I want people to comment on this so here goes.
I was thinking we all carry an fak of some variety.
a lot of people carry an altoids tin full of meds for daily carry and a larger kit.
instead why dont people use one of the standard pouches designed for field dressings to carry all of the minor supplies.
I was considering this when out hill walking when one of the girls was suffering from blisters (I had to take my rucksack off to get at my fak which was a pain because I was carrying a fair ammount of weight).

hers a potential list of items to carry:
plasters/band-aids
hydochloride plasters
2in crepe bandage or a small wound dressing
1in wide role of tape
asprin or other pain killer
personell meds
bottle of antiseptic

lets see if it fly's, floats or sinks <img src="images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
