So I added two of these mylar blankets between two fleece blankets like [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Cozy-Fleece-Blanket-Assorted-Throw/dp/B004FOA89U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1346954093&sr=8-1&keywords=fleece+throw), though cheaper since I bought them at Ikea.

I did a regular straight stitch on the four corners to attach the mylar blanket to the fleece. Then I used a sewing machine to sew blanket stitch style pattern on the edges (hopefully you know someone who is handy with a machine or needle). I then made a small knot on the top two corners of the blanket and tie these off to the ridgeline of my hammock and that keeps the blanket secure and not moving all night.

These should work well. And there should be plenty for a second bucket. If you have a well stocked first aid kit you might have one of these in there.

If you can handle the noise (which you can reduce by sandwiching it between two sheets), space blankets are preposterously warm.

No, seriously, I'm not fucking with you. They are hot. You will not be cold if you have one of those on your bed. You don't need an electric blanket, these are warmer than that.

Have you seen, "Naked ane Afraid" its a crappy show, but the one thing that is the same in each show is that the people that can make a fire and boil water on the first day do just fine. Everyone else cries and bitches, and doesn't do much of anything, some even "die".

Half the men bring a blade of some sort, and in the 4 episodes I watched, one group never used the blade, and it took them 3 days to start a fire, cause all they had was a pot and a knife.

Here is what I would have before anything else:

1 - a canteen that has a cook able cup attached. (not endorsing bear grylls, just the first one Google gave)

2 - fire starting tool, Firesteel I love this product.

3 - Mylar Blankets so cheap and work so good.


With this you are set for 3 weeks, everything else you are even thinking of putting in your pack had better be eatable, if it's not it's just slowing you down.

Edit: if you have time to sit and fish you are not bugging out you are camping.

u/VenusenvyXP · 2 pointsr/Winnipeg

It's not a kit, but something I made. These lights in a crappy light greenhouse like this wrapped in mylar sheets and the seed level has this heating mat.

Mylar blankets

They're small, reflective blankets that will fit easily in your glove box. If you live anywhere that it might ever snow, you should get one. It's much easier to cart around than a full size blanket, and will probably do a better job of keeping you warm.

  • Share utilities with roomates on a pro-rata basis if you aren't already
  • Grab these and put them on your windows when you are out during the summer. Reduces your AC bill.

    That's all I really got. Correct me if i'm wrong but from what I gather you are not an "official" landlord but are just renting out the rooms that you have. Nothing wrong with that but you are missing out on some tax benefits.

    If all else fails it seems that according to my calculations you are effectively paying around $1000/year net to live in a house. That is honestly not that bad. You and your SO could use your salary from your current job to put a downpayment on another apartment complex and kick your roomates out to there. You have the added plus of utilizing those tax benefits in this scenario.

Things I haven't seen mentioned....

A 12 Volt compressor (plugs in cig outlet, fills tires with air) small, not too expensive, handy as fuck. (Bonus, they fill bike tires, air mattresses, footballs/volley balls/soccer balls etc.)

"Baby wipes"... great for cleaning. Like your hands after changing a tire for example. (I steal those little packet hand wipes from restaurants and keep them in my glove box.)

Paper towels.

"Spare" cellphone/USB charger and cable.

Small-ish umbrella and cheapo poncho.

Emergency ("space") Blanket. link I live in Florida and I carry 2 of these.

A decent (i.e. not expensive, but serviceable) first aide kit. Keep in mind high and low temps destroy band-aids and medical tape over time, rotate and restock regularly. You don't have to buy a "kit", just build your own. Google that shit!

A can of "fix-a-flat".

Duct Tape and electrical tape.

A good multi-tool. Leatherman, or Gerber. Don't skimp on money here. Buy a decent one.

Rope or paracord. A "decent" length.

And personally, I keep (in a small plastic tote, sealed up) a tee-shirt, pair of socks, and an old wind-breaker type jacket.

Edit to add :

I carry everywhere I go (in my pockets) a decent quality pocket knife, a small "cigarette" lighter (mini Bic) and a 1 AAA flashlight.

If you don't carry this stuff, you should have it in your car (with spare batteries for the light...).

Equipment:
Nikon D7100 w/ 70-300 VR (@300mm & f/5.6)
External Intervalometer
Manfrotto 190XB with an off brand ball head
Solar Filter (made from two sheets of mylar emergency blanket (as such) and the lid from a peanut butter jar, which was painted matte black using leftover chalkboard paint (left because of this wonderful project)

Acquisition:
I captured images at 1/80th of a second approximately every ten minutes (more in some places) starting at 1:17PM (EST) and ending at 2:35PM. I took lots of images (5+) at a time and picked the "best" ones that were suffering from the least atmospheric distortion.

Processing:
I processed (using a preset on the first image and applying it to the rest) in Lightroom. I had some difficulty with the last three images in the series, as they were significantly darker, so I had to lighten them in post to compensate. I have no idea what made them darker. Processing was pretty simple, with some changes to darkness (to get rid of the haze from the filter), saturation, white balance, and highlights, as well as my typical sharpening routine. Cropped images were then exported and composited in GIMP. Getting these lined up (both on the composite, and in orientation) was by far the most difficult part of this, as I didn't bother keeping the orientation of my camera stable while I was imaging, so it had to be done manually after the fact.

Overall, I'd say I'm rather pleased with how this came out, the weather was really nice, and the homebrew filter worked better than it had any right too (although I wouldn't recommend it over spending a couple bucks on some solar film). I think in the future (probably specifically 2024) I would be a bit more careful with timing and orientation to give a slightly more consistent result.

In a mass casualty situation, I would completely ignore anyone that needed CPR and focus on the bleeders. The time you spend giving one person CPR could be used stabilizing a dozen people who are bleeding.

For extremities, the most useful thing is a tourniquet. I prefer one with a windlass like a [CAT] (https://www.amazon.com/C--Combat-Application-Tourniquet-GENERATION/dp/B018R73OWI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468623443&sr=8-1&keywords=gen+7+cat+tourniquet) or [SOFTT] (https://www.amazon.com/Tac-Med-Solutions-SOFTT-W-Tourniquet/dp/B00E3W3BK2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1468623620&sr=8-2&keywords=sof-t) over a [TK4] (https://www.amazon.com/H-Associates-TK4-Tourniquet/dp/B003YHGKF0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468623679&sr=8-1&keywords=tk4+tourniquet) or [SWAT] (https://www.amazon.com/SWAT-T-Tourniquet-Black-1-Count/dp/B003IWNOVO/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1468623735&sr=8-2&keywords=swat+tourniquet).

For injuries to the abdomen, armpit, crotch, or neck; you will want a homeostatic agent. [Combat Gauze] (https://www.amazon.com/QuickClot-Combat-Gauze-Z-Fold/dp/B001E1CLTC/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1468623859&sr=8-1&keywords=combat+gauze) is the way to go here, it is much better than powdered QuickClot.

For penetrating chest trauma (also called 'sucking chest wounds'), you need a large, occlusive bandage on both the entry and exit. In clinical testing of chest seals, the [Halo] (https://www.amazon.com/Progressive-Medical-Performance-Occlusive-Dressing/dp/B003VSORKC/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1468624256&sr=8-3&keywords=chest+seal) and [Hyfin] (https://www.amazon.com/North-American-Rescue-Hyfin-Chest/dp/B00KQS2NGK/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1468624483&sr=8-1&keywords=hyfin) drastically outperformed the [Asherman] (https://www.amazon.com/Rusch-Inc-849100-Asherman-Chest/dp/B0015TE9N4/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1468624546&sr=8-2&keywords=asherman+chest+seal).

I also personally have a [decompression needle] (http://www.rescue-essentials.com/h-h-needle-decompression-kit-tpak/) to treat tension pneumothorax, but I advise you not to get it unless you have specific training on it.

For general bleeding the [Israeli bandage] (https://www.amazon.com/Israeli-Bandage-Shipped-Israel-Inches/dp/B00JKMPJBY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1468625201&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=israeli+bandage&psc=1) is way better than other bandages.

You will also want an [NPA] (https://www.amazon.com/Nasopharyngeal-Airway-Fr-9-3mm-Surgilube/dp/B003950R2E/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1468625347&sr=8-1&keywords=nasal+pharyngeal+airway) to help keep an open airway.

Edit, I forgot that you are also going to want a good pair of [trauma shears] (https://www.amazon.com/Madison-Supply-Premium-Fluoride-Scissors/dp/B00YFG1U86/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468625730&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=trauma+shears&psc=1).

Some other things to consider are rubber gloves, [Kerlix] (https://www.amazon.com/Original-Kerlix-Sterile-Bandage-Rolls/dp/B00UAULWR0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468626013&sr=8-1&keywords=kerlix), [cravats] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HBG726G/ref=ox_sc_mini_detail?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AR9BYY7RS0Q08), [medical tape] (https://www.amazon.com/Durapore-Medical-Tape-Silk-yards/dp/B000C4O7GC/ref=sr_1_2_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1468626363&sr=1-2&keywords=medical+tape), a [SAM splint] (https://www.amazon.com/SAM-Rolled-Splint-Orange-Blue/dp/B001J5H92C/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1468626238&sr=1-1&keywords=sam+splint), and a [space blanket] (https://www.amazon.com/Emergency-Mylar-Blankets-84-52/dp/B004356WLY/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1468626282&sr=1-1&keywords=space+blanket).
