Excellent advice. I re-certify every 2 years just to stay up to date. But I also study off grid medical books to glean any information that I think will be useful. Having a trauma kit and fully stocked first aid kit is imperative. I try to be as prepared as I can be with the hope of never...

A rear ladder to reach into my rack. I’m short. Now I want to upgrade my shocks and suspension and new tires.

Excellent advice!
