      What are in those 6 boxes .... and an accepting spouse

      ^^^^^^ Ain't THAT the truth!! Great thread though. It has taken quite a few years for my better half to come around, but I am glad I was patient. She is "on board" with anything I can make common sense of, as long as the budget isn't blown!!

      Do not use a tourniquet???

      First I would like to say "Great Thread" as this is a topic where everything from wives-tales to comparing an urban ER or dangerous industrial accident frequency scenario often gets confused with the guy who stubbed his toe and has seven drops a minute coming from the disgorged nail. Yes the...

      Car breakdown kits

      I am with you Paul. Just because I can doesn't mean I should or will repair what breaks. Although I am mostly bald I wouldn't want to mess my hair.

      Elephant In The Room?? No one seems to be talking about it

      I didn't think he would disappear, but the time and resources spent is pretty staggering. Glad its over, but almost too bad he is living to be a media child, my guess.

      Elephant In The Room?? No one seems to be talking about it

      I actually hadn't thought of that. It could be a possibility. Last tally I heard was over $7 million, seems to be rather expensive.

      Elephant In The Room?? No one seems to be talking about it

      I was at first a little surprised that there were no threads started about the guy in PA hiding from the police and how his actions may have lessons. Then I thought "Hey, what am I , chopped liver?" and I should bring it up. I know we have a strong LEO presence amongst the INGO family and I...

      Ebola and my talk with someone who knows more than I ever will.

      ^^^^^ "You need me on that wall, you want me on that wall, in places you don't talk about" and other such quotes that I am paraphrasing. There are already long lists of things that NEED done that some people don't have the "stomach" for. Personally I am allergic to stupid so I do whatever I...

      Monthly Subscription based Survival Box -

      From a business standpoint, it could be a profitable venture. If you see it as a mission to help educate the masses, see post above. That doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, but be creative and keep your price point attractive to those who would use it for someone else, but have no interest or...

      Essential Knots

      Like Rhino, the brain is fleeting in memory. I added the "3D Knots" app to my phone and LOVE it. Of course you look like a weenie if you have to pull out your phone to remember a knot, but eventually it should sink in! I have learned some pretty cool stuff from the app though.

      5 Prepper mistakes that make you look dumb

      Since I am still working in KS at the moment I will say that when I first arrived I was convinced that Microsoft had left the entire state out of the "spell check" function by some intentional evil plot to leave them handicapped. After spending some time with folks here it appears they just...

      Meds for puttin up from Mexico

      Hey all. Had a chat with my Doc today and was told that you can buy amoxicillin OTC in Mexico, along with other stuff that is script only in the U.S. She was asking if I wanted a prophylactic script for antibiotic as we are heading to Mexico for a week as a "just in case" type thing if one of...

      What is the goose population like in NE Indiana?

      Thanks to those of you who chimed in. Wildlife migration has always been an interest of mine and knowing how Canadian geese can become a PITA when they DON'T migrate is also intriguing.

      What is the goose population like in NE Indiana?

      I believe this question belongs here because I was taught to cherish our natural resources, hunt and help to manage the wildlife populations, and of course eat good wild game. I am currently working in Kansas and have been here enough times to know that the SE area of KS has a decent migration...

      The glock of revolvers

      Still laughing about that one. Yes I get it that their proliferation makes them popular for the reasons you state, just makes me feel old to hear that Glocks have been around a long time! I was already down the road in adult life when they arrived on scene. As for the revolver question if you...
