Can we include CPR masks?

I would advise St. John’s Wort oil instead of Comfrey oil, if it’s intended for topical use. Comfrey can close a wound so quickly as to prevent proper clearing of potentially infective material. Topical SJW also heals wounds, and is a great anti-infective, while dealing better than comfrey with deep-tissue trauma, especially in nerve tissue (as with handcuff injuries or others). Comfrey also has some (debatable) toxicity issues.

We’ve got a quart, contact the herb nerds for a bottle. We’ve also got arnica oil.

polypropylene upper and lower rain gear for stormy weather to come, please!

Scratch CPR masks; they are an added expense and take up a lot of room in the bag. Captain found this cool DIY barrier from light-weight materials that we carry with us every day: gloves! Take a glove and cut a slit into the middle finger of the glove (this creates a one-way valve); insert the finger of the glove into the mouth of the patient; the rim of the glove creates a sterile barrier between yours and the patient’s mouths.

A clean barrier, not a sterile barrier
