In the UK, we're told to wrap burns in cling film (which is what it's called over here) before we take someone to the hospital (after running cold water over it for 20 minutes). To prevent infection no doubt. Do you put anything between the burn and the cling wrap? Nope. Everytime I've been taught ...

If you fancy an Optimus but the 111 Hiker seems too big for you, there's a Russian clone of the smaller 8R Hunter available for $40 from A&H Packstoves.

Re: Are you ready to bug out if need be?
I understand that most of y'all are prepared to bug in, thats my plan as well. Yep, I'm planning to bug in unless my home becomes untenable. My answer applies to me; Mrs Sheddi seems to take 4x longer to pack even when it's planned, and the one time we had to get out of the house in a hurry in the ...

Lunch for me goes through phases. Eg. I got a case of HDRs from the US so for the next week or so I had half a HDR for lunch. (The others went in the cupboard or were traded out to my co-workers.) And similarly with 24h ORPs, although one of them lasts 3 days or more. Most recently, lunch was a hun...

The rationale, however flawed, of putting granulated sugar on a wound would be that because it is a solute, and by creating an area of hypertonicity (high solute concentration) you increase the osmotic gradient. Here is a report discussing the use of honey as an antibiotic for topical wound treatme...

Fleece is good... +1. I remember when fleece first hit the shelves in the UK, in the mid 80s. Malden Mills Polarplus cut a swathe through the previous-generation fibrepile garments. I've still got a (rather well worn) Polarlite jacket here. I've got some fleece trousers that it's rarely cold enough...

I'm not buying that at all. What kind of "response mechanisms" do we have now that they didn't have back then? How could health officials have responded that would have made things better back then?

The reason it looks bigger inside than out, is that the sides both slide out and the roof pops up!
