How frequently do you use the supplies in your first aid kit?

ADvil?  Every time. Band-Aids for foot issues? Frequently. The rest, once in a while.  I did recently use an ankle wrap to help a hiker who had sprained her ankle. I did my best, using memories of how they used to wrap my ankle 50 years ago when I played soccer.

When I had finished, another group of hikers passed by, and it turned out one of them was an ER doc.  He gave my wrap his general approval.  That was nice.

Basically every outing, for anything superficial.  Medication is used constantly, as are adhesive bandages.  The rest is somewhat randomly deployed, but rarely goes more than a few months without use; I’ve been surprised by how many times I’ve donated supplies to someone else that didn’t have them.

About the same frequency for the same items as you describe above, except that I don’t carry gloves, and I’ve never heard of 2-octy whatever (just looked it up and wouldn’t bring it). Mostly it’s headache, body aches, (needing Tylenol or aspiring) or blisters (tape, or bandaids of some sort) for my own needs. I do carry hardcore painkillers – usually Tramadol or Oxy or similar – just in case. They are in the “rare” category but gosh when your hiking companion ends up with a herniated disc 15 miles from a trailhead, they’re invaluable. Real situation. I’ve also donated blister supplies to others; now I carry a lot, because when I gave some to a fellow hiker on the TRT, I ended up with not enough for myself after getting blisters on a town day in my sandals!

I used to get blisters, like 10 at the same time.  I increased the amount of leuko tape that I took.  Then I got a new pair of boots and haven’t got a blister since.

On another forum someone said they encountered someone having a heart attack and gave them an aspirin.  That could be life saving.  I now take aspirin with me.

I used almost all my tape on my last trip. :-O

The last 2 years have been a “good run” exception. About 500 trails miles and I’ve used one bandaid, 2” leukotape, and 2 Tylenol.
