skin for the duct tape, works much better.

trophy_killer:

For big wounds you should include either a couple military field dressings or a couple of Kotex pads. Take a couple of Ace bandages for sprains and/or to hold the Kotex pads in place on top of the wound.

1_pointer is right that duct tape will work for a blister. But I still prefer Mole Skin.

Chap Stick, Aspirin.

I also take several Bandaids. Maybe I'm a whimp but I always seem to get little cuts specially on my hands.
