i have tailored my pack for a more evasive purpose. if i have to get out of dodge and dissapear into the woods i stay gone for a bit. thats why i have my old woodland cammies, red lense, etc. nothing bright, nothing that sticks out

@Lebens i have a pack of purification tablets in my first aid kit as well.

2017-07-24 16:02:43 UTC  

This is a good starter book. Lots of great info on here. But you can't just read this and expect to be able to do it, you have to go out and actually practice these things. I'm not suggesting you go out in the woods Bear Grylls style. Don't do that lol. But you can make a fire, tie knots, build a shelter, make a water filter out of sand and charcoal all in your back yard if you can or go out camping for the week end and try out some things

Ah, almost forgot the most important item. Baby wipes. Good for cleaning weapons and body. You're not gonna want to use leaves for wiping your ass. I've done this, you don't want this

2017-07-24 17:51:11 UTC  

Tampons for wounds too?

2017-07-24 17:51:29 UTC  

Asking for a friend

2017-07-24 17:51:35 UTC  

Lol

2017-07-24 18:10:20 UTC  

@Lebens lol no. I've heard of people having those in their kits but I wouldn't recommend it. Most gun shot wounds are gonna be bigger than that. I have combat gauze in mine. But normal gauze to pack the wound is fine.

2017-07-24 18:15:02 UTC  

That's one of those things that when I hear people bring up in forums I roll my eyes.

2017-07-24 18:16:45 UTC  

@Lebens they make quick clot plungers that can fill deep wounds easily.

2017-07-24 18:17:10 UTC  

some medics refer to them as "tampons"

2017-07-24 18:19:23 UTC  

Thought he was talking about literal tampons. Some people unironically have those in their kit

2017-07-24 18:20:09 UTC  

What I have.

2017-07-24 18:21:22 UTC  

combat gauze is great stuff if anyone cannot find it due to it being a surplus item the regular quick clot or celox products are essentially the same thing

@Louis Loire - NY it is great stuff. I've got more than I know what to do with cause I saved all my first aid stuff from the military.

2017-07-24 18:24:28 UTC  

same I "acquired" quite a bit of supplies before my ETS

2017-07-24 18:48:10 UTC  

@Louis Loire - NY nice someone got the joke

2017-07-24 19:05:34 UTC  

I look forward to learning other branches techniques. The navy didn't go very in depth on these things with my rate

2017-07-24 19:52:07 UTC  

Any opinion on this http://www.zeltbahn.net/tent.htm or similar products

2017-07-24 19:55:43 UTC  

I've got so much knowledge I want to lay down but I don't want to overwhelm people

2017-07-24 20:01:58 UTC  

http://m.ebay.com/itm/221964379086?_mwBanner=1 I thought these looked pretty interesting, I just don't know if it's worth it over getting a normal tarp

2017-07-24 20:06:06 UTC  

any surplus poncho is good stuff because you can also use it as a shelter if its made the same way the US ones are

2017-07-24 20:06:34 UTC  

if you don't already have a "woobie" (US poncho liner) get one now
