👆👆Support local farm shops and your local farmer. Don't buy poison shite ...the govt will realise that the people say NO. Eating or drinking contaminants is NOT self sufficiency....throw it away...buy healthy, buy natural food and drink.

Todays lesson is about:

MEDICAL

Before you do ANYTHING, get your prescription meds on the table and make a note of them:

-what they are

-what they do

-how many days supply do you have

Then you need to ask yourself:

-over and above this on the table, how much do i need to plan for? How many days/weeks/months can i realistically get

-what is the effect on me when they run out? Life threatening or can i use something else, maybe natural? If so, start to switch over now so you can monitor effects and sources. Is there an alternative in the wild that i can utilise. Will need different plants maybe for different seasons.

-can i change the meds i need by changing my lifestyle/diet eg going to keto/ IF/ Carnivore, cutting out chocolate or peanuts or dairy etc

-Bearing in mind storage conditions (cool/dark/dry place) what is realistic for me to carry? Eg in a small cooler box/ bag

-if i simply Bug out, where is my next resupply point? Do i need to stockpile these prescription meds there?

NEXT TO CHECK

most people usually have some sort of first aid kit in the home

-tourniquet

-medical scissors

-tweezers

-band aids ( the "H" type is very useful to stick around awkward areas), waterproof and strip

- bandages, 2" and 4 " plus bandage clips/ safety pin

- 4" gauzes

-betadine/ iodine disinfectant liquid/ cream

-headache tabs, what ever works for you

-something for nausea/ vomiting ( not sure what is available by you)

-something for diarrhea

-something for constipation

-extra water purification tabs seperate to your drinking. You may need a constant supply of dìsinfected water to wash and clean wounds etc

-diclofenac anti inflammetories

-some serious pain tabs like myprodol/ Tramazac etc

-Silbercor silver cream for burns plus burn shield dressings

-Potassium permanganate

-sugar (mix with iodine to make "sugardine" to poultice wounds)

-salt tabs for exhaustion/ cramps

-electrolytes

-eno sachet / anti acid tabs.

-caffiene tabs for if you really need to pull some hectic hours getting away

-antibiotics. Get a natural antibiotic as well as something like TERRAMYCINE and /or DOXYCYCLINE broad spectrum. Check you are not allergic.

-antihistamine tabs. Get non drowsey.

-Tampax and Tampons. One used as a pressure bandage on the outside, the other to plug holes if needed.

NOTES

-Do a first aid course if you can

-this list above can be used by anyone with zero skill as thats what is needed and used in everyday life.

-as you train and get more competent, you can flesh it out and carry whatever you deem to be necessary.

-dont panic. The Medical is very important and is probably the most important aspect of your life survival, unless you have EXTENSIVE bushcraft and natural plant medical knowledge and experience, you will have to unfortunately rely on big pharma.

-bear in mind, plants in the wild take longer to act and heal and you may need to deal with something immediately.

-make the time and learn good medical practice and knowledge, particularly if you have a medical condition.

-train and share the knowledge with your spouse or kids, it may be YOU that gets into trouble and you will need to rely on THEM fof your treatment ie concussion, gunshot wound, gored or mauled by an animal, axe accident and you bleeding out. They need you, dont let them watch you die because they dont know....
