How many of you have a first aid kit on your tractor?

What's in it?

Some tape and a gun. Hopefully I can tape it back on or tape it shut enough I can get back to the house.

I never carried one on the tractor, although I do think it's a good idea. I do have one in the truck and another one in the car; just the usual cheap Johnson & Johnson first aid kits from Walmart.

I have two in the Freightliner and none in my Jeep or the tractor.

I have duct tape in my tractor toolbox. Oddly enough, I've used it to close up a bad cut on my hand enough to finish up and get back to the house.

Basic J&J kits in all three vehicles. Same in both bathrooms of the barndominium and a smaller kit for our Ranger UTV. Thirty-eight years of safety training in the electrical industry kinda stuck with me. Since the our rural property is a bit remote, my nurse d-n-law convinced me to purchase an AED and keep an EPI pen on-site.

A good idea but hard to find a place for one on a tractor. I could put one on my larger tractor inside the cab but as of now I don't have one in any tractor, RTV or automobile. Of course I am never far from the house on my tractor and could be at the house in the time it took me to dig out the first aid kit.
I have used duct tape, electrical tape, masking tape and even super glue to close a cut. Super glue works very good for a clean cut like one would get with a knife and it will peel loose just like a scab when the wound heals.

Funny story. Few years ago on Thanksgiving day while finishing up the meal my wife cut her finger pretty bad. We were having a big family gathering in the shop. I didn't have a kit. She used Duct tape to wrap it. She's a keeper.

Never even thought about it. Usually I just leave a trail of blood leading back to the house. My biggest problem is, that if I hurt myself badly enough, I start to faint, thinking about what I have done to myself!

The stuff in first aid kits is mostly useless I find. I like those rolls of really sticky fabric bandage that you can cut off the appropriate size bandage but they are getting harder if not impossible to find.

When I am on a jobsite, black electrical tape and paper towel usually do the trick.

Several years back a guy out west of town managed to get caught up in his baler and it ripped both his arms off at the shoulders, plus all his clothes except his boots and socks. He walked a fair distance to a neighbour to get help; scared the neighbour's wife half to death when she went to see who was booting the door, opened it and saw a naked armless man covered in blood! He survived amazingly enough.

The one thing I learned from this was that REAL MEN don't need First Aid Kits!
