FAQ Content

Having the gear is not enough, you also need the practice & skill to know how to use it well. It was worth it to practice these things (except the fire extinguisher.) It’s important to study how to use our gear as well as have it. BTW I’m an airport screener speaking loudly & slowly to confused passengers all day so please forgive the way I talk.

Shelter or warmth
 Reflective “aluminized” (Mylar coated) space blanket or survival blanket to retain body heat (and signal)
 Lightweight poncho for protection against wind and rain
 “Tube tent” or bivvy bag
 Tarp with grommets or tie-tapes (best if nylon or polyester)
 Large plastic trash bag as poncho or expedient shelter roof
 Ferrocerium rod (AKA “Metal match”, “Hot Spark”, “Firesteel”, “Magnesium fire starter”) and fire striker for fire-starting, Fire piston or Solar Spark Lighter
 Waterproof matches or cigarette lighter
 Cotton balls or pads smeared with petroleum jelly for fire starting (can be carried in 35 mm container or heat-sealed inside large diameter plastic straw)
 Catalytic heater and bottled gas fuel
Health and first aid
First aid kit with:
 Bandages
 Band-aids
 Sterile combine dressing, and gauze pads
 Adhesive tape, and gauze tape
 Medical tweezers
 Surgical razor or scalpel
 Disinfectant pads
 Latex gloves (rubber if allergic to latex, to protect first aider against infection)
 A 30 day supply of personal prescription medication
 Antibiotic cream
 Epinephrine and antihistamines for allergic reactions, primarily to insect stings
 Rubbing alcohol
 Suture kit or sterile disposable surgical stapler
 Oxytetracycline tablets (for diarrhea or infection)
 Aspirin
 Extra pair of prescription eyeglasses or contacts
 Salt is an essential mineral for health. Salt containing potassium chloride, sold widely as low sodium salt, can be used to prevent dehydration from diarrhea and can save most cholera deaths. (See Oral rehydration therapy)
 Multivitamin and mineral supplements. Zinc supplements are useful in treating diarrheal intestinal tract infections, especially in children.
 Sunscreen (where appropriate, above 30 SPF)
 100% UV protective sunglasses (“UV 400″) (protects eyes from harmful UV radiation. Polarized glasses are not necessarily UV protective, but aid with glare only)
Food and water
 Water in sealed containers for dry areas, or water purification tablets or household
 Heavy duty aluminum foil to create a distillation tube to remove salt from salt water during boiling/condensation. Must have another receptacle to collect condensate.
 Canned food, Ready-to-eat meals (MRE), or high-energy foods such as chocolate or emergency food bars.
 Fishing line and gear (fish hooks, lures, and split shot leads)
 Snare wire
 Gillnetting (for emergency fishing)

Signaling, navigation and reference
Since the primary goal of a survival kit for lost or injured persons is rescue, this part of the kit is the most essential.
 Whistle.
 Signal mirror.
 High power LED light (able to have batteries replaced, and carry an extra battery), white lens, with signaling capabilities. Strobe versions are available for some lights. Use lithium cells only, due to superior shelf life.
 Flare: three fires in a triangle is the international distress signal
 Laser pointer with lithium batteries, for superior signaling range. Laser pointers have resulted in at least one rescue: during the night in August 2010 two men and a boy were rescued from marshland after their red laser pen was spotted by rescue teams.[2]
 Surveyor’s tape – orange or chartreuse for marking location for rescuers
 Pen/pencil and paper for leaving notes to rescuers about direction of travel
 Compass or analog watch – See direction finding using a watch
 Trail maps/charts (if location is known in advance)
 Survival manual for technique reference
Multipurpose tools or materials
 Fixed-blade knife, or multitool such as a Swiss Army knife.
 Can opener
 Heavy-duty needle and thread for repairing clothing and equipment
 Red or orange plastic bag(s) or trash bags
 Sturdy cord or “550″ parachute cord for setting up a tarpaulinand snaring small animals
 Hatchet with sheath for cold conditions, or machete for tropical conditions (shelter and fire)
 Camp stove or some type of gas burner and fuel such as bottled propane or Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)
 Candles for light, signaling, firestarting
 Metal billycan or “water bottle” for water storage, boiling, purification, cooking
 Compact saw such as Japanese style backsaw with coarse teeth (folding models available). Bow saws can quickly cut larger diameter limbs and small trees
 Solar charger
Folding saw – a very versatile tool is the folding saw for cutting wood for the purposes of building, fire, walking aids, splints etc.

Stockings may increase circulation problems if not worn properly.
Diabetic patients are at particular risk of ischemia from improperly worn stockings.

1.)What I want you to understand is that you are wearing compression stockings for a serious purpose-you have vascular insufficiency.

2.) If you are diabetic you are especially prone to vascular complications

3.) Everything can be made better if you allow your stocking to properly do it’s job.

Let me preface by saying that I already assume you have been prescribed the correct compression rating. That is also important.

There are two basic types of full length compression stkgs. 1) Panty hose, 2) Thigh high
They each have their place.
There are many brands and different qualities of stockings. They fall into two broad categories:
1) those for post op recovery 1-3months maximum.- the less expensive stockings
2) Those for long term use. Most expensive, e.g. Sigvaris 500 rubber series. I use the 503T series with no silicone beads and open toe. I order the shorter of the two sizes listed for my leg size. Over time they will stretch up to 6″. These stocking run about $120 from Ames dot com. up to $160 or more from ‘other’ companies.
My medicare reimburses me about $31 on each pair.

Known as the “Gold” standard in the industry, Sigvaris stockings are built tough. And the best thing is that if you are wearing them with shorts for jogging nobody will mistake you for something else. One look and passerby’s will be saying “he probably was injured in the military” and they may salute you.
Others will think you are a “medical problem” and they will feel deep sympathy for you. Wear them with honor.

For women with sensitive skin the garter belt method may be best.
For men use the glue method. Glue will keep the stocking in place all day and accommodate constant movements without failing.

The glue is a naturally derived compound. Some people may be allergic to it so test it twice before you decide. A standard 2oz bottle will last about 1-2 months. I pay under $6 per bottle by the dozen.

ADVANTAGES: Easy to apply/water washable/Effective

DISADVANTAGES: The glue may damage lower quality stockings/ possible skin irritation

If you wear stockings properly you will get a noticeable improvement in your circulation.
