All good mate... I suggest adding 2x compression bandages. Crepe bandages are best for dressing wounds, compression for break/sprain and snake bites.

PS: tampons are also good for large puncture wounds like an accidental gun shot. That's what they where invented for in the first place.

Wekeep a basic kit in the car which includes matches, a couple of batteries, small handheld uhf, emergency alfoil blanket, iodine free water purification tablets, aponcho and a small torch, all in a small watertight container that will fit in a large pocket. Also keep string and rope, an axe, a couple of tarps, etc in the ute.

In my backpack or bumbag I keep somesanitizer, a couple of bandages, stingose, matches, torches, some muesli bars, some needles and cotton, more water purification tablets, batteries, poncho, sunscreen, tinea cream, sunscreen, some of those charcoal hand warmers, flint and steel, a couple of firelighters and a compass with a tiny torch, flint, thermometer, fishing line and hooks inside the back of the thermometer.

Bit overkill, but very compact and takes up beugger all space and adds bugger all weight. I've never needed any of it, but if a situation arises where I ever do, I know its there

Ye, was thinking about that - but wanted everything in one, day trip only. If it's more than a day, then obviously there needs to be a little bit more gear in there. Though I am thinking of swapping out crepe for a compression bandage. Don't really need both for short time.

sandgroperbill, my car is well stocked when I am out. Probably over stocked, but it's in the car so who cares... On me, I try to have as little as possible if it's a day trip with back to base for sleeping, which is what I've done to date. Though "tinea cream, some of those charcoal hand warmers, thermometer" is probably an overkill

That said, I was using chemical hand warmers last weekend, was okay when I started moving, but waking up - got cold pretty fast when I climbed out of the bag.

A little more tacticool than what id like but i've become so used to going bush like this, i can't do backpacks as i hate having to stop,and get what i want whilst having eyes down, not to mention rummaging for something. Made this little rig up to go under a large hunting jacket and ideally not to print to much to make it look like i have oddly shaped boobs lol

Otherwise it'll just be overt and it is what it is

Has a full gsw medkit with chest seal and a torniquet with some trauma shears

The big flat pouch folds down to a table like surface where i keep my maps, permits, id, licenses pen pencil and small torch,

long pouch underneath carries a boresnake and anything else i need to run the gun with that day

next to that is a general pouch which will usually contain some rations just in case along with some dunny paper and any survival kit i deem necessary at the time, next to that is a multitool

I've been running a setup like this for a while adding and removing stuff to get the balance of stuff vs size right, i can run a camel back on the back straping but usually go with what the camel back came with as it break up all the harness lines and stuff

Spare ammo gets tucked in a zippered pouch in stripper clups that runs the full length of the rig just under the front of the harness, easy to get to if need be

I am going to blog something on my pack selection, just need to climb into storage space and find my old backpack for a photo

I saw someone using similar setup, I really liked it, though I wonder how you carry stuff out (if you do)?

[AusTac]

Haven't really thought about that yet if i'm honest, was going to quarter up what i can and drag it back in a meat bag, mostly after deer

Edited, found a more relevant thread...
AusTac, here's my though process on bag selection:
