If by minimal, we mean a kit that is for personal use only, I suppose one could skip the gloves. The thing is that I have used the kit for others far more often than just for myself....
Nitrile gloves come in handy in a variety of ways, so they are well worth their miniscule weight
I agree. Gloves not only protect you, they protect your patient. Gloves are just plain smart, especially in an outdoors environment where dirt is an ever present reality. They're like as easy bit of immediate sanitation. They weigh almost nothing, take up about as much space and very cram-in-able when it comes to packing. The fact that you can also use them as as a container, child amuser, signalling device, fishing bobber, etc. are added bonuses.
Why wouldn't you carry them?
