I keep After Bite. The size of a pen and it's saved my itching arms when bugs are swarming. Saves that hours long paddle while scratching away. Another item I carry is eye drops for relief on breezy dry days.

Great video! You really thought of everything. I will need to build a first aid kit. Thanks for the video!

Great kit. A bit overboard, you're not hunting in the mountains. The wound seal and the mylar blanket are a must. Glad to see you staying safe with your pfd in the garage!

For the space it takes... I would rather be prepared and underprepared. My wife actually cut herself recently on a table saw and I already got to use the wound seal. That stuff works like a boss.

Great info! One thing to add - if you do get an eye injury (ie: hook in the eye) cover both up as your eyes move together and if the injured eye is moving it may increase the damage.

Solid add Thomas!

I'm a little scared to go fishing with you. Don't think I'm combat ready!

Couple others. Benadryl. Kayaking is not the time to find out you have a deadly allergy. I also keep Imodium, zip strips, tongue depressor (finger splint), and a section of braided line for removing hooks. And practice deploying and applying your TQ with one hand. Stage it in a ready state on the outside of a bag. It's for major bleeding. If you need it, you need it now.

If by chance anyone gets sunburned Bactine works phenomenal. Just spray it on and let it dry. Tattooist use it regularly on tattoos so we can help the customer last longer. And I stand behind it with a sun burn. Even if you’re just starting to feel it. And can be used if you get a hook in your finger or watever burns or needs a infection cleaned right then! I definitely have some in my first aid kit!

Right on Ron.

Great kit. I would add a spare change of clothes in a micofiber or merino wool. I also would add a water purification method. I love my Sawyer Squeeze mini. I've been out hunting and miles from the car or house and forgot my water. I filled the bag that comes with it with water from a pond and ran it through into a second bag and voila. Water. A 10x10 tarp would also be good as it can provide shelter if stranded and also a wind screen.

Thanks Pepepepert for adding some additional items to think through.

Great video. I had a really bad spider bite that needed surgery and about 3 months of wound care. I bought my kayak during this time and would just wound care it and plastic wrap it. Lol I am a bit of a rebel though. All those wound care items makes me question your fishing locations. Are you in Chicago or something? Lol Thanks for another great video. Happy fishing.

I would rather be overprepared than underprepared. When things go south.. they can go quick. I also don't just think of myself for the Kit. I would hate to run up on a boat ramp incident, or someone who cut themselves on a boat prop and not have what I needed to help. the negligible space it would save me vs the benefit is worth it 10X over.

Hey Kodey! I share everything I know about Kayak fishing except where I fish :)

For any kind of travel, I don't carry pills not in the original manufacturer's packaging or a prescription labeled bottle. 1) if someone else has to use your kit, there should be no room for mis-identifying medication. 2) should the Po-Po take an interest in your kit, they won't find mystery pills. I carry single dose packaged items, including sun screen and bug deterrent, so that I use it, I can stick the wrapper in my pocket as a reminder to restock later on.

Thomas.. thanks for the add and great thoughts to consider brother.

I noticed your radio. If that is a video in the pipeline, just tell me to stay tuned. But would you consider that a part of first aide? Do you have to have an FCC license for it?

Hey Boss, The radio is a part of another video that is edited and in the cue.. but I only talk about it for a minute. If you are a recreational boater traveling within the United States, you do not need a license for a VHF Marine Radio. However, if you live in Canada, and others countries.. you do.
