X 2 ...

I now wear one after a cut that took 5 stitches to close, a good gash. Funny thing about that -20 hunt, I couldn't understand why there so much blood still coming. I realized, it was coming from me, I never felt a thing...haha

As for the rubber gloves; I am in the camp of why not stay a clean as you can and whatever I bring, comes home with me.

I always have a first aid kit, soap, hot water and towels....the latter for cleaning knives, tools, saw and me if necessary etc....

This is what works for me, to each his/her own.
