There is always a small container with soap in my shed. To make nettle spray when needed. I keep a small bucket with rotting nettles behind the shed.

Btw I do not actually spray it, but apply it with a large brush. There are things stuck in those spray things most of the times, so a brush keeps the frustration away.

Thought you meant a proper first aid kit, in the juggling with broken glass scenario.
