Cam Hanes At Home Stitches

[Jason Snyder]

I have oodles of respect for what Cameron has been able to accomplish physically. This however, seems to be more of a PR/feed the hype stunt. It's not really even all that good of advice from a medical standpoint. Go back and read what Mike7 said. You don't want to be cleansing that wound with hydrogen peroxide, and if you're in the field you don't want to be closing that wound up with sutures.

The wound is directed upwards. Unless you can be very sure you've got it clean, when you suture it you're going to potentially trap debris in there, and with the direction of the wound it won't drain well.

Steri strips and tape will work just as well, just won't look as manly.

Cameron Hanes' Backcountry Bowhunting is what got me into the wilderness, minimalist, off-the-beaten track style of mountain hunting that's become my passion. While some of the Beastmode stuff can come across as over-the-top, my experiences have shown Cam to be a genuine, caring, helpful hunter who is just as passionate about hunting as we are. I have a ton of respect for him and think he's a great ambassador for what we do.

Anyone who's making money in the hunting industry is a target by the jealous few.
Go Camermon! He's done a lot of good for the backcountry hunter. I hope he gets more sponsors. I'd hate them to go to posers.

I'm not a Cam hater. But I agree. Didn't need to stich that and it's not like your in the middle of nowhere. Being a firefighter I see some narly wounds. The other day saw a guy who was drunk who tried to cross a river up in the national forest . he got a huge cut across his calf to the bone. Some other drunk guy sewed it up! Lol

I don't need to see this to know Cameron is tough. Running marathons and ultra is enough for me to know he is tough

How many of us would like the opportunity to hunt as much as he does and get paid to do what he does? Probably a few of us would like to do what he does. Some of us on here already do that and aren't paid by companies or really take pro deals. But I bet a few of us would jump in his shoes If we could. I do think the "beast mode" thing gets taken too far. But I will say this he really doesn't "push" as much gear as a guy would think and really pushes guys to push themselves. But I really didn't need to see him stitch up a paper cut either.

I'm not a hater. In fact, I must have been living under a rock for the last 20 years because I've never heard if him. Either way, stitching that "wound" is just silly.

What is wrong with watching movies? What kind of movies is the question.

About every other time I call Aron he is leaving, heading too, or in the movies. The last one I remember was Magic Mike and I don't think his wife was there either.

I know I sure would want to get to hunt more! Even hunt other states would be cool. Oh we'll I just got to be thankful for what I have.

I remind my self of this often. One day I will be able to afford an out of state hunt perhaps. Or a job that I have more vacation.

For some insane reason, I never get tired of seeing that video Dotman.

I find the staples work great on dogs (even though I've rarely used them on pets), because they are quick and don't require the dog to sit completely still like sutures. Those skin staplers can be very expensive though if you can't get free leftovers.

Cheers Mike7, I discovered staples way too far down the track. Free, what's free? lol

Thanks for your advice in both posts, imo well worth reading and taking on board, as is yours Jason.

KMT , I hadn't heard of him either until I joined up on Rokslide so you are not alone.

Cmeier 117 , be careful what you wish for . I had just a little taste of being a semi professional fishermen in the late eighties and early nineties and I care tell you that there is a ton of work and pressure to perform. In the end I burned out and I haven't fished regularly since. I can't even remember when I last went fishing and don't wait too long to make that job choice and put life experiences before collecting possessions. I don't know how old you are but I'm 45 and I wish I had put life experiences before the american dream 20 years ago. I'm not saying walk away from responsibility but evaluate your life based on what you want and not family and societies expectations.

I am 24 years old and trying to get my CPA license. Not sure If I am going to make it. I hate taking tests, luckily I have a supportive wife and two great boys at home. I am currently looking for other work in accounting at my local hospital. Vacation is 4 weeks a year and that would be nice, and I may make more money in the long run anyhow.

Good luck with your CPA exam , I have heard that it's a ball buster. Funny part is that the guy who told me about it scored the highest score in the state of Florida when he took it and has never worked as a CPA a day in his life since passing.

Super glue is best. Unless you get a squirter than gotta lance it back open to get internal stitches that was tons o fun

Speaking of super glue, how do you guys carry it? I had some leak on pullout once & ruin it, then I put it in plastic baggy of some sort & it turned the bag brittle from the inside out. Is it just me or what?

I use to use the " movie " cop out when I didn't want to talk to someone.. Just sayin.

I have a tiny heavy glass jar thats just the right size for the hard tube of superglue. I don't know what the jar is from or where to get another but it has ridden in my truck , possibles pouch , ect for years. Before that I had one bust and ruin the contents of a pouch including a really nice treebrand folding knife glued shut.

See what I mean? I didn't even know he was in the movie till I googled it?

 

[Jager]

Superglue was originally developed to treat battlefield wounds, however the name know is a generic term, not sure I would use any old superglue to pour into my body, perhaps Mike7 can give a heads up on this?
