Hikermor--well said..that made more sense that some of the
first aid stuff i've read..i see lists of gear that only a
Dr would know how to use..unless you have had lots--LOTS of
training and first hand experence i would not want you trying
to sew me up or use hemostats to dig something out of me..
i think a lot of first aid kit lists are sort of "security
blanket" stuff---
