Thanks for the info, Koz.<br><br>I have a standard first aid kit in the car and I carry a portable one in my pack, although neither is likely as comprehensive as your's.<br><br>My pack kit started as a Army surplus kit that I augmented (I even threw in a little sewing kit ). But I don't have items like SAM splints or EMT shears. I look into upgrading before my next trip. <br><br>A question regarding sterile water, would water treated with iodine or KNO4 be considered sterile?
