couldnt stop laughing with this one. I needed this one on a Monday.

I would be careful using ductape to support splints for broken bones as fractures tend to cause swelling and ductape isn't known to stretch much, as a result, you could have some issues with blood circulation being cut off. if you splint properly the ductape should only barely touch the body part a...

great post. I think a lot of preppers are underprepared for the medical side of things(myself included). It is hard to find supplies in larger quantities to store.

this is a great idea. I travel a lot and I have a kit in my car which was made from my own pesonal experiances travelling. I would add to knuckles list some rope, non perashable food that can be easily opened and eaten (freeze dried or mre style), quick tire foam sealer, tire pump, gloves, road flar...

its a good idea, what kind of skills where you looking for?
