Medications: Asprin, Ibuprofen, Tylenol,Benadryl, Psuedoephedrine, Immodium, Rollaids, Misc: Neosporin or Bacitracin ointments, Aloe Vera lotion (sunburn), 10% Cortisone ointment (itches and rashes), super glue, Trauma Dex powder(stops bleeding), steri strips, tweezers, small bandage scissor. Pack a small first aid reference if you lack needed experience for dealing with medical encounters. For extended trips in very remote ares consider requesting from your doctor thing like antibiotics and stronger pain meds as well as suturing supplies if trained in there use. My FAK fits in a small granite gear tough sack and weighs in at about a pound and a half. |
