"A guide-worthy first aid kit
I encourage people to carry some supplies, but this is easy to overdo. I have a ready-to-go plastic bag with the the basics for most three-season trips: Ibuprofen, several blister pads, a partial roll of KT Tape that can cover a scrape, support a tweaked knee, or protect a hot-spot, tweezers, and antibiotic ointment. I add to this kit for trips in extreme conditions or weather (salt tabs in the desert, a space blanket for winter peak bagging) but for the most part, my kit is just enough for moderate backcountry trips.
What most people don't need: a SAM splint, ACE wrap, medical scissors, multiple pads with rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide, a half-dozen allergy meds, burn gel, or a tourniquet."
