Doesn't take much to be prepaired for cuts and broken limbs. It sucks to get an arrow caught on vegetation and tree limbs and have it come out and cut you. It also sucks when one falls out and sticks you in the thigh. Be prepared... only takes a minute or less to go into shock. We carry all kinds of gadgets and stuff with us to go climb trees with sharp objects. I fell out once with a backquiver full of arrows. I had an arrow come out of a bow quiver. I even had one poke through a bow quiver and hip quiver. If a bleeder blade comes off inside an animal and sticks to a rib bone, it could get you. So yes, I carry what I need to stop bleeding and make splints and survive. Paracord, bandages, scalpel, gauze, fishing line, rubbers, rubber tubing, clothes pins, quick clot, super glue, rubber gloves, electrical tape, iodine, 2 lighters,and a leatherman.
