These are in the survival kit...

One of my assistant scout leaders has a first aid kit that consists solely of a roll gaffa tape.
Fortunately the other one is a trained nurse!!

Mine is somewhat like the aforepictured hiker's kit - I figure that if everyone on the activity has one like that, then with the "upscale" kit (which has the sorts of things that are less likely to be needed), pooling everything means there should be enough to do what is required.

In a serious note no many people think into the possibilities of a serious alergic attack or angioedema.

It hapens to me so in my first aid kit i have Fenezal which it is an anti allergies based on promethazine and also I have Prednisolone (cortizone) to supress the inmune system.
Angioedema can kill in few minutes if medicine iit is not available

Having Zyrtec also it is good for mild allergies.

Cheers

Anyone remember the kits the army had in the 70's
I had a few put away somewhere. Will have to find them.
