 First Aid Review 
The most used item here was the toe-nail clippers. I wasn't impressed with the Glide and didn't feel the moleskin was worth taking. The MSR PackTowl, unfortunately was burnt when I decided it was a good idea to dry it in my cooking pot. I'll be taking half the towel with me on the Great Divide.
