Is that something you'd do in the field? Or just whack a bandage over it and go a few hours to someone to help? This is just going to be a close-to-home kit.

Slightly off topic... A friend once told me the best way to clean a wound without saline is to pee in it. Another reason for women to carry a shepee? I don't know if they could get adequate pressure, though. :)

Most of these kits are just a few compression bandages, correct?
