    the 100% directionless thread

    Note to self: when fishing in Florida Everglades, don't forget the sunscreen and a chair. Lol Other than that, 90 minutes of fishing without a single catch still beat working 10 hours.

    Nothing quite like grilling some pork tenderloins in Florida.

    Ageed. Does make me curious as to why California thinks they have jurisdiction on federal property, though.

    should a 50 year old go to EMT school?

    If you can perform the physical aspects of the job, there is no reason you couldn't become an EMT. Your life experiences may even help you when dealing with patients and situations, since by now I'm sure you've learned to temper any gung-ho attitudes you may have had. Unfortunately, EMT jobs...

    Was really disappointed when MLB cut back on the number of minor league teams each franchise had. A lot of small town America lost access to watching the American Game in person.

    Just ripped the entire Longmire series from DVD and have been binge watching it since then. Pretty impressed with most of the casting choices

    COVID VACCINE - The Megathread

    https://arstechnica.com/health/2023/05/covid-outbreak-at-cdc-gathering-infects-181-disease-detectives/ Interesting that nearly all of them were vaccinated, yet they still tested positive for COVID. Does this indicate the vaccines were less effective then we initially believed, or something else?

    Anyone have any experience with the Ronco Pocket Fisherman? Bought one to throw in my hiking/camping/96 hour kit since it folds down so small. It seems to be less chincy than the telescoping ball point pen typed, and smaller than my telescoping pole.

    Tempus Pro — any experience?

    The more technology improves things, the more it seems like we're going backwards. Lol

    Good Glucometer for jump bag

    That's the type of info that will lead to you being called a whacker by those around you. If you go entirely by Amazon reviews, everyone needs to be carrying a Spec Ops, high speed low drag, blow out kit and a tactical Molle 3 day assault pack in multicam to be good.

    Small battery backups

    Depends on how the power is routed to those items. If it comes straight from an always on power source than this wouldn't be necessary.

    If a person is in hypovolemic shock, what are the appropriate measures?

    It's for that, but like I referenced, you don't have the foundational knowledge yet to understand and speak the same language, so to speak. In most areas, EMT's don't do IV saline since starting IV's is generally considered a more advanced skill, so what is your treatment going to be and juat...

    How do EMTs deal with suicidal adolescents?

    I wouldn't want to be the one paying the agency insurance bills.

    How do I get over my emetophobia?

    Especially when you learn to point their head the other way. Don't ask how I know.

    If a person is in hypovolemic shock, what are the appropriate measures?

    While I applaud your desire to learn about something that interests you, quite honestly, at this point you don't even know enough to know what you don't know. You've already been given some great advice on other threads, and I want to offer a few more tidbits. What you do with it is your...

    We usually treated it with high flow diesel.
