I guess the pictures don't show up on the forum. You can still view the pictures by pasting the URLs in your address bar.

Anyone willing to do this deserves my explanations.

As I stated in the other post, the first picture creates an envelope with all my health insurance, allergies,legal info saying to help me despite any laws. This was written for all EMS as well as good samaritans.

By being on top on the outside the instructions are readily seen.

The CPR instructions, which I'm still working on, are already under debate in another thread.

I included information that I can easily memorize. In fact I have just about memorized everything. However, when in a surivial situation I don't want to take the chance that I could forget. Heck, I forget my own name sometimes. <img src="images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

My second rational is this. This is information that is hard or impossible to improvise in the field. The knots aren't the most important, but if I forgot them I couldn't easily tie a few knots and figure them out.

For antibiotic dosages and uses, I may or may not be carrying any of the said antibiotics. I do keep some in my house and a small supply in my larger kits. However, there may be times when I can recon some drugs during an emergency and not know what drugs to take. For me, this could be a disaster.
Some of the problems take weeks for symptoms to appear. In which case I felt fine before I left the house. Two weeks into a hike or adventure I start feeling the symptoms. I need to know what to take.

I tried to include medications that I have taken before and have access to. I have never taken Levaquin. A previous thread recommended it. In which case I need to ask all the doctors or equivelants on this forum for advise.

Since 99% of my time is spent in some sort of civilization I think I may come across a pharmacy or two.

I put all types of water purification I might improvise. If I'm stuck in a building I might find these chemicals in strange quantities and find water conatiners in larger sizes and so forth. So I wrote all of that down.

Even though I know morse code I could possibly be in such a hurry and mess it up. I could have a broken jaw and arms and have to communicate with someone who doesn't know. Thus, I included the code.
