A friend skinned his elbow playing basketball, and came to me for some

my mind to have a First Aid kit with me while I'm out on the water, but
considering all the times I've fallen trying to hop from rock to rock in wet
waders, slipped on rough ground, face planted into bushes, etc, I think I
ought to.

My question: how many of us out there carry a small first aid kit in their
vest when they're fishing, or in their float tube? How many folks carry them
in their car instead, and how many don't carry anything at all?

And what do you carry in them?

I would add that a tube of "super glue" should be in all kits. This is
very handy for sealing annoying minor cuts or "new-skinning" blisters,
and could be a life-saver in the event of a major cut/wound. Make sure
to get the "dropper" type and not the "push pen" type. The kind I look
for is the stubby, round bottle with the screw-on cap.
