*That reminds me, I need to get a couple of those medical stapler things for my kits. Anyone have any experience with that.

Human beings are NOT meant to be stapled. Even by accident.

They used stainless steel wire and super glue on me last spring

I think they mistaked me for A hay Baler.

I can't tell if you're serious or joking? In the field not too long ago, my buddy cut his thumb pretty bad. Click-click. Stapled up. When he went to a doc a couple days later, the doc said that was the same thing he would have done.

Much easier than cleaning sutures and stitching, and much faster. Fast enough you can wash and get them in while the area is still in 'nerve-shock' and relatively painless.
