For "Survivors" Eyes Only

My last post just had the word "c""r""a""p" edited out of it. Is it just me, or are the PA censors a wee bit too vigilant?

Unreal!!!!!!, there they go treating us like kids again, you would think that all of us being adults here can say what we want as far as swearing goes. To the mods. GROW UP! No wonder you're so busy because you're nitpicking everything. P.S. Did I cross my T's and dot my I's? Did I spell everything correctly? I'm 46 not 3, jesus.

Maybe I'll have to teach you all to swear in Dutch then?
And when they've banned that we can switch to German or French. Merde!

HC, I agree with you that a few good beers are good for understanding and accepting one another.
I remember the archery-compatitions where the blokes were running around with deadly weapons as compound and hunting bows, with big razorsharp bowieknives on their hips and at night we all enjoyed a nice fire having a few (sometimes a lot) of beers and nothing bad ever happened.

C'est merde, vraiment!

But, its their forum, they can do as they please.

You're right I guess, haven't they heard that "sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me"..... Wow, I haven't said that in about 40 years! LOL

Hi all,

I just found the following site - it has some useful information about water procurement in the wild. Granted, the ideal will be locate on a source of freshwater, or have local control of communal water distribution system (as is the case for Peer), but some of this might be useful for folks on the go, or those who can't settle themselves near water.

I apologize in advance - the pop-up ads on this cite are a pisser, but there is some good info on this site. I particularly like the fact that the authors deal with the psychological ramifications of survival - something that should be considered by all.

Here it is: http://www.wilderness-survival.net/

Speaking of the psychology of survivalism, here is a sight that offers a succinct analysis of the Buddhist belief about the survivalist perspective.

Whether you agree or disagree with it, it is something to to consider. Perhaps it will bring us humility while we prepare.

Some Suggestions for a Mobile Medical Kit

My mobile medical kit goes with me on every camping trip, and may be an invaluable resource while “on the go.”

A simple backpack will work – and the simpler (and cheaper) the better. What you should really care about is the width of the main inner compartment, and the quality of the zipper. You should pick something dark; mine is dark forest green. Once you have it, cram it full of the following:

A big roll of masking tape (commercial medical tape is flimsy and expensive), and a big roll of duct tape.
A big roll of gauze (forget band aids).
Two elastic bandages, and a package of safety pins.
A big tube of antibiotic cream.
A pack of needles, and spool of black medium gauge thread.
One bottle of alcohol, and one bottle of hydrogen peroxide.
One pint of Everclear – doubles as alcohol when you run out, and anesthesia if needed.
One bottle of high dose acetaminophen, and one bottle of high dose aspirin.
One package of water purification tablets, and one big bottle of water (from the store).
One scalpel or exacto knife and one pair of hemostats.
A cigarette lighter.
A set of clean syringes – for fluid and poison extraction, not for injection.
Take a heavy duty bath towel, cut it into two inch wide strips running length ways, put them on top of each other and roll them up into a disk, and cram them into your backpack. They’ll serve as tourniquets and splint ties.
A big bottle of good multi-vitamins.


That will leave a little space for person-specific needs, such as prescription medicines for the body, and other herbal remedies for the soul.

If I have left any of the basics out – please note it.

Good things to have for sure!, I would also suggest some zip lock baggies for lighters and matches just in case everything gets wet. Question, why does it matter what color the bag is?, you said pick something dark, just wondering.
