Medical Supplies on the Trail
#3
Like Mike, I bring bandages and some wound spray too, along with Carolyn Eddy's book on goat first aid. We always bring a people first aid kit, and a lot of it would be useful for goat care in an emergency. I believe I have a snakebite kit as well that is probably more likely to be needed for a goat than a person. I keep activated charcoal at home, but since poisonous plants aren't much of an issue on the trail in my area, I don't bring it hiking.

(Charcoal doesn't induce vomiting--it absorbs toxins so they can pass through the gut instead of being absorbed.)
