Krazy glue to sooch cuts or i just let them bleed out.

duct tape for blisters works way better than moleskin.

... I also keep my tape, tweezers, needle and thread, and nail clippers in there...

+1 on the nail clippers. This is not a luxury item for me. I am very prone to infections around my toenails. I have to keep them trimmed just right. If they are too long or too short, I know I am in for trouble.

Trust this guys advice, if anyone knows how to mend themselves after a fall it would be him. He's called Stumblewolf for a reason you know.

Here's what I used:

Ibuprofen
1 band aid
pepto bismol pills

If it was a nobo hike, I might've also prepared myself for ticks

If you happen to need something else while hiking, go into town. It's not too far away.

YES. My inner thighs were raw by the time I reached Neels Gap. Some people were using petroleum jelly but I just didn't want to be all gooey and sticky...so I bought a small container of baby powder and applied it liberally every nite before I went to bed...the chafing healed very quickly and every time I started feeling it come back I'd start using the powder again.

Another option I have but haven't tried yet is Body Glide.

Gold Bond Triple Action Medicated Foot Powder.., works great, throw a little down the shorts and instant party in your pants. Body Glide or compression type boxer shorts help with chafe, also diaper rash ointment works well, only use petroleum jelly as a last resort.

My drama troop discovered this stuff in high school. We'd all powder up before the show when you'd get sweaty crotch from being on stage. It got so bad that there were two little piles of Gold Bond in every bathroom stall from where it'd fall out the bottom of boxers.

Cloth tape is the way to go for blister protection. I've worn the same patch of it for days and it leaves very little residue. Blister pads and moleskin are junk for hiking I've found.
