I made one of those for an exercise once. They're actually really strong. Finding good sticks was the real problem, but I suppose that depends on where you are.
Gonna have to side with the nopers. I like the job, it's fun and I do like helping people, but it's not a "calling" and faith doesn't really play into it.

I'm putting together a med kit for a bit of an expedition this summer, and I'm trying to find a good way to store and protect pills and ampules on the road. I've looked at a few kits, but they're all either rather bulky or do little to protect and sort the meds. Can anyone suggest any products...
