A few weeks ago I took a spill which led to lots of abrasions, lots of bleeding (nothing serious). Cleaning up the mess used much of what I had in my first aid kit. I knew that I had to refill it that night, before I forgot.
Well, that night I was tired, and said I will get to it tomorrow ...
Today I took a spill on some black ice, way down on the Mt. Osceola Trail (well before I put my stabilicers on). I remembered that I had not refilled my first aid kit, and wondered what I would find in it.
Fortunately there was enough stuff to deal with the small cut I had, but there were absolutely no sterile cotton pads, the basic tool for dressing anything that needs more than a Band-Aid.
It has now been replenished, and I wanted to share the (obvious) lesson with you.
