• KytoStat — an ultra-specialized bandage to stop bleeding when you know that simply holding a gauze pad won’t work, such as inside someone from missed filet knife issues.
• Bonine — to prevent motion sickness, the patch and wristbands might be a good idea too.
• Saline eyewash — to wash out debris from your eye
• Aleve (naproxen) — for pain
• Aspirin — in case of anything from fever to a heart attack
• Gly-Oxide — an oral antiseptic cleanser for gum irritation
• Alcohol-based hand sanitizer
• Gauze pads and adhesive bandages in a variety of sizes
• Nexcare flexible clear tape
• ACE bandage — for sprains, strains, pulled muscle
• Neosporin — topical triple antibiotic ointment
• Cortizone 10 — stick topical cortisone for itching/rash
• Safety pins, super glue and duct tape (rolled around a pencil or pen)
• Oral Benadryl — antihistamine for allergies
• Caladryl lotion — for itching/rashes
• Maalox chewable tabs — antacid
• Sudafed — oral decongestant
• Afrin nasal spray — nasal decongestant
• Pepto-Bismol — chewable tabs to prevent traveler’s diarrhea
• Imodium AD — to treat diarrhea
• Cipro — a prescription antibiotic for severe diarrhea
• EpiPen — prescription in case someone has a severe, anaphylactic allergy reaction
• Digital oral thermometer
• Sawyer Controlled Release — DEET-based insect repellant
• Blister kit, including moleskin, Spenco Second Skin, and Band-Aid blister bandages
• Robitussin liquid gel — cough suppressant
• Ricola throat lozenges
• Tweezers and of course Bolt Cutters
  
• Anthelios with Mexoryl SX — UVA/UVB sunscreen
• Temparin — temporary dental filling kit
• Steripen — UV device to decontaminate water
• Monistat cream – for women in case of a vaginal yeast infectio
• Blistex lip ointment/balm

If I’m taking any prescription drugs, I bring these along as well as extra prescriptions from my doctor in case I lose the meds or need more when on the road. To be on the safe side, you may want to keep the meds in their original containers so you don’t have trouble with Coastguard inspections.


I am sure that the safety conscious members of this board could fill in the gaps for me for a complete kit as I am sure I have overlooked some things.


Hope this helps.

Well that solves it for me if Handymansd is out were all good.

That's a nice list handyman....

For a safari in the outback! I will add a few of those items to my first aid kit for mexico.

But for kayaking LJ? On the off chance something really bad happens make sure you can stay afloat and breathe while you call 911.

No Viagra?

[richard67b]

Thank you for all the good ideas. Now off to fish this afternoon.

Yeah I like that list for a long secluded excursion but for LJ or any inshore fishing I would say its more water survival gear vs. first aid gear.

- Pliers
- Knife
- Whistle
- PFD
- Manual Pump
- Compass
- VHF and a backup (cell phone)
- Flashlight/Headlamp
- Extra batteries

Worst first aid emergency would probably be a stuck hook, the small bolt cutters may be your only solution there, or paddling back and dealing with it at shore!

I was thinking condom, but held back until I saw this.

One other thing not listed is a pee bottle. I'm sure there is a technical/medical name for it.

I usually leave this on shore for my buddies who have all the gear and never fish.
