Another good tip for ant bites eg: bullants ect is to use a piece of new growth Bracken and break the stem and rub it on the bite, works a treat. CHEERS

sterile surgical gloves, plastic bags, eye pads, gel bandaids, scissors,
for sydney people who want to set up a first aid kit try Aussie first aid supplies 96748455 I got my kit through them and it was a better equipped and cheaper kit than the others I have seen, my kit with a couple of personal extra's I added set me back $92 it is in a soft carry bag with a waist strap.

I saw a few guys on the trails (they were camping) yesterday - in the back of one of the rigs my missus spotted a blow up doll. I figured they must dress her up in a nurses outfit and explain her as part of their first aid kit.

I also carry that handcleaner / antibacterial gel - you don't need water and if you get injured while working on the rig while out & about, it gets the grease and dirt off easy, cleans the wound, and tape (or band-aid) sticks better.

I carry tampons in my first aid kit as im a bow hunter and the tampon seems to be just the right size to plug a arrow wound

I can vouch for this one. I was mauled by about 50 bullants when i was about 7. My uncle was on hand and being the bushman he was, knew about this so he rubbed the bites with bracken. Worked wonders. I still don't like bullants......
