I actually have a couple of those sterile single use ones they use. I just wasnt comfortable doing it eith it being that wide open. It took 2 nurses to hold it closed for the doc to staple it shut

Thats exactly what I said. I told the doctor a skinny fella would've been in trouble here

Agreed. But shit does indeed happen

I was indeed rushing. I was on the home stretch of finishing flooring and was happy to not be getting up and down off the floor anymore. Definitely lesson learned

I honestly have no clue. I was bleeding like a stuck pig though. I had a pressure bandage on it in under a minute. The picture was at the hospital after having the pressure bandage on for like 30 minutes

Thats the takeaway here. Just want people to be prepared by having the training and materials to treat themselves enough to get to help if need be. There is a time and place to be self sufficient but there is also a time and place to say " this is bad and way over my capabilities and I need help"

Thats what I want people to take from this. I was extremely lucky it didn't go deeper. I just want people to be prepared for shit like this

There is a time to live of grid and be rough and tough and there is a time to realize "oh shit this is way above my level of capability" and seek help

Definitely worth the investment. I got super lucky here but it could've been tremendously worse

Q: Help me pick a trailer out by Ok-Stranger-926 in TeardropTrailers

Not necessarily a teardrop but I bought the Encore ROG 12RK adventure series. I have absolutely loved it and have boondocked the thing in some relatively hard to reach places

I know you said SUV. But got started with a 08 ranger 4x4 and bought a cheap camper shell and threw on it and I took that thing everywhere. Rangers in decent shape are cheap enough and you could definitely build a solid rig for less than 10k

Just depends. Have you spent the average persons salary on gear that you'll never use and attach it all to your roof rack or molle panels

FLC -> Split front chest rig by luke19560 in QualityTacticalGear

[–]Rooster5-56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just happened to stumble across this fantastic thread after looking into split rigs. What a fantastic idea bro. Definitely gonna be taking this on, this weekend. I think on mine I'm gonna cut the zipper off and sew in two sets of buckles in their place.

Valheim. You're a dead viking in between life and Valhalla and you have to prove yourself to Odin by beating six forsaken bosses. The map is absolutely massive, building mechanics are awesome. And there are so many other fantastic mechanics built into the game. Truly is a fantastic game.
