Re: Soil Fertilisers/improvers.

I'm still new to the allotment and trying to figure stuff out. One thing I would consider about soil is getting a bunch of worms and making a worm bed. You could collect the dropping and if I remember right it makes for good soil. I read something about it years ago. Guess I should look into it agai...

Re: Medical scenario 1

We had a bit of a discussion during our last training about raising the legs. As far as I know you don't raise the legs if they have a leg, spinal injury, or if it will cause them pain. Thinking about it I would throw pelvis injury in there as well. Malthouse I'm interested where you got the info fr...

Re: Medical scenario 1

Whats your opinion on using super glue for wound closures, it's probably going romp be a lot easier to get hold of post SHTF than proper medical stuff? Also tea tree oil seems pretty useful and seems to have a long shelf life any does and don't s for using it? With cauterisation do you just keep th...

Re: Medical scenario 1

Time to give my answer to the scenario. Keeping in mind that I have a lot of medical experience and have a good bit of medical kit, I'm trying to look at this as a post SHTF situation and using things that most preppers would have. Hopefully this will get some of you thinking about new things to pre...

Re: What preps are you doing this week? part 2.

My son and I went fishing for the first time last month. The only thing we caught was frostbite. I don't see it being a way of survival for me at the moment. At least we have a lot of rabbits around if we ever needed food.

Medical scenario 1

Ok this scenario is for non-medical people out there. I'm interested in seeing how someone would deal with a medical/trauma situation. Please try and think of this scenario as if you were in a post SHTF situation and you were only using the items and knowledge (books, training) you have already prep...
