I'm used to putting different kinds of pills in small Ziploc-type bags to store them in my nylon first-aid pouch, along with bandages and other things.

Last week, i've pulled out my kit only to find that my ibuprofen pills were spoiled : it seems that the pill's coating broke, probably because of the heat or humidity.

Would it be better to put my pills in a folded aluminium foil sheet?

I purchased real, non-generic Advil ibruprofen in liqui-gel form, perhaps those won't spoil as easily.

Any thoughts?

Bee,

I use 1 oz. Nalgene bottles for packaging pills in my FAK. They're available from campmor.com (Item # 80860). While not a flat package, they are small and waterproof so you shouldn't have the spoilage problem. I use two of them in my smallest (3 x 5 pouch) FAK. I hope this helps.

35mm film containers. I also throw in small silica gel package to keep the moisture away.

What's film?

almost extinct but still around...

I think I saw that stuff on the History Channel last week! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

What I can't figure out is how to upload the pictures from it.

I guess you still have found the USB port ...right ?????.....
