Randy,
Remember a PSK isn't nearly as big as a GHB: 12 Germ-X (my brand of choice) will take a lot of space. You and the bride could get by with (3) each for 72 hours. They can be "reactivated" with water after they dry out.
A PSK should be able to be carried discreetly.

Not exactly. They use to come with a thimble sized rubberish "globe" that let you use the light like a lantern. The only reason I use the Maratac AA in lieu of a superior Streamlight product is the size. The AA is tiny. The second picture shows the "globe" or "lantern" on... http://www.countycomm.com/aaworldssmallest.htmlOK, I've had one of those lights for several years but I never got one of the defusers. OK, I was wrong. I have one of the AAA lights. Now THAT is TINY!

Yeah I will just use one P51 and I wasn't sure about the packing tape, thanks for the tip. Bleach, yeah I thought about it spilling out as well, but figured I could come up with something to hold it. If not, oh well.

I forgot, we also keep space blankets in our PSKs. I can't edit the OP.
I edited it for you Gary. Check to make sure I did it right.

Gary, I think I have everything figured out on your list but this
(1) USGI Sealed Adhesive Bandaid
Can you elaborate on it some?
We've got a gun/knife show coming up the first weekend in March and I think I will look for some stuff there.

They come in the mil issue IFAK. It's just a normal bandaid, but is in a waterproof little baggy.

By checking out the lumens of the Maratac lights, my 3AAA model is only a few behind the 2AA, so I could just use that instead.
