It's also worth noting that there are countless "messenger" bags that fit the paper atlases for $5 or so at Goodwill. My "trip planning bag" is just such a marketing item my wife had lying around the house. Fits my DeLorme & Benchmark Atlases, Roadside Geology Books, etc. plus pen and other...
I did Sections 2 & 3 repeatedly last summer. The only area of concern that I would note was the Beehive Washouts kind of mid section 3. We were there at dusk on a semi-muddy September day so I imagine it is better when dry. I have some vids on YouTube (RainGoat Pathfinder) but the quality is...
Thanks for the referral. I've run 3 multiple times and half of 2 a couple times but still, it's always a nice relaxing lunch vid - didn't know Expedition Overland had done it
@El Solis, I was wondering if you could address your recommendations between two tourniquets in your recommended kit:
COMBAT APPLICATION TOURNIQUET (C-A-T Gen7)(CAT TQ) &
SOF TACTICAL TOURNIQUET WIDE (SOFT-TW TQ)?
I heard your recommendation for CAT TQ Gen 7 over the RATs secondary to...
Looking forward to it! You're OB input really spurred me to readdress my FAKs as I haven't really addressed them post kids. You're compartmentalization scheme - while ridiculously simple, is something I just never thought about. A great idea! Keep up the great work. I really think it is a...
Great Video!! I really appreciate the emphasis on the basics. Gloves & bandages - you really can't have too many. I find people get caught up on treatment rather than stabilization and transport. I like how your videos have taken a "how will this effect your management" approach and eliminated...
As a medical professional I would say your approach is totally appropriate. I think the most difficult thing to adequately express to the general public is that the goal is really to stabilize and transport, not treat and cure. If you watch Dr. Solis' trauma video you will note his is a...
Dr. Solis' recommendations are excellent and practical. Most FAKs attempt to dazzle with gadgets and what amounts to essentially pointless variety. His recommendations are practical, purposeful and guided by real world usage and ability to effect outcome. I strongly recommend his Trauma Kit...
While entertaining, having your blood type available will ultimately serve little real world purpose. O Neg blood (universal donor) is kept on hand for emergent hemorrhage events and no U.S. or Canadian institution is going to transfuse you with anything other than that without performing a type...
I think the beauty of recovery boards is they’re $60. I’ve wanted lockers for 30 years but at about $1,000 that’s a whole different ballgame. I’d put tires & X-Bulls as the 2 first things to get. Even a lift is a luxury that you might not need with good line selection. These recovery boards are...
Compare them with Orangeboxx. I like the later more because it has the MOLLE grid more fully distributed, it doesn’t gave the bend & it’s easier to get your hand behind it to attach things & clean the window. We just did the driver side since it is pretty easy in that truck for the driver to...
I love that area - the Karst topography is outstanding - but I haven’t been in decades. I remember the Buffalo River & Bull Shoals as being nice. Please post your finds (or I’d appreciate a DM) as my Mom is in KC & usually drives out to CO, UT or even here. I know there must be some good...
