wnen around me superglue are...!!
Hi...
CAUTION: before buying over-the-counter "superglue" for any type of wound treatment, be SURE to check with your MD. You'll probably find that it's NOT compatable with wound care.
Wound care takes a "special" type of superglue...!!
A suggestion for a more modern first aid kit would be to carry a new tube/bottle of super glue. This is a proven wound closer, really handy!
any books with survival tips/strategies are good ones to have
i got this book on ebay but it hasnt came yet, i have a book like that already that is the ultimate survival guide, that one is pretty good.
Excellent book but you need to work at it before you need it. excellent ideals. good information.
This sounds like a great book i think i might get one.
This is a good book. Lots of detail, great for reference too. Another good book is from Les Stroud (Survivorman)ISBN-10: 0061373516. I highly recommend this book.
Sweet Book
I gotta have this book for sure.
I am familiar with this book and it a good addition to the library of anyone interested in survival.
That being said, the best survival book in the world won't help you if all you have done is look at it. Most survival skills must be practiced so when they are needed they are second nature in your response. Simple things like firestarting for example, or building a shelter from scratch, making traps for animals, knowing the theory on how to do it will be of poor use in a crisis if you haven't actually done it. In most survival scenarios, you won't have time to get your book out to see what you need to do.
I know I probably sound like a broken record, (I realize that statement alone dates me as being an old fart) but it really is important to practice these skills in a safe, non-threatening environment. Once you figure out how to do it under no stress, it is MUCH easier in a stress filled scenario.
