When I have needed to use an antimicrobial agent in addition to my deodorant, I use a potassium alum crystal deodorant stick. I put it on wet, let it dry then apply usual deodorant. Works pretty well!

I learned my lesson in 2008 and 2012. I may be low on reloading supplies, but Im Never low on ammo. Even during the shortage I've found all the components I need except primers and 8208xbr, which I have a sufficient amount of both to get me by

I'm the opposite. I have enough of the ammo I mainly use, which hasn't been much lately. Reloading stuff however.....

I’ve been a fan of the Olights. They are slightly pricey but very good quality with some very good features.

The main feature that I like is that they have a very small LED light the tells you the charge level while using the light. so you don’t have to worry about “are my batteries getting low”. You just turn the light on really quick. If it’s green then you are good to go. If it’s red you need to charge it.

So I’m at my volly squad (it’s going as I expected, very few calls and the ones we have had were canceled en route) and I see something out of the corner of my eye. It’s a mouse.

Do you recommend any specific Olight?

Streamlight or Surefire. ‘Merican made.

Nothing like your brand new truck with 152 miles on it having to be towed back ti dealer because it won't start.

I've been carrying the exact same Streamlight Stinger everyday since I bought it in 1998. On my 3rd battery and 2nd bulb (pre-LED version obviously).

Streamlights in all my vehicles and on my firearms. Not as bright as a Surefire, but you can't beat the price point.

Streamlight in my flight suit and one in the truck. Didn't install one (charger) in my car just because I'm looking at new ones anyway.

I put my first Olight on my SBR, I'm pretty impressed with it.

 

[NomadicMedic]

Streamlight Stinger for the last 15 years. The charger is mounted in my truck.

 

[Fezman92]

Dang these are expensive flashlights.

Just had a legit cardiac arrest save while doing hazmat training. Tones for an arrest right next to our building, at a soccer field. Ran over with an AED, CPR was going on, delivered a shock, she was talking and mostly alert by the time the fire department and medics showed up.

She had a history of Brugada syndrome and I expect she’ll wind up with a AICD.

Brugada syndrome

Now I have another medical term to add to my EMS notebook.

Of the five highest call volume days at my part time job, I’ve been on shift for three of them. This is getting less fun.

We’re running decent calls at least.

So my truck AC isn’t working, hopefully it’s going to be an easy and cheap fix.

 

[Old Tracker]

Truck AC kaput and cheap fix are incompatible ideas, these days.
