Used 2 bandaids out of my wallet today after slicing open my finger on a piece of paper. <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

The last time I used my FAK, I used 4 gauze pads and duct tape.

All supplies were replaced ASAP.

Honestly? The last thing I used in my PMK was the ear plugs. Someone's little darling wouldn't stop crying and it was on a bus.

I had an insect bite so I used some After-Bite, it is ammonia. It neutralizes the insect poison. It stopped itching after I put some on. When I go camping I am mostly handing out anti-histamine, Band-Aids and Burn-Jel for my boys.

The last time I used my FAK came about as a result of lending my leatherman squirt P4 to someone who "needed a knife or scissors". The person accomplished the task for which the knife was requested -- but in doing so managed to get a cut on the middle finger. I then proceeded to provide some antibiotic ointment and a large band-aid from my FAK.

The moral of the story is "no good deed goes unpunished". Afterward I had to thoroughly clean off the blood from the blade of my squirt P-4.

Bandaids and ointment.......for a wound. I keep hemostats in there and used them to sew a tear in cargo pants last time though.

1” fabric plasters (Band-Aids), Ibuprofen, Digital thermometer w/sterile sleeves, Meclizine (Antivert, Bonine) in about that order. I consider my first aid kit (FAK) as more of a medical kit.
