>>300716>>300674Fair enough, I didn't look at OP's picture for more than a glance, I just told him to make his own(
>>299767 was me). I didn't realize you were critiquing the posted kit (in
>>300563), the way you used "pic related" without your own pic didn't make sense until now.
Regardless! I will defend the scissors (and the tweezers). Although, I'm going to defend actual medical scissors like
>>300553 has posted and my picture.
Anyway, scissors are used for cutting gauze, clothes and other things as may come along (e.g. an arrow. You wouldn't want to pull it out and increase bleeding but you could do without an extra 65cm of wood/carbon/etc sticking out while you get to hospital). They're useful in cutting clothes around wounds where otherwise normally removing clothes would cause additional damage, is otherwise impossible(e.g. swelling), or time is of the essence.
Cutting gauze is still applicable even in the OP's case. Perhaps you need more than the amount of an included size gauze pad; you can just cut them out. Run out of bandages? Gauze and tape. Is the medium size too small but the large size too big? Scissors to the rescue! They're a versatile tool and proper ones can handle quite a bit.
Tweezers are also useful! They can be used to remove things like quills and wood splinters. More importantly they remove ticks without leaving the head behind or causing them to vomit back into the wound.
