There are several out of the ordinary things I have in my kit for some odd purpose - again, that would be a good thing for me to share with ya’ll in the daylight when I can look at the kit.
<<<<<<

Please do let us in your kit.....

Peroxide is a quick way to stop bleeding, learned that one from the Bird magazine, as a bird can bleed to death, if it pulls a feather that was not ready to be shed.

I use it on dogs and cats.

They are also using lots of white sugar to fill wounds that won’t stop bleeding.

You need to post your honey cures, if you haven’t on this thread. And the mixture you fed the goats after they kidded.

I have heard the white sugar is good in wounds. Oddly enough I also heard that it has antibacterial effects in addition to helping stop bleeding. Who'd o' thunk it? Of course, honey is antibackterial and should be used in wounds if you have no antibiotic cream and have honey.

Making myself a note to go through my first aid stuff to get you a list of the "odd things." Most of the odd things I learned from an RN who worked with me in teaching camping and outdoor survival skills to kids from the city.

I can't recommend enough that people have some sort of first aid class. Even if we never had TSHTF event, it could save the life of a loved one or a stranger. But, when TSHTF, you will be out of opportunity for that first aid class you always meant to take.
