I assume a hemostat is a vascular clamp?
I can't get them, just can't get them. And I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't fit. (The kit is 15 / 12/ 8 cm).
What's an Ace-bandage?
Non-steril gauze pads? Now that's a idea......

Do you have anything for blisters? An Ace Bandage is the brand name for elastic bandages.

I see
What I usually do for blisters is open them up with a scalpel-blade or safety pin, Desinfect it with Betadine salve or a ointment pad and then I put a elastic bandage or tape a gauze pad over it.
All that stuff is in my FAK, but I don't carry special 'blister-stuff' such as Moleskin, etc.

I may be going out on a limb here, But then again it isn't the first time I've fell out of the tree.....what about an Exacto knife with extra blades......both sterilized and and put in some kind of waterproof packaging? You would have the Sharpness (Almost) of the Scalpel blade, but with MUCH more control, by way of the added handle?
