Rapier..a very good idea with the food saver thingie/
. A friend carries a few birthday type candles and a cheap butane lighter in a zip lock bag with a bunch of drier lint too. Starts fires very easily. Shoot guys..I thunk I had this down pretty good and I be learning more all the time. as far as the first aid kit..I do carry a couple of ace bandages. Wrapped right they can even help nasty cuts as well as sprains. We even use 'em on horses when necessary. I don't like horses! but they do come in handy for carrying out the game..if ya get any

The Food Saver is used by the guys in Pararescue for individual med packs, Trauma, Burns, Suture Kits, etc. I use them for reloaded ammo packs and handguns in a rough situation, like saltwater exposure or submersion. A boat gun is kept dry and ready for action, load it, oil it, seal it and cut the notch, walah ready with a zip for a shark, snake, gator, etc. Your ammo stays bright and shinny and with a tag, inside you know exactly what the load is.

I stumbled on this while trying to keep small parts for gun shows clean, oiled, visable and without having to wipe the stuff every day. Told the son who is a CRO and head of reserch now, so every pararescue outfit has a half dozen or so machines in their load-out rooms. They work great for many, many things.
