Personal First Aid kit, nothing massive. Things you
MAY want to
CONSIDER adding
Plasters, Large wound dressings, (a must really especially where you're using sharp stuff)
Tampons - Non Applicator Cheap ones are better...lighting fires and penetrating / stab /GS wound dressings
Painkillers i.e paracetamol, Paracodol, over the counter stuff.
Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatories, i.e Ibuprofen, Diclofenac (Voltarol)
Dioralyte sachets - great for rehydrating once again these are over the counter
Anti Diarrhoea tablets the squits in the field ain't fun.
Anti Histamines, can be bought over the counter again (unless you have them on script).
Cohesive bandage (vet wrap - sold in pound shops) great for lower leg support after sprains.
Duct tape ! Not lots but a couple or 3 metres wrapped round some plastic or another item. Has so many applications in Wilderness / Remote / Outdoor / Mountain First Aid e.g as a wound closure, and splinting for example and on top of that for repairing thermarests, hydration bladders and even rucksacks.
Don't forget any prescription meds you may have to take.
On your person somewhere you
COULD have some personal details... it helps if you're found unconscious or unable to answer.
