I think once it has congealed, so to speak, it is past its expiration date.

Couldn't unroll it, seemed like it had merged into a unified whole. Does anybody know how to unroll year-old Vetwrap? It would be useful when we are in a thistle neighborhood.

My local Wal-mart has travel size packets of duct tape. I also have a small roll of electrical tape in there. I also have an extra lead rope (really light). On my pommel I attach several dog collars. You can clip stuff to them and I have used them on several occasions for tack repair (my own and others).

Since things are kind of slow here, I wonder what ya'll find you just can't live without while riding. Me, well, I was never a boyscout, but I should've been. I tend to carry everything, including a 'kitchen sink'. Here's my list: mini 1st aid kit--the band aids are used most chap stick bandana--use as a bandage, blow nose, use as a sponge if the real one falls off or didn't get put on..... vetwrap old dish towel--same uses as the bandana, but I've also used one folded up & vetrapped on to replace a lost shoe. The horse was lame after losing the shoe & too much hoof, but was comfortable enough to ride out of the backcounrty with his 'slipper' on. super glue (the little single use 4 pack) zip ties--for fixing tack swiss army knife hoof pick collapsible water dish snacks water compass lighter/matches one of those little emergency blankets That's all I can remember without going down to the tack area & checking. Sounds like a lot, but it actually packs well. Marirose =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
