Lots of good ideas here... In addition to many of the items mentioned above, I carry several (8-10) cable ties. They're those serrated plastic strips that have one pointed end which feeds into a tiny locking mechanism at the other end. They're the ones you curse when you're TRYING to break them! They might also be called zip ties? They're tiny, weigh nothing, and super strong. I've carried them for several years now, and though I've not needed them myself yet, I've repaired bridles, reins and even a stirrup leather for other trail riders. So far they're the handiest, most-used thing in my pack!

What kind of container? Do you mean a bottle? Doesn't the heat still make the vet wrap tough to unwrap?
It is a small can. It is the pressure, not the heat that makes them tough to unwrap. I live in Southern Arizona so we get plenty of heat. I just went out and checked, just to be sure and it unwraps easily. That vet-wrap roll has been in my pack at least two years.
Okay, I now know what you are talking about. Might have to try it.

Superglue! and Snikers bars, water and a horseman knife my dad gave me several years ago. I have repaired many a wound on horses, dogs and people, less frequently equipment with superglue.
