You mentioned "toothache relief"
I carry a small bottle of Anbesol in my waders because there is nothing like it for bug bites. If I put it on a mosquito or gnat bite at the first tweak of itch, it's gone in a couple of hours and never itches.
It's also a Godsend for poison ivy rash.

Hey guys,
I've been going through my gear the past week and noticed that my small first aid kit I carry is totally kaput - I have no idea when it happened but water ruined just about everything. Before I replace my small one and make a larger one dedicated for overnight raft/car camping trips, I'm curious to hear what you guys carry on day trips or what you carry on overnight trips either in the car or in the boat.
I'm thinking for the small kit a variety of band aids, triangle bandages, antibiotic ointment, Advil/Tylenol, gloves, tweezers, mole skin, super glue, butterfly band aids. For the large - more of the items in the small kit, variety of gauze pad sizes, horse warp, SAM splint, saline wash, safety pins, CPR mask, emergency blanket, waterproof matches and a small candle, orange duct tape, Imodium, a small eye wash kit, Benadryl, tooth ache relief, burn relief ointment, a Leatherman, small flashlight, sharpie marker.
If there is anything else that you guys carry or don't see on my list, I'd love to hear it. Or if you think items in the above are redundant and not necessary. I'm no EMT but am CPR certified and am confident I know how to use all the above stuff.
Is there anything first aid related to you don't go fishing without it?
Have you ever needed something that you didn't bring?
And do any of you have SPOT or emergency locator beacons or experience using them? I've been toying with the idea to get one for a long, unguided, wilderness trip I'm taking in 2017 and would love to hear about people's experience with them - both good and bad.
Thanks,
Connor
