cram Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Some wounds are difficult to wipe. You may want a pour-on disinfectant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Bandages, elastoplast ones(Stretchy), Tweezers, Cold/Heat activated compress. Small stainless pliers/Cutters, Small bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide, also doubles as liquid oxygen if your livewell pumps fail to. After Burn lotion and sunscreen.

wjw Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 For those using an open fishing boat you may want to add eyewash, a small mirror, and clear safety glasses. These pretty much elimates the "bug in the eye" problem associated with small boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rousseau Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Super glue...!!! Had 2 days last year saved by super glue... For those cuts that won't stop opening/bleeding... Just glue em up till you get home that night and can let it rest and heal up a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
