they know to leave directions of where they are going.

You're already doing better than me friend

If you have the funding, I'd recommend making a trauma specific kit and a 'sick call' kit. not many remember the wound care portion and how many dressings you actually need. I would humbly add a traction splint because even if you're the only one to have in the nearest 150 square miles, someone wil...

There's nothing about useful shelf life. Unless I missed it. There's a buttload of information there. I'm not trying to say there isn't - just I don't know how long is too long to keep it in my back pocket.

Read the professional literature on it. I have a copy of the Merck manual and Physician's Desk Reference from around a decade ago when I last contributed to this website but they are in fact silent on the topic. I know for a fact that some things in particular ciprofloxacin are formulated for decad...

I can't speak to the effectiveness of vac therapy on large wounds; I have had several, and never once had positive results with the big wearable pump and negative pressure dressings. Doesn't stop my doctor from trying though. Full disclosure I am a wheelchair user with repetitive and frequent decubi...

I had a bad thing going on last year, cellulitis infection in my leg. It presented as swelling and redness for which my GP prescribed a ten day course of levofloxacin 500 mg. I took one, saw her the next day, and with no immediate outward signs of improvement, was admitted to hospital with IV vancom...

"discovered novel antivirulence drugs that, without killing the bacteria, render Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) and Streptococcus pyogenes, commonly referred to as strep, harmless" The harm that comes from MRSA etc is not the actual infection. It's in every hospital and tends to ...

Excellent post. Thank you.

im not gonna lie... the tails actually look kinda freaky to me Me too, but earlier the OP said that rat tails are still edible if less desirable. I personally would love to know what happens to the tail if you braise it low and slow - i am guessing it would just be divine! The OP chose to post pics...

In my case, bugging out from a local disaster, no matter how bad, would be career suicide... does anyone know what happened to the public safety personnel who fled New Orleans after Katrina? I'm actually curious, now that I think about it... But given a disaster of sufficient magnitude, we're talki...

to head down to step families farm in Gloucester. I know form holidays there that the farm is capable of housing my immediate family (step family included) for any extended amount of time with minimum discomfort. So my question is, at what point do you draw the line in deciding who stays or goes? A...

That looks so damned good. I wasn't paying a lot of attention until I saw the photos of seared meat and then doused in broth. Damn man that looks so good. Question though, were there any parts that would be chewy or stringy? The western appetite has some amount less tolerance for game meat, and it l...

For me, it is a matter of who will work or not. Food for the short term could be hard, but long term it could be beneficial to have a few extra hands to produce more. What if they had a car full of supplies, but got jumped. I'm confused about how you open up with an ode to self-sufficiency and end ...

I really liked the finale. The last few episodes were losing me, but they really pulled it together for the finale. Hope it gets renewed for another season. I have to disagree. Is the show still worth watching for the premiere in season two; yes - but barely. Maybe it was South Park that called thi...

After trying to convince extended family to prep for themselves, those family member would not be welcome to use the resources that I have been storing for my wife and two children. As much as it would pain me to have to turn family away in a TEOTWAWKI I would do it. Especially those who offered no...

I got a book claiming to be an SAT test about zombies. Still not sure if the two-legged and zero-armed variety is more dangerous than the two-armed and zero-legged variety.

I freaking have a wish list on amazon!

Watching the first season of Good Eats and got to the fish episode called "Hook, Line, and Dinner." I noticed something tonight about pretty much every cooking show I've ever seen about how to cook fish - the first thing the host says is "if it smells like fish it isn't fresh"; the second thing they...

It's a weird situation. Before the new law, nobody was allowed to carry electrics except current and former LEO's and ex military, and everyone was allowed to carry firearms as long as the weapon wasn't concealed or loaded. I'm not a handgun fan, and I can't really explain why - the barrels are alwa...

I'm ex-Army and still keep a subscription to Army Times. I'm always reading about all of the things they are doing to upgrade military weapons. Trying caseless ammo for rifles and all sorts of electronics. It's not far fetched that in 100 years time they will be using rifles with electric fireing p...

Not two years ago, I was rolling down state street with my lady friend when this hopped up hippy dreadlocked moron started railing at me - "Use Hydrogen!" - Yeah - did he not notice that I was using muscle power to locomote my crippled ass down the street, which is a lot more efficient on all scores...

One little slip of the knife is all it takes I guess. You'd think that all this time and energy focused on disaster prep and rebound would help a guy to exercise caution - you'd be wrong. All it took was a single tiny slip of the knife. A man can spend years trying to please six and eight-tops but t...

$500 is a lot - I'd recommend just keeping like - $10 in quarters, 2x$20's and $10 in singles in your bob - you really don't even need the twenty's but the singles and quarters would be awesome if you happened upon a vending machine that still works after you bug out

I support you and the idea of a groupwrite, but I am saddened that zs contributors are not usually predisposed to sustain a thread like this for long. If you have a story you want to share, they are very supportive and sometimes "micro-fanbases" can develop, but on average they don't really engage i...
