I had to make an entirely new load out from my normal one when I was in Arizona hiking in 115 degree heat.

Let’s just say it also included an emergency can of pure oxygen…lol

Thanks for posting . You motivate me to check my kit . I need to get some Benadryl. Our kits are very different. I found those suture kits at work in an old emergency kit. I never thought about packing them before but I figure why not , they are small enough. I hope to NEVER have use them ever. I can’t imagine how painful that would be or how to help someone deal with the pain of having to use it. The 18in 4-0 ethicon kit has an expiration date of 01/10 . Why would this expire? Do you think the thread might have disintegrated ? Would you recommend me throwing it out? Thanks.

Can weighs almost nothing, plastic mouthpiece is the heaviest part, and they make a can half this size even…I’ll probably pick a few of the small cans up to include in the future

I use to
Use that stuff all the time when I hiked and biked in the high elevations of Colorado. I think it’s a gimmick because I really don’t think they help very much. physiologically maybe. If you have one of those finger oxygen devices you could test it out. Man, I should have thought about that when I was using them.
