Some good idea above, have a swatch at these:
Bren's First Aid Kit:
* Rubber gloves - as worn in hospitals.
* Breathing mask - every Rescue Diver and above should carry one!
* Condomns - properly knotted can easily hold 2 litres of drinking water or, conversely, keep any water or dirt off kit that needs keeping clean/dry.
* Scalpel - you never know what you might need to cut through!
* If you can't get hold of proper sutures, then a normal needle and tough cotten will do for stitching up any wounds as a temporary measure before proper treatment can be sought - as long as the needle has been dipped and repeatedly flamed (with your Zippo!) in alcohol (preferably clear - e.g. Vodka, Polish, 60% or above).
* Sanitary Towels - brilliant kit!! Soaks up anything and can easily be used as a field-dressing where pressure might need to be applied to a wound for stablisation.
* A working knowledge of 02 Provision & Maintenance; Medic 1st-Aid skills upto date and the ability to deliver effective CPR.
Optional Extras:
* Fags, pack, your own brand, one, for the use of.
* Hip-flask, single-malt, for the interviewing of....;)
