The injuries and illnesses you are most likely to encounter dictate the contents of your hiking medical kit. While not fancy this kit will allow you to effectively treat a variety of issues on the trail. Note, I’ve never found a truly effective treatment for blisters once you have them, other than PREVENTION! Also, I used to carry a Sawyer Extractor but dropped it after reading several articles questioning their effectiveness.
Small spray bottle of rubbing alcohol for feet
3” Ace Wrap
3” Roll of Kling Gauze
X5 1” plasters (cloth)
X3 knuckle plasters (cloth)
X3 fingertip plasters (cloth)
X2 3” plasters (cloth)
Tube of antibiotic ointment
Tube of antifungal cream
X30 ibuprofen
X6 Imodium
X6 Stool softener
Splinter picker tweezers
1 roll of 1” cloth medical tape
While not necessarily part of a medical kit do not forget sunscreen and insect repellant.
Cheers,
W-W
