I am going to add eye drops but what else does it need?

[adeeden]

superglue!

[Soilarch]

What is it for?  That would have a big effect on what is needed.

[calgarychef]

Not a bad kit but you didnt say what the intended use was for.  I'd cut everything down to oneof each if it was for a day trip.

my daytrip kit includes

3 bandaids
1 feminie pad
1 tampon with applicator
2 tylenol #3's

I think I can save my life with these things

[KSdan]

Depends on use.  Wilderness?  Day or two in whitetail woods?  

Agree with calgary. . and adee. .

Wilderness:

1) Double check with Dr. on painkillers (Ty #3)- I think those are perscrips, but I would carry some strong pain meds to get me out of the wilderness if I needed them.

2) Elastic wrap for sprains.

[homerdave]

double the benydryl, if you need it for anaphylactic shock you need a 2x dose every 4 hrs.
oh, and a bit of "snakebite medicine" too.  :eek:

[Soilarch]

Ya'll are packing narcotics on your hunting trips for "just in case"?

...I suppose it's more traditional than carbon arrows...    
:D                                            :D          


Okay, seriously...I never hunt more than an hour's hike from the truck.  I keep a roll of athletic tape with me, sometimes.  That's it.  The pills and longer-term bandaging can wait till I get home.

[Grey Taylor]

If this is to take in the pack while hunting I'd also add something like a feminine pad and a triangular bandage. Clotting stuff would be good, too.
It will only take one good deep broadhead cut 5 miles from the truck to want something like this.

Duct tape, works great to cover hotspots on your feet to prevent blisters, plus it has many other uses!

[JimB]

He's going on a WY antelope hunt,DIY.

[stevemfwills]

make sure you keep you perscriptions and painkillers in the bottle it is illegal to carry them outside of the original bottle...legend drug act.....

[wisconsinteacher]

I am going to WY antelope hunting like JimB stated.  This is what is in a kit I found at Cabela's for 15.00.  It is an Adventure Medical Kit Ultralight/watertight .5

[Smilingg]

Quik-clot, both in powder and sponge form. They keep improving it, and it was fan-freaking-tastic to begin with...

[Ricker]

A tourniquet mat be a good idea too.

[Joshua Lee]

I like to keep a barbless fishing hook and some string with me. You never know when you might need to stitch up a wounded animal.jj  

[lpcjon2]

A must have is the maxi pad's,foil space blanket,peroxide or betadine,and the above superglue.And the tourniquet( 14" string with loops an the end works)Motrin as well as aspirin(aspirin will thin the blood and not allow for clotting as fast)And sheers for cutting clothing and bandages.

[Jim Jackson]

Ditto on the superglue, it can really close a wound fast.

[ChrisM]

superglue could replace alot of those bandaids.  If you don't like supperglue then you can get stuff for cuts and wounds that is basically the same thing.  A warning though they sting like hell.

[vernon]

my first aid kit is full to the brim.  I even have a suture gun.  Superglue and duct tape is definately a great idea.  Like mentioned above if your only hunting an hour or less from the truck you can cut a lot of that stuff in half.  However, I hunt hours and miles from the truck and sometimes don't see civilzation for 10 days so a good/big medicine kit is a must along with whiskey.  Take what you think you need and what you feel comfortable with.  As far as wyoming antelope hunting goes your main nemsis will be the sun, cactus, ants/insects, and snakes.  

Good Luck hunting the speed goat and welcome to wyoming!!
