    really agree with glad wrap neatly cut down roll to fit neatly in pouch or whatever you are carrying it in- worst accident I have ever dealt with was axe cut -glad wrap did the trick on patient- I always have a new lighter and small piece candle - antifungal I carry fucidine fixes rashes quickly - feet crutch etc- at least one good bandage - not a lot else except for a small selection of elastoplaste -and some decent pain killers
