[Grumpy Grandpa]

Well RS, the value of vids like these isn't in question but maybe the wisdom of posting so many together is...

For me, I've tagged the e-mail telling me about it with the colour code I use for Medical (in MS Outlook,) so it's in a different section of my Inbox and I'll refer back to it as often as I need to to get through them all. For many though, it does occur to me that they may not get much more than half way down your post before they glaze over, looking at little more than one or two.

I hope I'm wrong...

[bigpaul]

I've gone more for the first aid angle, broken bones and wounds and stuff like that, which I think will be the majority of the accidents that occur post shtf, i'm not really going to concern myself with any of the more advanced surgery techniques as for my set up that would be OTT...but that's just my personal opinion.
