.:-- 5th Annual KY/TN March 2017 Land Between the Lakes Meet--:.

Want to grab a first aide kit.... Or just out one together? I am wondering if I could get the essentials cheaper than buying a kit?thinking just use an old tackle box?

 

Build your own. Usually ends up cheaper and you know what it's in it. Also won't have a bunch of shit in there you won't ever need/use that way.

 

That's what's I was thinking. Walmart it is... Even though I fucking hate that place

 

Remember, splints can be made almost out of anything like shoe laces and sticks, shirts and boards...so you don't need to buy one in itself. Tourniquets are the same way too.

Boy Scouts FTW!

 

My schedule isn't going to be very helpful.....Either arriving LATE Friday evening, or early Saturday morning. May be back on the road late in the day Saturday. Work sux.

 

Bummer dude

 

Tell me about it...My boss HAS to be related to my first wife. She had a problem with people who had smiles on their face. So does asshat.

This time last year I was wondering if I'd EVER get to go wheelin' again. By June I knew things would be OK. By fall, I was starting to get geared up for LBL. No one wants to go there more than me. I started prepping the truck around Christmas. Most of what I've done to the truck recently was targeting this event. I mentioned the need to have a week of vacation to my boss a few weeks ago. Mistake. He had enough time to screw up my plans.

 

Any advice on getting the center pin to line up with the top 3 leafs? I am installing my AAL and it is being a pain in the ass

 

Did you put a c clamp on them before unbolting?

 

Yes.

Yes.

Yes, just wasn't sure if you could hold everyone off until Saturday evening for duck fajitas.

From behind?

Build your own. If you want to look at mine when I'm up there Saturday, just let me know. I have a bunch of crap that most people won't ever use, but I also teach wilderness first responder classes and graduate from nursing school in May.

Precisely.

Amazon.

Sam splints are cheap and way easier, plus you can make a C-collar out of them as well. You've obviously never tried actually occluding a vessel with an improvised tourniquet. They are also cheap and actually work. Just remember if you get a TQ, don't practice with it. Buy a separate one to practice with.

Loosen the leaves all the way up, and stick a #2 Phillips screwdriver through the hole and keep them aligned as you tighten. Drink a beer. Once all the way tight pull the screwdriver out and put the center pin in. Drink a beer. Torque it down, cut it off, and thank me. You did a good job, treat yourself to a beer after.

 

I sometimes even have an answer for nothing.

 

Any luck? I don't recall it really being that difficult. All the leafs should slide back and forth, and line them all up 1 by 1

 

@Robertocritser supposed to dump snow here Saturday, you guys still want to come out? All I really need to do before LBL is install a CB, repair/replace some lights, 12v power anytime mod, shim my front bumper for better clearance, pack zombie camp/dry food and prep boxes and find some damn place to fill my CO2 can. Still welcome to come play and stay if you want

..and oil change, light JUST came on lol

 

I got it to line up finally, I used the C clamp but this the bolt was a little off I hit the bolt with a pry bar and knocked it in hole for this much work I wish I would of dropped the money for new spring pack

 

I want to choke this dingle berry for you, Bill!

 

I've never had to use a tourniquet in a truly emergent scenario. Hope to never have to. My point is that I can take out a shoe lace and an ink pen, pencil, or stick and make one in a pinch. Something is better than nothing.

 

guess I wanst invited, fuck each and every one of you

 

I don't believe that. Weather forecasters are like politicians, they get paid to lie to your face.

 

I may be up for that. Depends on Katie if she wants to get out of the house. How long is the drive?
