I was wondering...
Do all of you carry a first aid kit on you or in the truck? What do you carry for cuts or bleeding? Seems like a lot of my buddies have been having accidents with their dogs lately

Re: first aid kit
Hemostats to pull out cactus and quills, vet wrap, none stick gauze pads, and antihistamine are always in my vest.

Re: first aid kit
Truck kit: 1 or 2 boots for a torn paw(s), wrappable gauze, Ace bandage, vet wrap, a non stinging disinfectant like hydrogen peroxide, and an old clean sheet to thoroughly wrap a dog in. The sheet is pretty invaluable for keeping a torn up dog in one piece, keeping dirt out of wounds, staunching blood loss, etc.
Definitely want a hemostat or needle nose pliers in your pocket. Metal toothed combs work great if you're hunting cactus ground.

Needle nose, gauze, pressure dressing, neosporin, small bottle of peroxide. I also have some 2"x12" strips of old t-shirt cut up for splinting.
