Yes, Benadryl is a must, along with a couple of safety pins. If you have the room, a small bottle of ClearEye. It sounds like you've got a good one started. I love that knife.
That's what mine looks like :)
I need to oil mine. All but the blade needed a knife to get them out.
I was looking and there isn't a phillips or tweezers. I think I could make the little flat head turn the screw though.
Clear eye. Good idea. We need a check list that we can add and delete too that's easy to find:')
I'm taking notes
I have one of those small ones too... And they're cool. I don't usually carry it riding, but it stays in my purse. ecurbh usually carries a leatherman tool too, that has lots of handy gadgets on it... The think I like about that big equestrian knife is the knife is really sturdy, the blade locks in place, and it's very sharp. You could cut a big rope with it, it's a real knife unlike some small pocket knives that you can't really get a strong grip on.
That little gray doodad at one end is tweezers.
I meant on mine.
Yes, the big knife looks like a serious knife. I can't remember if mine has a philips on it, I don't think so.
Isn't that yours in the picture? It's got tweezers.
Thanks for the picture. I always forget the names of stuff, but I'll remembr that. I've had to pull out the Benadryl on endurance rides for my riders but also for other riders. This would be something really good to have.
My blade a good size and trust me the sucker is sharp. Ouch. I thought I was going to get to use it a few months ago. When that horse went down in the rope the owner was yelling for a knife. I ran to get mine but a worker slacked it first.
I've never thought about it. It's just a topical painkiller (benzocaine), but I'm sure it'd work on them too.
I used to carry an Epi-pen with me too, just in case we got swarmed, but they require a prescription. I can get my allergy doc to write me one because I take allergy shots at home, but the ones I have are several years old and I'm sure I need to throw them away. I just hope to goodness that I'm never in a situation where I need one. I can't think of much worse than to be swarmed by bees of any kind. That's one reason I don't like to ride in the back of the line in a group of horses. The lead horses stir them up and the last horses get the worst of it. I've been popped a time or two, usually in the fall when they are the most irritable, and it ain't fun.
Yeah but that spiral isn't tweezers. Let me go get it out of the kitchen. BRB
No. No tweezers
If I was going way out, away from medical care I would want an epi pen and a snake kit. I knew a doctor that even carried suture. His teenager got cut while camping one day. He was furious with his dad. He had brought everything but the lidocaine:')
We don't have any venemous bugs or snakes... I'd definately carry that if we did.
Now how am I going to pluck something out with...I'll be darn.
