Mark... the alcohol wipe would help in fire starting...the betadine wipe could in a pinch be used for water purification and diluted to make an irrigation solution for deep laceration, in addition to a topical antiseptic... the pads are about the same size, and the betadine/iodine is probably longer acting as topical antiseptic (and you can see it has been applied) ...about $4/100 from Chinook Medical
