I thought I'd share my Bushcraft First Aid Kit with you.
It is small enough not to be a burden or too heavy or awkward to carry, yet complete enough to to cope with nearly any scenario that could come up.
The Aim of this kit it two fold, firstly to take care of all the little PITA things like a Headache, Toothache, The trots, Small Blisters, little nicks on fingers etc...etc...
And Secondly to control a major Bleed until further, more suitable help arrives, E.G. an Ambulance,
It is not designed to treat a Major bleed and then allow the Casualty to continue to climb Mount Everest, but rather to stop the Casualty from bleeding out while waiting for the ambulance to arrive.
In our field we have to accept an element of self-responsibility regarding our personal First aid.
Many of us venture to place where conventional Ambulances can't get to, or to places when although conventional Ambulances can get to you they take much longer than normal to arrive, as such we need to be prepared and able to help ourselves for any given period should the need arise.
anyway enough waffle here are the pic's:
