Beg to differ. I used to keep one in my medicine cabinet for nose bleeds, and I'd always take one camping back when I used to go all the time. Fun tip: if you ever get a significant wound (size of your finger or so) from a stabbing, falling on a broken stick, etc, just put a tampon in it and cover with duct tape until you can make it a healthcare provider. It's about as good as the sterile gauze they would fill your wound with, but you can do it yourself until you get to the hospital.

I've also known guys who would use them to filter sediment out of water before boiling it.
