I was recently up there also, and the improvements are a welcome change.

Just a heads up, from what I've seen is that inside the Beltway it is not very firearm friendly, the farther you get outside the beltway, the more friendly it becomes.
Stay Safe!

I wonder how sore the guy's shoulder was at the end of it.

The quotes are for literally what is written on the new QuikClot packaging.

I keep a very basic first aid kit and a secondary "beyond first aid" kit in my zombie bag...secondary kit contains Celox granules, SAM splint, & Asherman chest seal, etc.. my main first aid kit has all the gauze, gloves, etc, so I don't go overboard buying the pre-packaged kits. Some ...

Gear Guy, that's a great site and an interesting document! I note, however, it is from the UK, and unfortunately US guidelines for emergency care do not always agree with those from other countries....which has implications again in terms of good Samaritan laws and responder jeopardy. Well, I was l...

You're going off old information. There has been a lot of recent studies about tourniquet use. They are now recommend for use for major tramua. I'd suggest reading this: http://www.remoteemergencycare.com/documents/tourniquets-gn.pdf Especially page 2, including the foot notes. The part on "Re...

I am interested in it too, but it was jrswanson1 that posted up about the Ads.

Let us know how it goes.

The two nearest areas will be C.H. Phelps, and Thompson. Both are HEAVILY used during the seasons as there is not much hunting land available in NoVa. I wish I saw this thread earlier... Anyways, I have to agree with this statement above. However, it's funny to see how many roadkills there are in t...

Hey there!
I use to live in Winchester. If you have a place to hunt, that's a great area to do it it. I've tried my hand at it a few seasons now, I'm sure if you ask around you'll find a lot of people in the area that spend their weekends hunting at watching football!

Good thing no one takes this stuff seriously.

CONEXes were not designed to be buried. They were designed to be stacked on other CONEXes. The only load bearing points on them are the four corners.
