Wow! Some of you guys pack some serious luggage! Great ideas, though. For the record, I HAVE been stung by bees while whacking up the wrong tree! I hadn't been stung in something like 25 years and I was worried I might be allergic. Ever see a Toyota pickup get big air?

I have a milk crate with the usual suspects ...plugs,files,wedges,tool, small PPE.

The most interesting item in my crate is a large zip-log bag full of maxi pads and a roll of hockey tape...

1953greg hit it on the head...bandages. And hockey tape is just that, the cloth tape that's used for hockey sticks/equipment. It's works well in cold weather and it's strong enough to use for a tourniquet or sling.

I've been cutting since I as 15 and I've never had to use this stuff, but it's something that I picked up from my dad.

Duct tape can cover a bigger hole.

Like I said in a different thread, I'm one of "those guys" that uses the standard Stihl case. I have always hated working on saws in the field, so mine are cleaned, adjusted, and ready-to-go after each trip. Each case is set-up as a stand-alone - except for fuel mix and bar oil - so I can take either/or or both. Each case has spare (dry) leather gloves, scrench, felling wedge, spare mix-oil, spare chain(s), rag/paper towel, parts-cleaning brush (habit I picked up to brush debris away from oil/fuel caps before opening), small wire brush (cleaning bar groove or other tight spot), and spark plug I had sweet wifey vacuum-pack to keep clean and dry.
