What about hand sanitizer? Instead of vaseline-soaked cotton balls, I keep a 1.5 oz bottle of Germ-X (62% Ethyl Alcohol) in my kit. (Since I hump it in, space and weight are at a premium.)
Uses:
1. Clean hands prior to eating/prepping food and after you drop deuce off the trail (general health)
2. Antiseptic treatment for cuts 'n scrapes (first aid)
3. Field expedient sterilization for knife/razor blade or stitching needle (first aid - if you don't have heat or fire)
4. Fire starter - even on damp tinder (the alcohol suspension burns slow and dries out the tinder before igniting it. Careful, burns with a clear flame. Don't go checking it with your finger to see if it is lit.)
Nice tip LostOutrider.

There is no greater solitude than that of the Tracker in the forest, unless perhaps it's that of the wolf in the wilderness.

Maybe its a sac cloth or loincloth for your sac

I dunno....whatever else you have use for a round sharp piece of metal.
Snake
You can eat all of it except the head if it's venomous, you can use its venom to tip arrows (it works with the right snake), you can use its skin for cordage or anything you might use a strip of leather for, you can hold water in the skin, and in the Mexico episode of Man vs Wild, Bear Grylls had to pee into a snakeskin and drink from it.
Don't drink pee!
this was on the news back in Aug or Sept, Bear spent many nights in a motel when he said he was sleeping in the out back, his camera crew ratted him out, he does know what he's doing most of the time but sometimes you can see that it's staged when he walks thru deep grass without looking, there are copperheads and timber rattlers around here and none on my land but i still keep my eyes open when in tall grass and brush in case no one told the snake that he's trespassing.
Dental floss works very well for stitches. I sewed my hand with it in Mexico after figuring out I couln't get fishing line through the needle... Bonus... It's sterile.
Another thing I carry is 100lbs. test braided Dacron fishing line. Very light and small and a myriad of uses so you can save the 550 for where it's really needed.
Also, Binder clips are great as tarp clamps, rope stops, or for fixing torn clothing. you can pull the 'handle' off, straighten it and use it for a poker/awl/hook as it's some tough wire. I have been known to put them on the edge of a pot to use as a handle too.
"Evil triumphs when good men do nothing." - Edmund Burke [1729-1797]
Well, that just conjured up all kinds of curiosity on my part. Sterile huh? I just happen to have an un-opened six pack of Crest dental floss. No where does the word "sterile" appear. I'd sure like to see your source on that.Originally Posted by Badawg
