If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”
- Winston Churchill

Books for BOB?

What books do have in your BOBs.Obviously with even paperbacks being heavy are there any you wouldn't leave without.I recently picked up the weed cookbook and edible wild plants of eastern and central America.Both are very good. The weed cookbook was expensive.Either would be worth carrying.So far I have one wild plant book and improvised munitions manual in mine.Most medical types to heavy to carry.

Are you packing or caching books or manuals? I am an info freak.And in my 48th year I find my memory ain't what it used to be.I had a great time in 80s might of lost some brain cells.

Medical or trauma wound care is such a large subject I wonder if there is something small and light enough to carry?

I am sure I am overlooking something! Thoughts/Advice welcomed! You military or ex types,knowing you would have no resupply what would you be packing besides hardware?

I know R3V and ThreePercent4freedom recommend top notch trauma kits not the drug store bandaid type 1st aid kit.

Trying to get back on track here!Many feel the shit is about to get deep! I have seen videos of quick clot it seems to be a good product to have in kit.Anyone have real world experience with it.I think early products like this were rather dangerous.

If anyone has a subject they feel needs covered bring it up!

    I keep a book on fauna and flora for the entire U.S. , that is a must have as well as 68W Advanced Field Craft: Combat Medic Skills.

    Anything else is too cumbersome and will have to be left behind . I am sure there will be books I miss having down the line but, in a BOB scenario , I need to travel light and quiet, I am a Sniper ya know .

    I am familiar with a lot of things that are in some of the books I would like to have so , I suggest practicing what you read and after doing it several times you seldom forget how . Eating the wrong weed and field surgery are two things ya do not want to phuk up , if ya know what I mean .

    Anyways , great post , get some people thinking . Good deal China ! Get to work folks , time is short, get the practice in now or you WILL regret it later . The more we do for ourselves now , the better off we will all be when it counts.

    Quickclot has a tendency to burn the skin as it heats up on contact with fluids (older variety mainly). I recommend CELOX rather then qucikclot. CELOX is more efficient and does not burn or heat up when applied . It will even stop arterial bleeding.

    I recommend the 10 pack of 2gram packets as each small packet can save a life and more can be used if needed . AMAZON has it here --->
    http://www.amazon.com/CELOX-Temporary-Traumatic-Treatment-10-Pack/dp/B0032UY9BQ/ref=sr_1_3?s=gateway&ie=UTF8&qid=1285600821&sr=8-3

    For around $30.00 . I would also recommend SAM splints

    http://www.amazon.com/SAM-Combo-SPECIAL-Cohesive-Essentials/dp/B002PETCUI/ref=sr_1_3?s=gateway&ie=UTF8&qid=1285600938&sr=8-3

    SAM splints provide a much needed first aid function and do not take up much space. The link I provided has the large splints with cohesive wrap included . GOGGLE SAM SPLINTS to find the actual site and a slightly better price.

    Good luck man !!!

    OK , Here we go folks .

    COICA

    In the United States, a new law proposal called The "Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act" (COICA) was introduced last week, and there will be a hearing in front of the Judiciary Committee this Thursday.

    If passed, this law will allow the government, under the command of the media companies, to censor the internet as they see fit, like China and Iran do, with the difference that the sites they decide to censor will be completely removed form the internet and not just in the US.


    Here's the story @ huffington post :

    John McCain has begun this next atrocity against a free people. This is called The "Enemy Belligerent Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act of 2010"

    Read what they are considering to be "enemy belligerent" , pretty scary . We should have learned from history and taken a page from the book of the German Jew .

    READ IT CHINA !!!
