Not a bandage, per se, but a waterproof, rubberized tape that is
slicker than greased owl ****.

It should not be difficult to find it if you look.Â* Works like a charm
and for a bandage, just roll your own with a bit of gauze or . . .

I have found that a good emergency bandages is a roll of paper towels. I
carry a roll in all of my vehicles that are stored in a plastic bag.
While it may not be perfect the bag keeps it clean, strong, and it can
soak up a lot of blood.

I realized the importance when we came upon a car wreck.Â* The victim had
the type of skin the came off in sheets, I don't know what we would have
done with out paper towels.

Another one (from time spent working on an ambulance crew before there
were paramedics) is sanitary napkins. Sealed in paper and used with an
ACE or other bandage, they were outstanding for pressure bandages. A
newspaper, or even a magazine, makes for a great splint.
