so i have been watching two seasons of a show called the colony on net flix basis is the world ends you have a small group of people in an area with limited supplies.... survive....!
and watching this makes me think about how much I know and how much I dont know. Some of the ideas did not impress me when others made me put it in my mental note book like hey remember that.
but it also made me think was i ready, if i ever had to be in that situation. I do have a survival pack that i built a little while ago when i went on a camping trip it was my just in case bag that has many supplies, with 12 day survival supplies. ammo, medical supplies. for giggles i have protein seed kits.
does anybody have a just-in-case pack and what are some unusual items that others might over look, that you carry in yours or any unusual ideas that are good knowledge to have.
heres mine
surgical skin stapler with quick clot sponge. for major cuts people always think bandages and such but never about major cuts i have had to use one on my knee in the ozarks it hurt like hell but did come in handy because we were miles and miles for any where.
a good how to: that i like to store in my mind is when you get or are lost and need to start a fire and maybe do not have a fire starter or lost yours but find your self with a broken or dead cell phone which is now useless the battery can make a great one time fire starter. i tried it a few times with a few old batts i had from old phones sitting around took me a few times and was not as easy as it looks but i did get it to work a few times a few different ways.
