just to point out first aid is not only about gauze and band aids. I usually have some chewable pepto, Imodium tablets, some aspirin or tylonol, and have used them. And like my chain tool, the only time on a tour ive used a gauze bandage and ointment it was on someone else, who didn't have them. It was a pretty severe burn, on a neighboring car camper at a fairly remote park late at night. I was the only person there with anything appropriate.
