Zombie Squad

I have taken this class and I teach this class. Unofficially is that it does lack chest trauma. If you read the report that it was based off of then you understand that chest trauma in the civ world is a danger. AZMedic, I totally agree. I think this is the "new" change that will be taking place wi...

That is really amazing news. Congratulations!

They are tougher than you'll ever realize and will teach you far more than you ever teach them.

Wanted to know, who knew about this, being a thing this month? Who has taken this class in the past or who teaches this class? Here is a link to the site and you can find one locally to you this month. These should be free, if you find one charging you, look further. https://www.bleedingcontrol.org/...

Found a pretty cool one while looking around

Really a decent tool, imo

The other one I go to

Does anyone use others?

This was crazy, it was the same day Irma was making initial land fall. My first that was, is the world ending? I kid...

Mexico has over a few dozen dead and many issues, this will take a while to clean up.

This is great. I love this story, I hope it continues and closes some of the lose.

Never had any issues with the product. Clean and zero FTF etc...

As for their shipping, not sure what's going on there. Does seem like it takes a bit too long. But then, I am never in a hurry for ammo when I order from them.

See lots wrong in shows and films. Most people don't pick up on small things like that, hell most directors don't either. Remember we see something that happened in 5 seconds. It might have been a 12 hour day with 25 takes and the final cut was done on the 1st cut and the 18th cut to piece it togeth...

Sorry to dig up such an old thread. Found this via google search. I was looking for sheets of loop side velcro for all my patches. Instead I had some automotive audio carpeting laying around (which you can get for about $15 at any auto store of bigger box store) the house. Worked good IMO http://i11...

My thinking about green is that it kind of works everywhere... kinda works in the forest, kinda works in arid areas like where I live... A-Tacs sure as hell works in arid areas... anyone know how it works in the woods? BTW if there's a better thread for this, feel free to point me in the right dire...

Nice work with the kit. Got the wheels turning now.

This question hit me the other day as I was watching a movie. So, I guess my question is; will what causes the SHTF event be a sudden thing (EMP, viral outbreak, other) or will life as we know it just spiral downward until a reset button is hit? Will the later only be a subjective thing (your own pe...

One of the better episodes, at least for me personally. Of course things are what they seem and drama will unfold, it's a show. LOL However, I loved Rick's line. "We'll take it from them". This shows us just how far Rick and his crew will go to stay in this safe place without bowing down. The gang a...

Thank you both. Options are always worth looking into.

Any suggestions on brand/type of generator?

I do not feel this would be a very long term sustainable power source but this winter has taught me a few things. Solar is probably not an option in Michigan unless it mobile and well, I don't have that kind of room also in a grid down situation, a generator would be a "HEY COME GET ME" sign in my n...

Very good thread, with some questions remaining. I guess I can dig some research of my own with the start this thread provides.

Thanks.

First one. Man, there are some IMPRESSIVE weapons and collectors here.

Great thread with tons of excellent ideas.

Times a wasting, get a camera and do a few other things to find out if it really is a person, and who. Then you can proceed from there.

The leg was barely bleeding, loose dressings were applied and we verified pedal pulses. He got the full board collar CID trauma naked, two lines oxygen via NRB at 15LPM, EKG and vitals every 5 minutes ala life pack 12. His pain was around a six but his pressure issues contraindicated any meds on pr...

The ultimate bug out cooler and well, every day thing. The coolest!

I like Joe Nobody's books. Simple, although he does seem to talk down to people. I have "without rule of law" and "holding your ground" Cody Lundin's "when all hell breaks loose" is a solid read and VERY thorough book. SAS survival guide is pretty amazing and they have a very small guide to use as a...

I think the OP handled this the way most rational people would have. Could a call have been made to the PD station to verify? Sure. However things worked out and letting them know you are in possession of a fire arm straight away was also imho the best thing to do. Was he accusing the OP? No, he was...

You gotta give the half a thumb guy credit for trying to do new things. As with any inventor, some of these things work others...well, not so much.

Nope I do not carry one. It seems to be like a piece of soldier gear that makes sense for the army but not for the survivalist. Why? I am not in the army in a war zone. <snip> So those who carry one, what scenario do you see where you need one, and what happens in that scenario after it is put on? ...
