The old "cut a cross over the bite and suck out the poison" thing is no longer done, so the commercially produced snakebite kits are pointless. They can actually do more harm than good. I like to include a small magnifying glass (like a jeweler's loupe) to make tick, splinter and stinger removal easier. And if you're camping/hiking alone, a small mirror is useful for locating ticks on parts of the body you can't see! A needle, duct tape, moleskin, and hand sanitizer come in handy, too. (And hand sanitizer makes a very dependable emergency fire starter because it's primarily alcohol.) Good post, except that snakebite kits are generally not recommended anymore.
