Almost twenty five years of sticking my fingers where they do not belong.

Happened to me once...see, I was with this girl and.....

Geez Roger, you truly deserve the Beat Up Zombie Avatar!!! :Q

you aint even having fun till you have to cautherize your own wound cause you're by yourself, backpacking, with a huge gash in your leg and noone around for miles.

that sucked my leg hurt like hell. but on the upside, i was back to hiking within the hour, and got out of there around 9:00 that night. (this was somewhere around 2:00 that i did this, it was about 1:30 that i got the HUGE gash in my leg )

Way to bump this old, crusty, pus-filled thread.

Don't you have women in Australia to hit on?

I have removed my own stiches before, but never had the privelege of getting hurt bad enough to get stapled. If they gave you the tool, and your GF is a nurse, go for it! just make sure you have some sterile bandages ready because when removed those are gonna bleed.

And Roger, let your guys do the work. The only cuts and lacerations you should be gettting are paper cuts

ah, but you havent given yourself stitches yet. did that too did it with dental floss, unwaxed, unflavored. worked pretty well. i much preferred that to the cautherization.. only thing is cautherization is instant stop of problem, stitches, can break, whatever, not guaranteed to end the problem.

For those who care; yes, it healed up fine. I have a neat scar though...looks like a Crescent Moon gone horribly wrong. :Q
