Reviews \ First Aid & Hygiene
	Coleman Cleansing Cloths Tub Great to clean and moisturize your skin anytime bathing is not an option. The PH-balanced formula with aloe vera is rinse-free and hypoallergenic. These also have anti-bacterial properties to kill germs. The only drawbacks are the fragrance and the large size of the container. Both mosquitoes and bears are attracted to fragrance.

	Baby Wipes Like the Coleman wipes, baby wipes are also pH-balanced, rinse free and hypoallergenic. Though they may lack the anti-bacterial ingredients found in adult wipes, they are more importantly, available in unscented formulas. This must be taken into consideration if venturing into bear-infested areas since scent attracts bears (and biting insects for that matter). Okay, if you still cant decide well also let you know that baby wipes are generally cheaper than hygiene products specifically designed for recreational or military use. Baby wipes also come in resealable plastic packets that don't take up much space. Do you need wipes at all? Ultimately the choice is yours: a few stinky germs vs. man-eating bear.

	Japanese Paper Soap 50 single-use sheets of paper soap in an easy-carry pouch. One sheet is enough to either wash your hands, or wash your pits and crotch. Take along a packet of these sheets of soap when traveling or working. They're easier to pack than a bar of soap and there's no worry about messy spills in your luggage. The sheets dissipate so there's nothing to throw away. This lightly scented soap does not create sudsy lather, but it does clean your hands. Contrary to popular belief, it is not the foaming agent that cleans. This is a good idea, but you could carry a bar of soap (that would last more than 50 washes) in a zip lock bag for a fraction of the price.	Quantity: 12 wipes Size: 7 x 8.26cm Rating:
	Stay Alert Gum Stay Alert caffeine supplement chewing gum now comes as part of the standard military MRE ration. There are three flavors of Stay Alert: cinnamon, spearmint, and arctic mint. All three flavors are very strong, which helps the user stay alert. The outer shell of the gum crumbles when you first begin chewing, but quickly becomes gummy as you chew. The cinnamon and spearmint tend to have a slight chemical taste, like youre chewing on a cleaning product and not gum. The flavors are very pleasant at first, and then they build in your mouth into a flavor filled chemical crescendo. Trust us, youll be alert. And the flavor and texture of Stay Alert last for well over an hour. There aren't as many pieces of gum per pack compared to the competition, but each piece of gum is a little more substantial. Also, the packaging is a little lighter and stealthier. So far Stay Alert is the best thing out there.	Weight: 16g Quantity: 5 Rating:
	Jolt Gum This gum contains caffeine, Guarana, and Ginseng. Available in Spearmint and Icy Mint. This gum got members of our staff through Ranger & Sapper School, where the only edibles your allowed to take are gum and chewing tobacco. This gum is perfect if you need a way to stay awake and alert for three days straight. 2 pieces of Jolt Gum = 1 cup of coffee. One piece = a "regular" cola. A pack of Jolt Gum has 12 pieces that's the same as a cup of coffee for you and 5 friends. Do the math! Is your coffee shop offering you 6 cups of coffee for less than $2.00?

	Penguins Gum Sugar-free, fat-free, energy packaged, and in a portable tin. There were no coffee or soda caffeine equivalents listed for this gum. Strong mint flavor freshens breath. Our staff tested this gum and found that it's flavor lasts a long time, but the gum's consistency thins out.	Weight: 25g Quantity: 20 Rating:
	Penguins Caffeinated Mints Sugar-free, fat-free, and energy packed. All in a portable tin. 3 Penguin Caffeinated Mints are the caffeine equivalent of 1 cola beverage. These mints are not overly strong like Altoids. Great for night ops when alertness is a must, but the rattling tin isn't the best for silence.	Weight: 49.6g Quantity: 75 Rating:
