I accept your wisdom, but I think there are some exceptions.<br><br>I carry 10 Cipro in my PSK not necessarily to stop a deadly infection after I am stranded in the wilderness, but to buy me and my wife 2.5 days should a terrorist attack by anthrax occur. This is a critical time where we can clear the area and wait for civil unrest to stop. It is also my wife's preferred means to combat certain feminine issues... Carrying Cipro is a bit ludicrus to many, but no more so that buying potassium iodide or indeed carrying a concealed weapon.<br><br>I carry 15ml betadine in my PSK as an alternate water purifier and to make an emergency wound irrigation wash as recommended in my WFR class taught by Wilderness Medical Associates. I carry a few fabric bandaids in my PSK which are used day to day to cover minor cuts, but I find them invaluable for covering blisters (along with duct tape). Blisters are a highly underrated trigger in back country emergencies. <br><br>Am I missing something?<br>
