[QUOTE="mcseal2, post: 497479, member: 22030"] Thanks for the reply, I'll look at those boot sites. I am great at breaking cell phones also, the one I currently use has the front screen cracked from when a calf kicked me and hit the phone. It still works great though, it is a military grade phone and they seem to take the water and abuse and still last much longer than anything else I've tried. Good advice also about the quick clot, it is for emergencies only. My brother in law that lives nearby has been an EMT for the last 5 years and has been teaching me the basics. I figure the vet wrap can be used to hold gauze bandages in place or to help imobilize a leg building a splint. A whole roll also weighs very little. Plus it is available in hot pink so I can also use a piece to mark a trail or down animal for a return trip. One of the multi-use items that can cut weight. I also have lots of knives and keep aquiring more. I am still not sure what to pack in the back country yet due to weight and usefulness. I want a small but workable saw to notch larger limbs to break for the stove. The stove doesn't handle very large wood anyway, but I figured with a little saw I could notch limbs and get them to break where I want. I'm not sure if I can get by with the saw on a knife like the SOG Revolver or not. When I get the stove I will try it before my trip and find out. I could save 8.3oz by dropping the Gerber saw, and for a 3 day trip I don't think I'd run out of easy to get wood where I will be hunting. [/QUOTE]
