I've carried superglue in my packs for years for both first-aid and repair purposes but never had a need for it (first-aid wise) until this weekend.
Sliced my right index finger near the tip when I looked away (i.e. not paying full attention) from what I was cutting. A real bleeder ensued.
Being 4 miles from my truck I attempted a bandage with some gauze and duct tape but I bled through that in short order.
Decided to try the super glue as temporary stitches trick. Worked really well. Saved my hike!
