There are some really great and inventive ideas out there. Depends on your budget and how it fits into your post SHTF movement plan.
Some of those linked by Yorkshire Andy are good.

Re: Home made anesthetic?
OK i've chickened out of testing chloroform..... Still gonna give it a go though.
Another useful thought would be the use of snow and ice in a controlled manner to completely numb the area of interest. Hypothermia and frost burn may be a big risk though.

Re: Home made anesthetic
Mother in law could be a good idea.
I have extensive medical training....

Been thinking about how to deal with trauma and pain during a SHTF scenario. It might seem pretty grim but come the crunch what would you do if you had to deal with re-straightening a fracture, un-avoidable amputation, corterising wounds? Whiskey? Bit of a waste and may further complicate any condit...

Every week though i use a normal tap supply, this just gives me peace of mind that the bleach method works. When ...

Re: long term prepping

Its very interesting to see the BBC team that did Victorian Pharmacy / Edwardian Farm / Wartime Farm etc The skills used in their programmes are what we must learn, but these are fading. I think the ...

Re: How many candles? testing 1-2-3
To see me through an initial crisis i have around 200 candles, couple of hundred batteries for led head torches and some oil lamps. But when these are gone they are gone.... How many of us know how to make candles from scratch using basic tools? If anyone has found any tutorials that make sense or a...
