I also have found Duct Tape to be an excellent First Aid Tape.

About 15 years ago I had a very basic "Survival Kit" (long since discarded for a better one) that I carried on remote hunting trips. I shot a moose at dusk and with the help of my hunting partner were quartering it with a large meat saw. It was dark and I was getting tired after a strenous day, I put my left hand on the moose to steady it and cut my index finger to the bone. It was a nasty, jagged cut that 1/2 circled my finger and I had no first aid kit with me.

I used paper towels (bush TP) and the duct tape from around my survival kit to stop the bleeding. It worked so well that I continued to use this method until we got back to civilization 3 days later.

The odd part of the story is that when people see the photograph of me with the moose, the first question they ask is "what is that wrapped around your finger".
