Hey guys just a simple reminder, get a first aid kit and keep it with at all times.
Found a couple bucks and packed in for 2.5 days(plan anyway) Had to haul in 2 gallons of water (ugg)!
day in I jumped off a log landed on an unseen branch (dead fall) it snapped and whacked me in the ear and side of the head, basically like being hit with a bat, luckily it rang my bell but did not knock me out, had to dig into my pack which had zero first aid in it and use a games bag for the bleeding from my ear, quite a bit of blood was running down my face and dripping all over my gear.
Fortunately it was not major but a lesson was learned for sure, cut my last 1.5 days of hunting off as I had no way to access the damage until I hiked out 3 miles to my jeep. My ear is swollen and a large gash was taken out of it.
Good luck Elk hunters, they were getting quite vocal!!!
Just ordered a new kit, any suggestions for extras?
Thanks
BE SAFE!!!
