Things you need to consider are any known medical conditions you or your group members have and do you know how to treat these conditions. Know what medications or drugs you or group members are taking; do they have a sufficient supply or can they be obtained in the location you’re visiting.

@dbmers Superglue was in veterinary use for mending bone, hide, and tortoise shell by at least the early 1970s.[citation needed] The inventor of cyanoacrylates, Harry Coover, said in 1966 that a superglue spray was used in the Vietnam War to retard bleeding in wounded soldiers until they could be brought to a hospital.
@cornishprivateer Yeah that’s what I had heard as well which is why I tried it, and saved myself an expensive ER visit. I sliced my finger pretty bad…it needed stitches, but I couldnt afford it at the time, so after cleaning the wound I superglued it closed, and it healed nicely.
Very informative. I’m going to make one for my BOB.
@dbmers True, I heard that’s what it was fist invented for, don’t know if anyone can be allergic to it, will need to check!
I would add superglue. It works remarkably well for lacerations. I know from experience lol.
Tell me what you're thinking...
