i agree , i never used a fishing line also , maybe a twist of the mind ,i don't know, but i like to think, it is not really a survival tin but more or less a back up for if things go wrong, why not take only a cell phone to the barren lands and order a pizza ??.

I have to admid, never used mine also, but then again you,ll never know what is on your path out there, never carry a cell phone also, it has about the same weight, but then i go for the tin, i dead celphone ,or one that is out of range does not help me in any way.

I don't usually carry one, because i have some items in my pack, but when going hiking in the ardennes i carry one on my belt, in a seperate pouch ,for me this is an old tobacco tin, about double the size of an altoids tin. In there i have a magnesium fire striker, wire saw, pocketknife, needle...

especcially in a hand wich is a complex piece of art ,with sinew, mussel and tissue, a lot can go wrong, if been cut trough to the bone, as Dave says, chances are you cut one of these, chances are ,some fingers will never work again.

all i have with me most of time is a field dressing a little bottle of iodine and small tweezers, never let me down yet.

first aid methods that i favor most is the things i learned in the service, followed several civilan first aid courses afterwards, but the basic and simple things works best for my point of view. I followed Dave Canterburys efforts on the tube, and untill this item ,i tought he was a pretty...

would not do it my self, never would use superglue also, i saw the comments on american bushcraft, but then again i am interested in a different point of view

Anyone saw Dave Canterbury on youtube stich his own hand, anyone ever did this,what is a medic saying about this and has it anything to do with self aid ?.
