I’d make them PITA-evil, so they’ll learn, but anyone can do the same thing on a family camping or fishing trip, or just driving in a car. If your kids or friends can’t get into that instead of watching movies on DVDs in the car from time to time, probably better to just feed them to pigs now. Anywhere with 200 miles of the Gulf, and especially in NOLA after Katrina was wilderness for some good amount of time. Finally, it’s a good idea to have (or create) an “emergency disaster kit.” A disaster kit is a collection of basic items your household may need in the event of an emergency. I know this because someone told me that when I was about three years old, and it’s stuck like glue to me to good effect ever since. Until you manage to move The Knowledge below from your computer to your brain housing group, and then become able to muster it to your feet and fingertips like a frickin’ Jedi master, it’s just random electrons.

Then it’s a leadership problem as well as a medical emergency. Then they add TCCC, etc., and then voila! These will not teach you everything (though it may feel like it sometimes), and in many cases they’ll give you tons more than you need to know, including about a lot of stuff you don’t need to know, strictly speaking. But they contain most of what you do need, and give you room to grow, should you choose (or be forced to by necessity), beyond the bare basics. Real-life cases in point: The Mexican military deploys the G3 rifle; the near world-standard FN MAG GPMG (that’s the M240 to us), and the same M2 .50 BMG we’ve used since WWI. Neither do I, at this moment, care to impart one single whit of martial history, customs of the service, military ranks, or other arcana. Every single task for every soldier Army-wide, broken down to the individual steps.

The Guidebook For Marines, which is privately published, not available anywhere as a pdf, and distills yards of Army field manuals down to the quick-and-dirty essentials. Using these below, I’ll point to specific chapters, sections, pages, etc. as I break it down into bite-sized chunks. Happy Monday. Welcome to the Knowledge Issue Point. The show of violence by Lebanon’s two main Shiite Muslim parties is a turning point in the uprising, which protesters say has transcended for the first time the sectarian and party divisions that tend to dominate Lebanese politics. Wilderness first aid is great, and largely what I’m aiming at. First aid is meant to treat minor injuries so it is never a matter of life and death. In general, supports that are made to use over existing injuries and to stop them from becoming worse will be larger and stronger than ones just being used for prevention. Some days it will be the senior medic. It is worth mentioning that in spite of the fact that the plant’s resin will cause immediate reactions on the body, the real rash takes up to two days to emerge. Some days it will be the biggest guy.

You’re talking about dealing with trauma and illness in diverse places, where 9-1-1 may well be the guy with the aid bag, for some days, or forever. The books below will get you through tough times, and may very well save your life, and not by stopping a bullet when you carry one of them in your shirt pocket. Older versions, anything from about 1980 onwards, are generally worth the trouble as well. For instance, I have multiple copies of FM 5-15, Field Fortification, dating from roughly 1920, 1940, 1955, 1968, and 1980. Why? But after nuclear weapons became a thing, and trench warfare went away, that wasn’t seen as quite as important, so it’s not in the 1968 or 1980 editions. I also provided dates, because that’s how they change editions. Note that recently the Army, in its institutional wisdom, elected to change the field manual (FM) numbering system that had sufficed from about 1920-2010 or so, just to make things more complicated. Just find the courage to go online and obtain the online CPR certification; you cannot know when the things learned about CPR and First Aid in general are going to prove useful and even essential for saving a person’s life.

DA pub, is available at the link as a free pdf, and does a great distillation of things for the Army’s best infantry experts. But with this link list, you can get your hands on them for mouseclicks, plus the bandwidth and time. It is therefore very important to be prepared all the time. Small loads with frequent return trip are desirable to fulfill needs that are changing from time to time. Coach and bus services Ontario aren’t complete without the services of trip attendants and the driver. There are two primary active ingredients in the Dinair airbrush tanning solutions – Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and Erythrulose. All of these links are active as of today, and since they only cost electrons, you’d be a fool not to download them, and put them on flash drives, at a minimum. If possible, put it back in the socket and hold it there. There are several personal qualities which you should look for when looking for a first aider.
