This seems like a good idea...citing sources and information. Personally, I am challenged on which source says what and can I list the journal article, date, etc to back up my information. ...
I agree with the above post that Spot Messengers is a great thing to investigate. http://www.findmespot.com/en/ Inexpensive and reliable, they allow for one to be able to hike around the area of...
Great tips! TY!!
I agree that urine color is generally a very good marker of hydration. I cannot take credit for the clever rhyme, though. I have always stuck with "liquor before beer...in the clear, beer before...
Wow--great info on this thread! I deal with this problem a bit, myself. Not major SHTF issues but lost medications on remote travels in the bush or overseas, etc. All the advice has been "spot on"...
Hey guys and girls-
I was doing some review of staying hydrated in hot weather climates and came across an "old favorite" in the process. I really took a lot out of this aticle and thought a few...
Those links to previous posts/discussions were great! Thanks!
Hello all--
I know this subject has been done to death but I had a few questions and a need of ideas for a survival/walking/hiking staff. I am looking for a modular (three piece) staff that is...
I am one of the last people too claim "expert level" with something, but a potato gun...man, that is my bag, baby.

Hehe, just when I think I get a line on something new and unique, I am reminded that I am still VERY MUCH a student in these subjects and "standing on the shoulders of giants". I am very glad to...

awwww......shucks, thanks :)
In truth, that is not my statement. As with most everything I know, it is repeated from more proficient people than myself. That "two is one, one is none" came from...
I have to preface with the fact that I have never needed or used a firearm in a "survival scenario" and feel quite lucky about that. I do have some familiarity with firearms, primarily in remote...
I know this can be a tired topic but...

When in doubt...do your homework.
Field guid to Wilderness Medicine (P. Auerbach) addresses this, loosely. Of course epinephrine, antihistamines and steroids are the mainstays. However, the text...
I found this article on WebMD that seemed to metion all the above things, including a nasay rinse/spray.

I as discussing the scenario with the lady and she had a great comment:
Who ever has the gun automatically has everything else, including water. :D
I was at a conference this weekend and we ran a desert survival scenario, for an exercise in teamwork. I thought it was pretty cool! (Our team totally rocked, by the way!)
Thought some might be...
I managed to pull about 76-78 hours, at one sitting. This was during an "adventure race" where sleep is not too common. I can also attest that I had a lot of problems, but suprisingly fatigue...
I actually got a few from Rick and I am very happy with mine. We even got one that we could "break down" to see how they unraveled. Very easy and a clever idea.
Thanks Rick!!
Doom--I am going to steal that line...great!

Great post SgtDoom! I think protection from the sun cannot be overemphasized. I grew up in the sonoran desert and love nothing more than a long trail run, in the afternoon, at about 105 degrees. ...
Those are all good considerations...
The way I think of it, they are literally, already dead. These are things that are covered under DNR orders. If a peson doesn't want CPR, they can stipulate...
