This stuff really will fix just about anything. Outside of the first aid case, they can be used to repair all sorts of hiking gear from shoes to ponchos. It really shines as part of the first aid case however. In this, it is capable of being used in place of mole-skin and other products for relieving blisters by reducing friction if placed on the hot spot before the blister actually forms. It can also be formed into a sort of butterfly bandage if a large wound gets opened.

If a flat-pack is not available, wrapping regular duct tape around an item will make it available without carrying around a heavy roll of duct tape. Duct tape is the heaviest thing in the first aid case, so try to balance the need for having enough with the lightweight aspects.

Every first aid case, big or small, should have a small bottle of this in it. Liquid bandages such as Nu Skin are able to replace disinfecting supplies and normal bandages. The liquid is painted onto the wound and allowed to dry. It disinfects and protects at the same time.
