Add in maxi-pads for serious cuts or large scrapes ... real emergency use clumping kitty litter (from a new container of course) to stop heavy bleeding. Sure it may not be sanitary but itll do until you can get to an aid stationHadn't heard about cat litter for severe bleeding, but I have used Lamb's Ear while out hiking. The leaves are fuzzy and absorbent. Works great!

There’s a book out about herbal medicine to look for when hiking ... think I’ll get it ...
