A major problem was the blood was flowing so fast it was literally just blowing out the super glue. So as I looked around I saw the role of Charmin Ultra Soft. By mixing the Charmin and the super glue it made a quick clot that worked perfect. After about an hour I was able to easily pull the glob of super glue/Charmin off my foot and replace it with just a super glue layer.
In a pinch that combination made a very reliable quick clot device. I hope the story was an entertaining as informative.

THAT was both quite funny and even more informative.
If this thread is Redneck Engineering University and many of the posts would fall into 200,300, and 400 level classes, I've just got a link to something that would be 100 level redneck engineering ideas:

A couple potentially good field expedient ideas:
water bottle lantern
carabiner carry-all
pen spring(and a bit of tape) to protect vulnerable cord connections
cut up PET containers as hasty tools
bread clips for jandals(sandals)
bog roll/paper tower cardboard for holding maps
rubber band across can for painting
iPhone speaker(bog roll tube)
wet sponge frozen in a bag for a drip-proof icebag
