Trail first aid kit

Dusty's girl · 06-18-2008, 07:02 AM

Hey everyone... with trail riding season upon us I realized that I needed to actually pack some useful things in my trail bag, not just the camera

So I want to pack a nice small little first aid kit, nothing fancy just the basics to handle us until we get back for both horse and rider... here is what I have so far...

vet wrap
wound spray stuff
clean water in a bottle
travel pack of baby wipes
band aid for me
and my ever important epi pen (I am allergic to bees)
asprin (again for me)
and some clean eye drops for both of us to flush out anything in the eyes...

so what am I forgetting in terms of first aid for either of us?

i did see that, people just kept mentioning having a first aid kit in their trail pack and I was wondering what they had in that part of it.

I would add some oral benedryl also as long as you able to take it.
