Where in the N.I. are you?
In the BOP area I recommend www.djstraining.co.nz

comon sense, I would take suture material, bandages as they would be helpfull in case of breaks, anti septic cream, strapping tape as if you let it set for 15 min then it will be ok in the water, some sterial single-use non-stick wound dressing pads, pain killers, some of those tablets to make water ok to drink. That is just a quick idea of what I would take. Focus on things that might stop you from being able to perform and take items that can be used for a variety of purposes if possable.
