Thread: First aid kit pics

After 32 years SAR training....2 items....condoms (non-lubricated if possible) Uses: protecting wounds on hands, feet, toes & digits, great ties / tourniquets, and last ( definitely not used ones ) put one inside a sock to get water from a stream.....they reallllllyyy stretch!
Item 2: Tampons, small, light, low volume BUT brilliant for stopping/staunching blood from open wounds...
