DIY First Aid Kit
You can reuse them if you don't pop stitches during practice. A quality brand will be fine, assuming you're limited in practice use and not teaching classes. I retire them them after they reach exp date(~10 yrs), get left out in the sun or go on a patient. -
Sciatica?
I'll update my previous post with this: After 24 years of no sciatic pain post op, I slipped on an ice patch at work this March and have been dealing with dibilitating sciatic pain including piriformis pain like no other. If I had fallen I don't think I would have ruptured those two discs. I...- Sled

F&*kin Pack Rats!
All these stories ring true for me. The last one picked up all my dog poop at the cabin and anything shiny. This past fall I had a run-in with a pack rat while I was sleeping in Northern Colorado near a job site on BLM land. He woke me up around 2:30 trying to drag thick sage limbs into the...- Sled

Did you come close to getting him once before? Where's the rest of his fluffy tail?- Sled

Anti seize and barrels
All the research I've done on it led me to nickel based antiseize. That's what I've been using for the last decade or so. No issues so far but I never tried other products so... -

F&*kin Pack Rats!
That's why you use something shiny. The mice hit peanut butter but not tinfoil. Don't leave it on the edge of a wall or the mice could inadvertently trip it. I trap pack rats every fall. If you have them in spring, they've been there for a while. Their urine will attract the next pack rat...- Sled

DIY First Aid Kit
You're correct. I do greater than 10:1 but I don't work in the city where people get stabbed and shot. I see very few sucking chest wounds but I've needle decompressed dozens. I carry a couple 14g 3" for that purpose when snowmobiling. I do not carry those while hunting but I do have knife... -
Stuck CB in suppressor and unscrewed my whole barrel. I didn’t know I was so strong
Well it wasn't a factory Tikka barrel, that's for sure. I use a nickel base antiseize on my threads to keep them free. I torque by hand when hot and let it cool. Haven't had one stuck or loose this way. -
DIY First Aid Kit
In a best case scenario you'd see the person drop in the hospital, get a couple rounds of compression to cycle in fresh blood and then use the AED. If you get a perfusing rhythm back you can wheel them into a cath lab. Early defibrillation does work but there's more to it than that. In the... -

Snake bite
I've had 2 occurrences. Both times I was running. Once on a trail and once boulder hopping in an avalanche path. Both times they got boot or pant leg and did not make contact with the skin. Seems if you surprise them they will react.- Sled

Squeaky pack
I used cloth athletic tape on my kuiu frame that drove me nuts from squeaking. Originally tried graphite dry lube but that was a mess and rather short lived fix. -
DIY First Aid Kit
Good info. I'll add that if it's life or limb, choose life. If you'll be further than 6-8hrs from definitive care you can loosen the tq after packing the wound tight with whatever clean material you can fit in and use pressure. I keep rolled gauze or hemostatic z-gauze for this purpose. If... -
I'm buying a Sub $1000 gun, narrowed down to 2 choices. Need input.
If you made me pick between only those two, browning. You'd want to keep that rifle in it's factory configuration and just shoot it. -
DIY First Aid Kit
I've been a professional rescuer for a couple decades now. Some people are going to die no matter what you do. In the wilderness it can happen easier than back home due to transport time. Stop bleeding, keep them warm or cool as the case may be for heat emergencies and stabilize as best you... -

DIY First Aid Kit
An AED wouldn't be on my list unless I were hunting with someone who has a history of A-fib and even then I might not bring it. You can cardiovert and benefit them. If they're in V-fib or asystole, call the medical examiner. There's a small percentage of people who can be saved by early... -

DIY First Aid Kit
That's pretty comprehensive. I have similar meds but only carry a tq, curlex role, abd pad, and z-fold hemostatic gauze. If you can stop the bleeding you have a chance. If you need a chest seal in the woods you're probably SOL unless it's eastern hunting with a hospital nearby.
