[Bones]

I made another of my little mini first aid kits. Been making them for years and people ask for them. Very simple just take a prescription bottle (a taller one is better) put in cotton balls (now with neosporin in them) then a bit of folded up toilet paper, then 4 advil, 4 tylenol, 4 alieve, 2 zyrtec, 4 asprin. add some tissue or whatever to top it off and keep things from rattling. then wrap the outside with a few feet of duct tape, then I wrap 2 different kinds of medical tape on top of it (both thinner then the duct tape so one sits below the other) one is the cloth based kind and the other is clear with reinforcing fibers. all together you have the stuff for a break or sprain (take the tylenol and the advil (4 and 4) and wrap it with something soft and tape, chew the asprin for a heart attack, zyrtec for allergies, alieve for back pain, use the tape and cotten ball with neosporin for cuts, and all of it can double as tinder as well. pretty handy and it fits in your pocket!

What about making a separate one with 2x2 gauze bandages, maybe 4x4's and tape. Could be used for bandages for small cuts etc as well as padding in case of blisters. The cloth tape is much better imo. And tape can be torn in two lengthwise pieces to make better use of 1" tape. Often, a smaller '1/2' can get the job done and 1" tape is about the same price as narrower tape.

Good thinking guys....I used a B Booster tube to much the same effect for my handbag. Its also large enough for the firestarting stuff as well.
