Sounds like Jonathan Swift's satire on cracking eggs on the small or large ends leading to war LOL. Id save the alcohol prep pads for first aid. I tried it and they consumed themselves to rapidly. Barry at BlueLine Outfitters sells the BCB tins. These are much larger than the Altoid tin I started with and my current twin pack of Swedish tins ( sold out). It pushes convenient daily carry. I am slowly building it up to reside in my packer coat. As an aside; larger tins are advantagous for heating smalll quantities of water. Notice I didn't say boil! Most of these tins will be irrepairably warped or scorched. If you carry a small esbit stove or similar unit it pays to have a stable mating of the two. there is no rule against carrying more than one unit! I have one dedicated just for meds and it's G.P. mate.
