I find myself in possession if 15-20 Chux. What do you see as possible uses in the BOB or around the house/car?

1. - Really big bandage; think of a 4x4 that is 24x36.
2. - Something to sit on instead of being directly on the ground.
3. - Set a paint can on.

and?

Save them for the next time a woman gives birth on your couch?

(I had a good couch ruined that way)

Chaos is joking, but I think the idea is right: reserve it for some sort of human use. You can set the paint cans on a sheet of plastic, but it's hard to sleep on plastic.

To Chaos: you can make that couch the dedicated "birthing" couch.

I would agree, save them for some human use. I would be reluctant to use them for a really big bandage. They are not sterile although I'm sure they would be better than a grease rag that you use to check your oil smile. Also, if your patient needs a bandage that big they are in a SERIOUS world of hurt.

The couch was disposed of. The next time a woman gave birth at my house we had better arrangements.
