don't forget a medical kit, have the basics, gauze, different sizes of bandages, triple antibiotic creams(lots of it!), sterile wound pads for cleaning and covering, alcohol, betadine, hydrogen peroxide, adhesive tape for sensitive skin, aspirin, tylenol, Imodium, Pepto Bismo liquid & chewable, sterile cotton balls, tweezers, scissors, gloves(disposable), butterfly tape/bandages, cutting & tamper needles for stitching skin & softer tissue, sterile suture material ie Plain Gut-Chromic Gut-Silk Steel, and maybe a few synthetics, (and in a pinch, even cotton thread)water, small pots of jam & crackers flashlight, space blankets bug spray, disposable masks, first aid guide----this is semi basic, it's a little over the top but warranted considering whatever circumstances you might find yourself inNote Noticed i only had plain gut suture material so i'm going to see if i can order the other two, i would definitely have more of the plain gut, because most likely that is the material you would use the most..if i'm misinformed please say something! i'm not a medical expert i've used most of the things in my kit but i've never sutured a wound altho i've seen it done a few times(You need steady hands)
