Everyone celebrates and honors our fallen U.S. military men and women in different ways. Some eat BBQ and drink beer... some go camping in midwest rain storms. Our Zombie movie expert, Ashnack, reviews some rather awful zombie horror films. This is the service he provides.

| IFAK Essentials Series: Asherman Chest Seal |
| 2008-04-05 12:06:39 |
For this session of my IFAK Essentials Series, I’d like to touch on the Asherman Chest Seal (ACS). Every serious trauma bag should include an ACS, and IMO, every bug out First Aid Kit (FAK) should include at least one instance of the same. The Asherman Chest Seal is a mainstay of the [...]...

| For Those Who Clean Your Soda Can |
| 2008-04-05 12:05:52 |
I would like to talk to you today about something that is less conservation oriented, but none the less relevant PAW information. You may have receive an e-mail or been told by a friend warning you about cleaning the top of your soda can because contamination from rat or mouse urine could kill you. Well like most e-mails, rumors, or wives tales only a grain of truth resides in it. While hygienically good, it is mostly false. The widely circulated story is apparently designed to warn everyone to clean the outside of a can before drinking....

Catfish(usually the males) will guard their nests from predators and fan the eggs laid in cavities to keep them oxygenated and free of sediment. White Bass, Paddlefish, Walleye, and Suckers spawn in open water, usually where a riffle of moving water takes care of the sediment from settle on their eggs....

| 2008-02-24 13:20:29 |
7 ZS members went camping up in the Adirondack Park in Upstate NY over the weekend of February 15-17, 2008. We had a great time and, I like to think, learned a lot about winter camping.
We camped on the shore of beautiful Polliwog Pond, at a big campsite that was buried under 1-2 feet [...]...

| Stalking, Sneaking, and/or Standing. The Finer Points of Hunting. |
| 2008-02-24 11:37:12 |
Today we're going to talk about Stalking, Sneaking, and/or Standing. Deer hunters take one of two (or three depening on how you look at it) general approaches to harvesting their game. They either wait in one spot for deer to come to them, or they move around, hoping to scare up deer, sneak up on deer, or intercept deer that are themselves moving.
The first is called stand-hunting; the second, still-hunting. Which is better? Well, as any grizzled, deer-hunting philosopher would tell you, “It depends.â€Â...

Here is another idea for reducing your pack load during winter. Just put the pack in a Pulk sled.

| Your IFAK and You: Kerlix: The What, How and Why You Need it. |
| 2007-08-06 10:16:22 |
Kerlix is a medic’s nectar and ambrosia. Without a decent supply of kerlix in your IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit), your IFAK simply isn’t worth a damn. Fancy dressings and bandages will only carry you so far.
I’ve said the above above before, but now it’s high time I told you why you need [...]...

They give your [...]...
