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?

German car but I had to get my own kit -- just bandaids in the vest.

Hey, if those pedestrians don't like the way you drive, let 'em stay the hell
off the sidewalk. G

add to that list some tea bags- they contain tannic acid, which serves as
an
excellent hemostatic agent. you wet them and apply them to the wound.

And toothpaste and tobacco are good for insect stings.

So is, in my experience, a 50-50 water and household ammonia solution,
especially the itching of mosquito- and gnat-bites. I think that it is
just ammonia in some form in the "Itch Away" pen-style applicators. I
refill one with the solution and keep it handy.

German brand or German-made? I got to thinking about it, and IIRC, the
grey-market (grey- to the US, i.e., built for Euro use) cars had a
compartment on the back deck specifically for the kit, whereas the
US-market cars did not. I have no idea what the Euro-to-Canada
requirements are - do y'all have to do things as had to be done to bring
Euro-market cars into the US (new windshield/screen, headlights, door
bars, etc.)?

I carry a spare cigarette lighter.

And what do you carry in them?

Vest pocket.
