Grisley thoughts, but understandable.
I once had a neighbor who fell sideways from an aluminum ladder and found himslef hanging by his wedding band. Was not a pretty sight afterwards.
Thanks for the input.
BTW, can they be used more than once, or are they use once and toss type tools?

<img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />I didn't mean to ask an obvious question. I'm not overly familiar with the science behind the X-ray. I don't know what it can penetrate and what it can't. All I do know is that I have to lift my shirt when I have a x-ray <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Since X-Ray is not currently on the forums, I will go ahead and answer. Yes, they can be reused many times. Pete

Probably not a FAK item, but I have carried an extra Navy type knitted watch cap to help retain body heat. In the correct situation, it could be used as a FAK item to help someone suffering from hypothermia.
Question - Would it make sense to put a 8x8 inch (or so) piece of the mylar type emergency blanket inside the cap to help retain body heat, or would this have a negative effect on a person suffering from hypothermia?

Any thoughts?

That aluminum coating on the mylar will disrupt the mind control rays - Not a good thing to do to someone who may already be in shock. Very disorienting when you are first severed from the hive!


{quickly looks around sheepishly} OOOPSS wrong forum. Please disregard.

Also causes static on the radio signals you can pick up on your fillings.

Just received a ring cutter that I recently ordered from MEDCO.
I have never had reason to use one in the past, but it is obvious from what I have read that when you need one, YOU NEED ONE!
Good addition to the larger FAK, and no special training or license required.

Thanks.
