Re: When should you use a tourniquet?

I went on one of those 3 day first aid courses and took from it that you only use a tourniquet when: - they are bleeding so profusely that they will be dead within minutes and you applying pressure wont stop it. (basically what yorkshireandy said) As soon as a tourniquet is applied it cannot be take...

Re: Potato Help please

I hope i'm not hijacking the thread...my question is in a similar root though! I was told by the someone that I needed to deflower my potato plants so that they could focus on growing the potatoes?!? Is that even true? My grandparents never did it and I doubt farmers do...Ideally I want big potatoes...

Re: Would You Consider Joining A Prepper Inspired Community?

I’d love to be able to chat and practice with like minded people without being told I’m crazy!

Re: Would You Consider Joining A Prepper Inspired Community?

I don’t think they were suggesting a community that didn’t interact with the outside world... Also although we aren’t like the doomsday preppers (there are bits we can take from it though) the people that assess the groups often say that getting your community on board makes them more independent an...

Re: Would You Consider Joining A Prepper Inspired Community?

Gotta be honest I'm slightly surprised no one else so far seems for it? I was happy to read your post as it proves that somewhere someone out there is thinking something similar to me!
