    Default First Aid Kit Contents

    Ok.. added into the few band-aids and wound wipes I also carry a female thin Panty Liner and a Tampon. I was a medic for 10yrs and always carried these two items in my field bag. You would not believe how much blood can be absorbed by a little dab of cotton. Works awesome for presure dressings.. Does this sound cRaZy TO YOU ????? Whats in your kit.

    I carry alot of these same things, plus a couple of heavy duty pain killer pills - just in case I break my leg or something awful like that.
    Some people take the straight and narrow. Others the road less traveled. I just cut through the woods.
