Re: Medical scenario 1
Honestly, they were talking out of their behinds. Tourniquets have certainly not been regularly used for up to 24 hours in Afghanistan, especially as the average medevac time was just over an hour when I was there. You use a tourniquet until you can get a suitable pressure dressing on, it's not a l...

Re: Is it worth learning to shoot?
Shotgun adapters will be classed as a component part of a firearm as they can be viewed as either a breach or a short barrel. Possession of such without an FAC would be a criminal offence.

Re: Hi
I generally feel that Western Society is on the verge of collapse; financially, socially and morally. I believe that the Government is increasingly interfering with the lives of private citizens whilst spoiling for war with other nations. Being an Island nation it wouldn't take to long for food to r...

Hi
Hello from Northern Ireland.
I've started to get a few preps together, wifes not convinced but I think that starting small is better than not starting at all.
