First aid kitView MessagesFirst aid kit “Did you buy one or make your own? What's in yours? Different kit for different trip lengths?” 8:56:24 AM 5/03/02 “Duct tape, tylenol, a sterile wound pad, two snake bite kits and a bottle of lithium.” 8:59:15 AM 5/03/02 “Bought a small kit which I've added more alcohol pads and bandaids to. I also have a separate drug bottle in which I keep different sorts of painkillers, imodium, sinus meds, etc. It's an optimist's first aid kit.” 9:06:04 AM 5/03/02 “I have a bag of first aid stuff. I select the things I think I need from it depending on the conditions of the trip. What gets taken depends on the weather, season, destination, length of trip, and the people that are going. lithium? Phaedrus that is not a good sign. Please stay on your meds and away from me.” 9:28:07 AM 5/03/02 “Advil, Immodium, Motrin, Aleve, Tylenol, Rolaids, Contact, different size bandaids, medical tape, gauze, New Skin, self sticking ace bandage, inhaler, needle, Second Skin Blister Pads, Moleskin, O.B., Neosporin, Alcohol, Suture strips, and other stuff = 4-6 oz. I have scissors and tweezers on my Swiss Army Knife.” 9:29:45 AM 5/03/02 “You remind me of someone else who told me that... once.” 9:30:26 AM 5/03/02 “When the bugs are out: Preparation H” 9:57:23 AM 5/03/02 “Snow nymph, where do the bugs come out of, exactly, that you carry THAT?” 10:07:05 AM 5/03/02 “LOL!!! Its for AFTER the bug bites. Ya know, stops swelling and itching?” 10:16:49 AM 5/03/02 “Snow Nymph, isn't that stuff mostly shark oil? Seems like it would bring the bears out...” 10:19:13 AM 5/03/02 “Hmm... Maybe I should add some of that to my first aid kit... I could rub it on unruly hikers and they would go away.” 10:23:32 AM 5/03/02 “...or be eaten...solves two problems!” 10:42:54 AM 5/03/02 “I bought my first first first aid kit. I began to modify it after that. I have a mixture of emergency stuff (mostly for treating wounds) and stuff I have used often (like Ibuprofen and moleskin). Some non-first aid items do double duty. For example, duct tape can be used for a lot of things (making splints, protecting wounds). I've also used iodine tablets (which back up my water filter) to make a concentrated solution for sterilizing wounds.” 10:45:30 AM 5/03/02 “I bought a first aid kit, but I think its too bulky. I've started a separate kit with some of the things in the first, simply to reduce the bulk.” 10:52:48 AM 5/03/02 “don't forget the condoms -- 1001 uses.” 11:01:24 AM 5/03/02 “Phaedrus and bit bring up two valid points; maybe we could rub that stuff on a couple of unmentionable trolls and they would disappear or be eaten. Hmmmmm... Y'all missed one invaluable item in your list of first-aid necessities-a SAM splint. It weighs next to nothing and you'll sure be glad to have it if you need it. For those of you who are semi-allergic to wasp stings, Adolph's made into a paste works well (no $hit, my doctor turned me on to that one).” 11:02:24 AM 5/03/02 “I got the best first aid kit of all. My hiking partner's a doctor!” 11:10:54 AM 5/03/02 “Hopefully, not a proctologist!” 11:18:28 AM 5/03/02 “Pathman's First aid kit is lighter, though.” 11:18:47 AM 5/03/02 “If he is a proctologist be sure to pack the prep-h....” 11:31:45 AM 5/03/02 “"maybe we could rub that stuff on a couple of unmentionable trolls" Prep-H was originally a product made for a$$holes......” 1:15:34 PM 5/03/02 “Damn, girl. I do believe that was the first semi-harsh word I've heard from you.I'm shocked, amazed and not a little tickled!” 2:10:59 PM 5/03/02 “Yeah, when snow nymph is bad, she's good!” 2:12:14 PM 5/03/02 “gordon....if I packed condoms for a trip, my wife would probably strangle me in my sleep...” 2:13:56 PM 5/03/02 “With a condom? Seems like a guy line would work better...” 2:15:43 PM 5/03/02 “hey condoms are a serious need for survival... they can in fact hold a gallon of water among other uses” 2:16:23 PM 5/03/02 “A condom can hold a gallon of water... This is a bit of trivia I was just unaware of... Not really sure why, but I was unaware.” 2:18:50 PM 5/03/02 “haven't been playing with your condoms much, have you?” 2:20:42 PM 5/03/02 “they also make excellent water balloons... especially if a female target realises what your using :}” 2:23:36 PM 5/03/02 “Not much. I was aware that they can be fashioned into an impromtu gun holster if you're so inclined.” 2:23:50 PM 5/03/02 “Maybe you didn't realize they unroll further.” 2:25:37 PM 5/03/02 “Oh Aero, that hurt. Bastard! I'm writing that one down!” 2:27:20 PM 5/03/02 “oohhh! aero's getting feisty! ;-D” 2:27:43 PM 5/03/02 “That's impromptu, bubba. And that's exactly what they're for, a holster for your 'gun'. :)” 2:27:53 PM 5/03/02 “p There's the one I missed. p There's one in advance.” 2:29:33 PM 5/03/02 “Sorry Phaedrus, I couldn't resist. Here's a Montana slam to make you feel better: What kind of condoms do Cowboys wear? Shrink to fit!” 2:30:19 PM 5/03/02 “lolololol at aero” 2:31:11 PM 5/03/02 “LMFAO! Gawd, y'all crack me up!” 2:33:45 PM 5/03/02 “Reality's failure rate is similar to that of other barrier contraceptives.” 2:35:18 PM 5/03/02 “if reality is a creation of the mind and if i have already lost my mind then whats left?” 2:39:02 PM 5/03/02 “Merely the creation of your existentialist babbling double-bubble bull$hit! :)” 2:46:06 PM 5/03/02 “As bukowski might say Sartre's Fartres.” 2:47:33 PM 5/03/02 “yes but your a figment of my demented imagination. :}” 2:48:20 PM 5/03/02 “Yes, but have you ever experienced déjà vu and amnesia at the same time?” 2:52:08 PM 5/03/02 “I've been here before? I don't know where I am.” 2:54:24 PM 5/03/02 “LOL Aero! (I think the folks who put water in them were just curious to see if the condoms could stretch.) During the early days of detente and expanded trade with the US and the USSR, the KGB psy-ops decided to try to intimidate the US by ordering 5 million condoms to fit 14" long by 1 1/2 inch in diameter. The US intelligence forces were in an uproar when the order came. After the NSA pulled together a meeting with top psychological consultants... a decision was made. The order was filled and shipped in 1/2 million boxes, ten to a box, all labelled "medium."” 2:54:52 PM 5/03/02 “Is that like the sound of one hand clapping?” 2:55:52 PM 5/03/02 “naw they havent given me those drugs yet. or did i skip right over them?” 2:56:01 PM 5/03/02 “HA!! good story, ped :-) kleetn, reality fails me all the time...” 3:00:42 PM 5/03/02 “Could it be that I'm the demented creation of your sane mind, which in your demented state you believe it to be, in which case I'm not really creation or demented, but merely sanity inverted?” 3:06:06 PM 5/03/02
