Lots of stuff, but even more lacking
I like 3-4 different ways to start a fire, more socks/underwear, arm sling bandage, cotton compression and bandages to stuff in holes
quick clot in every pocket, sewing kit and a host of other stuff

more socks/underwear


I didn't see foot powder/baby powder in there, though I assume that you've added some. It'll help the feet and crotch. Extra underwear/socks are well and good, but if you are out there for awhile and constantly wet, socks and underwear are going to end up giving you crotch rot and mess your feet up, by holding in moisture. Unless you find a dry place to air out.

moisture+dark, warm(ish) places+constant friction = no bueno.

Just something to think about.

That bag was in the growth phase, it has changed since then

Gold Bond is what I have used forever.

Ya know how pilots hang their helmets up on hooks above your head in the cockpit???

Well, that's a perfect place to pour about half a bottle of gold bond!

I was using you as a training tool for others. Can't ever go wrong with the blue bottle. I figured you'd have added by then, but there might be people who won't think of it.
