Now the next filter order, not so lucky.

Ordered more filters on March 1st, no update since.

Like I said, if the order didn't get made in Febuary then it isn't coming for a long time

if anyone has any questions hit me

Hypothetically let's say I hit my head really bad and feel like vomiting. Is this worth an ER visit? 😂

YES

Do you have someone that can drive you?

@Potatoes O'Reilly go to the ER.

Looking for recommendations on an IFAK, was looking at https://darkangelmedical.com/d-a-r-k-trauma-kit/

Actually that’s a nice one

Is Mr. Anarchy still alive

Anyone know any background on him? Like location?

As of 21:13 EST he was alive.

Hes in Duluth.

I'm fine now. I appreciate the concern. The nausea and head pain passed in like ten minutes.

Did ya go to the ER?

@Bambi No I didn't, cause I'm dumb. Lol

I hope you don’t have a concussion man. Them shits aren’t a joke.

I knew when I was getting concussions a lot I would end up puking afterwards, which is why I wanted you to go get it checked out

Yeah...no good.

Two bambis?

Hm?

There's two of you.

sure there is

😐

You hit your head pretty hard didn't you

he did

so, snake bites

specifically rattlers

i live in a part of the country where theres a shitload of rattlesnakes and medical assistance may not come quickly, because there arent any ambulances and cell service is abysmal outside of the park

if i'm out and about and i get tagged by a rattlesnake, what should i do? i thought slapping a tourniquet on was the answer to keep the venom from reaching your heart, but it sounds like doing that will basically guarantee you lose your limb because it lets the venom sit and eat away at your tissue

so is there something better if help is hours away? should my plan be just to weigh whether i like my arm/leg more than i like breathing and TQ it anyways?

If the TQ sits on there long enough wouldn't you be losing the limb either way

yeah that was kinda my thought too

if i'm out on a hike and i get bit, i won't have cell service and thus no way to contact a lifeflight. it'll be probably 20-30 minutes to get back to my car, then another 20 minutes to get back to the park where we have a clinic that can handle snake bites

i'm at least an hour away from help and isn't that enough time for a rattlesnake to be lethal

i grew up in missouri, i dont know much about snakes

Bring a suction device, like the ones they use for bug bites.

Also, a TQ.

Sure, the venom might eat but it’s better than it reaching your heart.

yeah that's kinda what i thought too
