Imported post Take a very comprehensively packed emergency-medical kit - which hopefully you've never have to use! To include, and dependent on just how 'outback/going-bush' you wanna make the trip:
* Salt tablets
* 'Customs & Excise Bend Over' (surgical rubber) gloves (pairs, seven, for the use of)
* Sea-sickness/travel-sickness meds
* Sealed-packet, Alcohol-soaked clean wipes - multi purpose: can be used for the cleaning of a wound/infected area; to clean hands/face; can be used to start a fire if required.
* Field-dressing: four of each (size 8 and a size 16)
* Needle-n-thread - for any repairs, or to stitch yourself up in extremis, or see below.
* Sutur and needles.
* Your own syringes.
* Surgical tape.
* Scissors, sharp, pairs, two, small, for the use of.
* Swiss Army knife/multi-purpose tool.
* Bandages, plasters etc.
* Liniment.
* TCP, bottle, one.
* Non-stick Parafin muslin gauze
* Water purification tablets.
* Wax-covered (ergo water-proof) matches.
* Hexamine ('Hexy') blocks (for cooking)
And yes, could be very interested in the gig. Where did you have in mind??
