Med Kit

[Humzila]

I have read multiple studies that prove the suction kits to be bullshit

Even the extractor which is syringe style? Never had to use one but always carried one - supposedly even good for wasps. In Florida we are very snake careful.

Link to an interesting forum post listing the pro extraction and anti-extraxction studies.

Sawyer Extractor Snake Bite Kit - Still Relevant? - Backpacking Light

Apparently there have been major revisions in how to treat a snake bite, since I was trained as a kid.

Still makes me cringe inside. Had to do that bone screw IV once. I still can feel the squeaking

Now youre making me squirm, and not in a good way....

There can be only one. I’m living in the woods until the final awakening.

But yeah. I’ve done a lot of different stuff and been fortunate/lucky.

I have something to say. It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

I hear that brother

Shouldn’t drink, shouldn’t smoke, shouldn’t drive fast, shouldn’t shouldn’t shouldn’t.

Fuck that. Life is for living. I have no plans to die in my bed at 80.

No reason to leave a well preserved useless corpse. Slide home in a blaze of glory with nothing left....

Excellent.
I really like those but mine got covered with the big molle panels.

 

[Humzila]

These are really cool for soft molle slots - they slide in and come in black.
Not sharp but a great multi tool.
Just be sure to safety strap them in with Velcro or bungee balls- don’t want the airborne in a rollover.

Yeah. I’m good on a flying axe in an accident. I rolled a sxs really hard doing donuts. Caught a hidden boulder on outside rear tire. Rolled onto roof if was so violent. Obviously not wearing a seatbelt. No door on driverside. It’s hazy but a synthetic stocked rifle broke out of rifle holder. Broke the stock in half at bolt notch with either my shin or head. I’m now really cautious of unsecured shit in the cab of vehicles when I an doing shenanigans.

late fall too. I easily could have been pinned and frozen to death because nobody would’ve heard me yelling where I was on the property

Lessons learned - luckily most don’t kill us...
But that is quite a story and better than choking on a pretzel.

Complete bs

I’m a pain doctor that is really into wilderness medicine

I’ll dig up a list I made for a medical kit I have used on my off grid property
