Make up a small kit in a waterproof pouch to suit personal requirements or buy one designed for walkers. Suitable contents could include a crepe bandage (very versatile), medium wound dressing, safety pins, safety razor blade, plasters, blister kit, Paracetamol, lipsalve, etc. Groups will need a more comprehensive kit.
Tip: make your first aid kit a more versatile emergency kit by adding other useful small items such as waterproof note paper, pencil, water sterilisation tablets, miniature tin opener / penknife, miniature survival compass (in case your main compass is lost or damaged), waterproof matches and striker, a little cash etc.
