I tend to carry some plasters, dressings, tape and some antiseptic. Just invested in a bivvi bag type thing for days walking / riding in the peaks.

Think some steri-strip type things might be useful...where do you lot get them from?

Since going out with no phone for a quick spin round town...and cutting open my knee down to the bone, followed by A&E, I carry a small bit of paper with friends/relatives numbers on. Couldn't remember anyones' number at all.. 🙁 ...damn you, word based phone number storage interfaces!

One Ambulance Dressing. End of story. It'll (help) stop life threatening bleeding, and it can tie 2 legs together or make a sling. Its all you need. Anything else is fairly pointless guff.

Nurse of 23 years, Mountain biker of 22 years here;

Duct tape.

If you can't fix it with duct tape, phone for help.

Antiseptic wipes? no use at all.

Space blanket? Rubbish; if you want protection, take a big emergency bivvy style plastic survival bag.

Steristrips? Use duct tape, it sticks better.

...and duct tape can be used to fix your bike too.
