I must admit I REALLY like their stuff much to my wifes chagrin. Thanks for the email with the First Aid Kit list. Great list. May I suggest you include 'Steri-Strips' these are what they are known as here in Australia. They replace the need for sutures for some wounds. Come in small and large sizes. Obviously won't do for a massive gaping wound. I have used these for years and they are used in private hospitals here. Generally not used in the public system due to sutures being cheaper. The smallest pack has four in it so I guess there would be some wastage the bean counters would not like. Having said that they are quite cheap to buy. Matter of fact I am using them at the moment. Broke my finger and have a deep split across the pad. The other thing I include in my first aid kits is a small knife like the Gerber Paraframe or CRKT KISS. They are light and the open frame design makes for easy cleaning and sterilising. Maxpedition sure make some great gear. I must admit I REALLY like their stuff much to my wifes chagrin.
