Stercutus, what do DPS and P&P stand for?

List has been updated with recent submittals. Thanks, folks!

For those of us who don't have that luxury...

Is there any federal law stating that an employer would HAVE to let you off work (even it it's without pay) for the duration of a mandatory quarantine? How about a voluntary quarantine?

What quality of ammunition do you stockpile? And in what quantity? I figured most people stocked piles of whatever crap ammo they could get their hands on cheaply for range work and general blastin' purposes, then had a secondary stock of SHTF ammo (i.e., higher cost, higher quality, higher perform...

Typical home user small kits are not likely to last over a long term scenario Well, this is my semi hang-up on this discussion. Is the concern that a person is going to wear out or break a boresnake, flexible cleaning rod (the Otis family of cleaning supplies are indeed awesome), or a multi-piece o...

I don't believe the report which is why I think there should be an independent investigation of the incident. Any police department outside of St. Louis Co this would probably be good enough but they've cultivated such a negative reputation that I cannot take them at their word. So while you say fa...

Stuff about shoestrings Instead of stuffing shoestrings into guns... Buy a boresnake. Or a flexible cleaning rod. Or use any of literally dozens of items purposefully designed to clean a gun barrel . Use the shoestrings for something they were designed for... Like tieing your shoes! :clap:

Tourniquets had long been vilified in civilian EMS, but lessons from their liberal use in the recent Iraq/Afghanistan wars have shown just how viable they are: a TQ is really NOT automatically a choice between life and limb. This knowledge has been spilling over into civilian EMS, albeit slowly. Th...

Yep, you get my first official 'thanks' for this one, my friend!

My wife carries an epi-pen, this info could be a lifesaver.

So.... What handguns have a slide release that = huge? I've got an aftermarket slide release and extended magazine release on my G19. It doesn't make them huge, just nubs them out a bit more. I still find myself doing overhand rack when doing any kind of non admin firing. Also, I've noticed that som...

I'm not totally surprised at the ER response. Emergency rooms aren't really in the 'first aid' business. They are in the 'definitive care' (or close to it) business. Nurses and doctors working there might not even know how to do field level trauma care. That isn't a bust on them, it's just a fact. T...

Are izzy bandages/pressure dressings worth having in this scenario? Or are basic trauma pads and tape more simple and equally effective over a 20 minute span? Izzy's are great, they are basically an ace wrap with a gauze pad built in. Cheap, too. They do play the same roll as the pads and tap, thou...

A good ready-made TQ will take care of major extremity bleeds, a couple of 5 x 9 gauze pads and a roll of 4" gauze and 2" medical tape will take care of extremity wounds that are NOT major bleeds. Chest/torso shots can be addressed with 1 or 2 trauma dressings (basically large gauze pads) and severa...

Your local neighbors who can't afford to see a doctor, or who choose not to vaccinate, or send their kid to daycare sick because they can't afford to miss work, or who don't wash their hands after going to the rest room, are a much bigger at least as big of a threat to your health than as some kid ...

Really high production quality on this video, SnoMan. Thanks for posting!

Really a pleasure, my friend. Another quality short story. Thanks!

Do you completely understand why she is on a hard line stance here? Not trying to be too personal, but if there is a gigantic underlying issue, then you should have already known about this before tying the knot, no? If this is simply moral prerogative, you might be able to convince her otherwise. ...

TheZone, that was frackin' awesome. Loved the fixation on numbers and the way you incorporated it into every aspect of the story. Loved the short length, and the way you managed to cram the entire history of the apocalypse into it. Loved the description of how 'the system' broke down. Loved the lack...

Link added in the OP for my review of the Pistolwear holster.

That whole post screams... "I think these things are complicated, even though I have never tried them to realize if they are or not, so I am going to make a "witty" remark about how everyone else is full of shit because they can't possibly be more prepared than I am". Yup. That's totally it. :roll:...

Of course we aren't born knowing how to "do things"! That is why preparation is stressed in many threads on this site. Preparation,to me, isn't just storing store-bought stuff---it's also learning how to become more independent. Really? Huh. Never occurred to me... :wink: My larger point (and I thi...

Kelvar, I get the point you're making. Even 'primitive' skills like canning have been heavily influenced and improved by modern technology and manufacturing, and if that goes away things get...different. Some of the responses make me think of a layperson describing how to perform an appendectomy: "A...

So to ZS people there, what say you about my line of thinking? I think that you are vastly overstating the risk level of the current environment. To be clear: What is being contested is about a half-mile of space, on West Florissant road, between Chambers road to the north and Canfield to the south...
