Surgical sewing?

[Grumpy Grandpa]

Might well do GG, although i'm trying to keep my prepper habits out of my main life. Is a bent needle and fishing line good enough as a subsitute? If so it's looking like my best option.

Don't know to be honest - never stitched anybody up (at least, not in that way!! ) It's something I've seen done quite a few times but never tried my hand.

I don't see why not though - a bit like sewing a tear in a shirt - with the need for ultra-cleanliness (and a bit more tidiness ). As I said, with SD, I would do it if I felt I had to, experience or no, because I refuse to just let a loved one die without trying.

Watch this space though. Sooner or later, 'Jonas' or someone who does have the right experience will pick up on the thread and put us right...

I think there's more difficulty involved where a wound is a deep one. In such cases, there may be more to stitch than just surface tissue and there, I haven't got a clue...
