Re: Importing medical kits and tourniquets?

Importing medical kits and tourniquets?

I want to import a few RATS tourniquets from Israel and JFAK from the USA. Are there restrictions on purchasing them from abroad as they are used by military ? Thanks

Re: What are you dehydrating?

Please tell me more? I've dehydrated bread to make great breadcrumbs, but the KVass idea intrigues me. Mind you, can it be alcoholic? I can get almost unlimited bread for dehydrating, if there is a route to alcohol :) This I've got to try ! https://brewqueen.com/how-to-make-non-alcoholic-kvass/ I f...

Practicing CAT7 tourniquet - how check legs?

I am practicing CAT7 tourniquet. It is quite ok on hands - I apply tourniquet until oximiser stops sensing pulse on my finger. However, oximiser does not fit my toe.

Re: Van Life

I am toying with this idea with a lot of exclusions: 1. Want Tesla Y because it is relatively large vehicle, has full climate control, large screen to use as secondary monitor. And I like the option to power my house from the car - I have Tesla PowerWall 2 and solar panels, I would think I wouldn’t ...

Re: Prepper -'lite' or full on survivalist

Prepper-lite based on this classification I treat this as an escapism from reality, way to analyse my inner problems. However, I should not lose connection with reality and not get carried away too far. I feel when something affects the quality of life and that of people surrounding you negatively, ...

Re: Preparing for Winter 2023/24

Not much prepping... My solar panels still generate more energy than I consume, and Tesla battery allows me to use the energy when there is no sun... Though I see that storms make me buy energy from the grid. I am still on 2021 tariff, so I know I am better off than many, especially because of the s...
