Im just now deciding i may carry one in the field but want to go small. give me some ideas!! I carryed one along time ago but got away from it. it was just band aids :eek:

RE: first aid prepardness ??/
Band-Aids and Electrical tape will hold ANYTHING together :D
It's probably a good idea to carry a first aid kit, and I usually have a few things with me, when I'm going to be back into the woods quiet a ways. When hunting around the house, I usually don't even carry a pack. I can put everything I need in my pockets and take off :D |
RE: first aid prepardness ??/
I keep one in my truck underneath the back seat... Alcohol wipes, gauze, band aids, tape, eye drops, that super glue forcuts,neosporne (sp?), tweezers, hand sanitizerand other random stuff I can't recall. [/align] |
RE: first aid prepardness ??/
I have a pack that I bring with me, Its for my un-necessaries I guess....
I keep a snake bite kit, some band aids, a pair of rubber gloves and a can of that spray saline you can get at Wally world in it. That spray saline junk can clean out any cut likety split and a band aid on top will keep ya hunting.... For the deeper cuts I use papertowel and electrical tape |

If you get hurt call me and I will put you out of your misery. Of course there is no wound big enough that you couldn't plug it one of those enourmosly fat fingers.

RE: first aid prepardness ??/
Bandaids, a few individually wrapped 4X4 gauze dressings, tape, little packets of triple antibiotic ointment (neosporin), pair of tweezers, a few alcohol wipes, whistle.Some other helpful things: Aspirin (experience chest pain hauling a deer carcass out of the woods-pop a couple and call 911.), epi pen for those with severe allergic reactionsto insect bites/stings. Perhaps a few otc tabs for headache and a decongestant of your choice.

I don't carry a first aid kit. I don't think I ever will. I always carrya lighter so I figure I can survive until I'm rescued. If I get hurt real bad I don't think a kit would make any difference. If I die hunting it would be the way I would want to go anyway:D
I do have a good first aid kit in camp. |
RE: first aid prepardness ??/
Electrical tape?!!? C'mon, guys! Join the ranks of professional rednecks and replace that garbage with camo duct tape.;)
A few bandaids, a couple of sterile pads, roll of camo duct tape (for real. It's not just for first aid) tube of antibiotic ointment and a cell phone that I keep turned OFF unless I was in a fix where I really need help. |
RE: first aid prepardness ??/
ya know I never gave it much thought, but think its a good idea and will carry a light first aid. I do however carry a fire starter with me
|
RE: first aid prepardness ??/
Some great ideas Gents/Ladies ;)Tuco, you must die!! :D
Magic: :DThats how i wanna go to :D |
RE: first aid prepardness ??/
I carry a couple bandaids and stuff(for little boo boos), but if you've patched as many holes as I have, you can pretty much keep anything from becoming a catastrophy with what's at hand. If I were REALLY remote I'd carry a full fledged first aid kit.

Camo duct tape and arm hair do not play well together.... One thing that duct tape does a heckuva lot better than electrical tape is hold the seat of your pants together when they rip out. I've had to use it for that a few more times than I've needed to use it to patch my hide back together. Those cold breezes really put a damper on a hunt.[:-] Or tape together a rip in your ground blind. Run a band around the cuffs of your pants to keep the ticks out, if you get into them. Scuff the paint on your stand and have bright shining metal glaring out? Slap a strip of the camo tape over it. All kinds of things to use it for that electrical tape just won't handle. |

Yes I carry a real nice one that is made by the company I work for. They just contracted out to a new company for our kits so they let me have most of the older ones that were replaced. I donated some to the boy scouts
and to the kids softball and baseball leagues in my area. I really make sure I have one with me when gun season comes around but thank gosh have not really needed it. I actually still have 4 of these kits left and if I get off my lazy butt I can go over to some of our other buildings and snag a few more. T |
RE: first aid prepardness ??/
Well snag one for me there Peak!

RE: first aid prepardness ??/
I'm pretty much all about safety, if you have a product thats available to the bowhunting market that is easy to carry, serves a hunting purpose, and isn't crap,
I'll help you market it... |
