I came across an original CW soldier's medicine kit that had a couple vials of medicine along with some bandages etc. I thought that I would like to take that concept and adapt it to a squad-sized version for the trail. None of the items in this kit are props. They all contain a serviceable remedy treatment for the numerous afflictions one can encounter out there. It weighs about 1.5 lbs. so it adds to my burden but if anyone in the group is hurt or sick, this provides added immersion value by offering safe, period treatment.
In real life, I got my training and certification in life-guarding and as a first-responder so I figured that I should incorporate this into my first person as well.
The quinine tin actually contains a mixture of quinine and crystallized citric acid. It is administered as a preventative in the morning and evening. Primarily it is good for combating fever.
The Shakers Frost Extractor is actually an 1800s era lineament that i normally use.
I made the bayrum. It is mainly a deodorant and antiseptic for washing wounds.
The bicarbonate is for stomach complaint.
Period gause and bandages (can cover modern bandage treatments)
Pennyroyal insect repellant
Modern electrolyte treatment as a "Cholera-medicine"
Pain pills in a period jar. (Ibuprofin)
Petrolatum
needles
scissors
original bone-tweezers
Sassafrass compound for wound treatment and internal complaints
Vermifuge for stomach parasites
All the comforts of home on the trail. For more serious situations, I have a modern first aid kit wrapped in a period brown parcel.
