Couple of tampons. I shit you not, got a better idea for something applied to a wound that will suck up blood.

Tampax, we are about 10 years too old for us to ever need them again.

If you ever had to pack out or wound dress for transport a shooting victum they work but you don't have to dress a patient these days. You simply have to preserve life until the chopper gets there, the ambo's do all the rest. When I left the service I had a box full of those army field wound dressings, I have never even opened one.

You are much more likely to not splint but to support a broken limb.

You use what you have got, the preverbial shirt off your back so to speak if necessary. The most important thing you can bring is some training, all the tools in the world won't make you a first aider.

Try one of these http://www.trademe.co.nz/sports/hunt...-443263990.htm instead of scissors or shears or one of these (leatherman Z-tool) http://img2.tuita.cc/a1/t/42/99/1186382235-1828374.jpg. Both of these have other tools like oxygen wrench, hex wrench, glass breakers etc., and will eliminate the risk of cutting the injured.

One of these for a case?? http://www.trademe.co.nz/sports/camp...-443963622.htm Totaly waterproof, floating, easy to see and quickly accessable.

check out some survival tins/ kits on youtube. i know theyre more hunting/bushcraft orientated but there are a lot of good ideas there, especially with NZ bieng such a rural country.
