All fits in a lunchbox. Pretty much it. I take some surgical gloves too. Twice in 5 years I reckon I have saved my dog from severe bleeds. Without having it on me there and then he would have bled out. Rarely leave home without one now. 3 Quote Link to post
Mickey Finn 3,008 Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Always a good topic. I can be pretty far from my truck let alone help so I carry a couple items to stop severe bleeding: quik klot, and a kerlix bandage. I also have a couple plastic staplers and needle nose pliers for porcupine quills. I've yet to have to carry a dog out or worse leave one behind. Oh, I also carry a little whisky and a few cigars. Just in case I need them. 1 Quote Link to post
