Single use antibiotic ointment packet

There is a lot of great information out on the internet, most is hard to find due to the amount of useless crap cluttering the search results. One small idea was learned from reading a blog by Brian Green, he is a avid backpacker and has done some really great gear reviews. I would like share a great idea he posted, a single use antibiotic packet.

I have a first aid kit in my pack that had a couple of antibiotic ointment packets, they are fairly large with way more ointment then one would use in a single cut or blister. I hate to be wasteful and decided to look for a better option. Using a drinking straw you can make a very small packet of antibiotic ointment. For instructions on making these check out his blog. I have made about seven from one straw and have them in a small plastic bag in case one does burst by accident.
