Essential first aid items

[nickidan]

Hey guys,

What would you consider essential first aid items for wondering the wilds alone in the north of uk?

Having carried almost the whole bathroom cabinet in my pack for years I've slimmed right down to one of these now ...

I've added a couple of extra pain killers but that's about it. I think you can prepare for every eventuality and carry treatment for all sorts of stuff but whether you'll actually need it then nobody knows. I think you need to build a kit around the terrain you're likely to be in and be prepared for the risks of fall/laceration/contamination etc in that kind of area. There are some well qualified folk on here who'll probably give you a more informed answer but that's how I go about it.
