I'll be honest, I don't know a lot about first aid, and I need to rectify that, but a kit with supplies is part of it. I figured it was about time I got one.
What I do know about camping and hunting is that most of what happens isn't life threatening. Minor cuts, scrapes, chafing, blisters, sprains, etc. I think I can handle that.
I got some quick clot as well. I like to shoot and hunt, and often we're well away from the nearest emergency room. I hope to hell I never have to use it, but it's in my kit.
I added a couple of extras besides the quick clot because they seemed like they could be useful. Emergency blankets, water purification tablets, and a fire starter.
It's tempting to go nuts and pack the kitchen sink, but I figured something small and light is far more likely to be taken on trips than something huge and cumbersome. It's not much bigger than a shaving kit, and can easily be thrown in a range bag or what have you. It's even got a little detachable mini kit for carrying on your person if you are away from camp.
