Pliers for porcupine encounters.
.410 buckshot for coyote attacks.
small flat shovel for getting out of deep snow.
Diet Mt. Dew or coffee, venison sausage, and chicken biscuit crackers.
less snow and warmer temps would be nice too!

Roll gauze, adhesive bandage, peroxide, betadyne, silver nitrate sticks(to stop bleeding), liquid bandage, Benadryl(absolute must have during warm weather), forceps, scalpel, small bottle of saline, Blue Lotion spray, and opthalmic antibiotic. Also carry alcohol prep pads. I think thats all I have in my bag. Did have sutures but I gave them to someone and haven't gotten them replaced yet. I carry the liquid benadryl for kids because it works faster and is easier to get the correct dosage for weight.

The blue lotion spray is a spray antiseptic that is great for hotspots and small cuts.

There must be some tough mean rabbits in your areas or some wimpy dogs. ;)
You guys hunting bears or rabbits?

a gun and shells, and some wet wipes to clean your hands, after cleaning the rabbits. you really shouldn't steal another mans traps if he has permission to trap.
