I don’t think he …
I don’t think he was trying to say, hey, when you get a cut reach for the manual. I think he was more talking about less everyday situations that might require you or your hiking partners to actually need a reference point in order to help the person(s) injured.

You’re obviously right about the calming down aspect… it’s beyond vital.

Bring something for …
Bring something for diaper rash, too. Ask any mother!
Know the signs of hypothermia and heat exhaustion/dehydration. Leave the snakebite kit at home. The most important thing to bring is between your ears. Wear long pants and shirts or bring band-aides and deep woods off. Upstate NY or NE, bring the head net for black flies.

You need a small …
You need a small syringe without the needle. They’re great for irrigating wounds, cleaning out infected blisters, etc. Second skin is better than moleskin. J&J. Don’t forget the duct tape-a few inches wrapped around your waterbottle or hiking pole does the trick. A few antibiotic tablets from your doctor’s samples for just in case things get hairy. Some aspirin, a bit of betadine. A bandanna (or mapdanna) replaces the ace bandage and it has many other uses: pre-filter, sternum-strap, etc
