Modern indispensable medicals for the bush or off grid.

These are prudent to have on hand. Not nessissary, but prudent.

Polysporin - effective in treating debilitating foot infections that you don't have the time or resources to heal on their own. Raw garlic is said to produce the same effect, but will burn your skin if left there.

Sutures - I've used these to keep down a flap. A good band aid or clean cloth will do just as well untill the flesh catches and heals and you'll be left with a killer scar.

Band aids - these are near indispensable. I dont want to have to be boiling a rag and reusing it.

Hydrogen peroxide - will clear out tooth and gum infection. Rinse after use. Also a great topical antiseptic that does not need alcohol.
