Ok every one who has found this will be pissed at me but.
ok if you have bandages from the first aid kit and sticks (to make splint) the ones i have are ruined.)
use bandage till 0% it will stay in our inventory. then combine with sticks as much as you want. you will get a message saying nothing left but you still get a splint added to your inv. can repeat as much as you need. or as much as your inv has space.
