[Paddlewise] first aid kit supplies

  Just a little observation that I made while sorting thru gear last night
after yesterday's paddle....
 
  As I went thru one of the three first aid kits that rotate around between
my day-pack, truck, and boats I noticed that several of the drug packets
that I carry (Benedryl, etc) had expired.  The problem with first aid kits
(or maybe it's really a blessing) is that most of us don't have cause to use
them on a regular basis, so like most pieces of "safety" equipment they tend
to be carried along faithfully, but not tested or used.  
  So just a friendly, and hopefully unnecessary, reminder to everyone,
especially now as the paddle season draws to an "end" for many, to check up
on their first aid kit supplies....
