Thread: First Aid Kit

I keep a fairly comprehensive kit at the hut but only carry a roll of insulation tape and a couple of plasters in my day bag

Including a helicopter seemingly.

In my day pack and on my belt is a Israeli bandage and a tourniquet (CAT). I often only hunt with a smaller belt set-up so by having these in both the pack and belt I don't risk leaving them behind if I choose one over the other. That covers most "worst case" scenarios...

In my day pack and main pack I have a small general first aid kits that have a few plasters and the likes for those smaller niggles.

One of the ones with the quick-clot powder infused in the bandage? Don't laugh, but another item worth carrying is a couple of tampons. They are, after all, designed to plug bleeding holes.

Ok, you can commence laughing now.

Nope just your standard one, they are bloody awesome and can provide a tone of pressure on the said wound via the "Ratchet" system contained within.
