Skeet;
Suturing up a minor laceration is, in itself, not a big deal....but how you gonna do it on yourself if there is no one around to hep yah?....esp. if the laceration is on your hand? In all the years I've been in the medical field, if you can't stop the bleeding with butterfly sutures, you've got more worries than just a skin tear! Plus there is always the worry about such things as nerves, tendons, ect. being cut as well.......

As for the OTC meds: I prefer to carry just enough; don't need big bottles of the stuff. You can usually get aspirin, ect, in the individual doses from the 7-11, gas station, ect. Lomotil & other drugs come in blister packs, so just tear off what you think you need and keep the rest of the box in camp, ect. If you don't have those options, you can always find those pill containers at the dollar store.....just make sure you label what is in each spot.
