Tick tweezers, not something I think about in winter. And I always carry a light, so I didn't even think about it. Hence the asking. And I'm pretty sure I'm adding a couple of small pouches to the sling so I can put in providone-iodine wipes.

As for the saline vs burn jels, most burn jels have either aloe or lidocane in them. My sister-in-law would swell up like a ballon and turn scarlet if we used aloe on her, and there is a real possibility that my last living act will be to strangle the sucker who uses any 'cane drug on me. Let's just say I really scared the dentist when I had some work done when I was little.
