Last weekend I reviewed my two first aid kits for items that were approaching their expiry date. Whilst doing this I realised that the gloves I had in both kits were latex medical gloves. These gloves had come with the original kits, now they would need replacing – my sister (and others) are allergic to latex!
A quick phone call to her and she suggested a suitable non-latex replacement – better than that she sent me two packs of the gloves she carrys for emergencies.
I repackaged the gloves into some small zip-lock bags, having first cleaned my hands with antibacterial hand gel to make sure they were clean. One pair in the left bag for my pocket kit and two pairs in the right for my backpacking kit. I have also packed a pair in the pouch of bits I take camping and backpacking.
