Nup disagree, I will not use our skills or medical kit to help anyone outside my group, Period,
Lets use Highlanders and straight shooters analogy for example. Some sheeple from the village arrives with food poisoning or some ailment from drinking untreated water.
Wifey use our deoralite and saline to treat him, we send him on our way, next minute the other 300 people in the village who have drank from the same polluted water source are coming up the road demanding deorolite, activated charcoal and saline drips and you know they are not going to take no for an answer.
It is EXACTLY the same as if someone comes looking for food and you let your humanity get the better of you and you feed him and water him and he goes back to the village, next the rest of the village is coming up the hill looking for food.
Medical supplies like food are for those who provided or paid for them, nor for chancers, scroungers and sheeple.

Toput it simply if you give your services for free all the time you will starve. That benefits nobody and if it is expected then nobody will admit to or want to learn having medical expertise. Why bother. You can treat yourself and your family only.
You may treat a few people for free because it suits you but it isn't a good survival strategy for you. Like I said even NHS doctors get paid.
So you treat two or three for measles, chicken pox, E coli, Thyphus, Cholera, food poisoning, malnutrition, etc what happens when they go back and tell the rest of the sheeple that them there preppers have got food, water and medical supplies.
Lose the socialist tendencies guys cos if you carry them on after TSHTF you wont survive the first wave of hungry sheeple.

Triage or supplies wont be the issue though, it will be when the guy you healed , treated fed and watered goes back to his base / village/ refugee camp/ armed gang etc and tells them " Hey that Lass up there has loads of food, water, mediical supplies, clean clothes, power etc !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
