    Seeking advice for pharmaceuticals in off-grid/wilderness med kit

    1) Please do not feel excluded by the armorpl8chikn filter. He just wanted to blow out some of the chaff, not knowing how much wheat SH has to offer. I remember you making well informed comments/suggestions on other medical threads. 2) I am not going to mess with Sched II stuff since I am...

    Seeking advice for pharmaceuticals in off-grid/wilderness med kit

    No worries. I am ultra-conservative with pharmaceuticals, ironically as a result of being borne by a Pharm D. We used to joke that you had to show up with your head under your arm to get meds from our mom. Dodging the bullet of Thalidomide was probably a big reason for her to be so tight-fisted...

    Driving to Alaska repeat.

    I just called the RCMP department responsible for the ATT and left message asking how US residents can legally transport a handgun like 10mm semiautomatic or 44mag revolver through CAN for wilderness hiking, etc. (Note that self defense against humanoids is not an acceptable reason for being...

    Driving to Alaska repeat.

    Interesting coincidence. I did more route planning this morning plus some research to decide whether to visit Glacier NP on the way to AK or when coming back. I am also interested in taking Frank's class. I currently live very comfortably in a 36' diesel pusher RV while establishing a new...

    Lucas oil stabilizer in a hydraulic system?

    Lucas is a brand that sells many products. Lucas Oil Stabilizer is definitely the wrong product for a hydraulic system. It even say's on the can/bottle "Keep that ENGINE alive". Lucas also makes hydraulic products.

    Report: Titanic Sub’s Electrical System Designed by College Students

    The problems do not lie in what you know but in what you do not know (to be relevant). Until the roof peeled off a pressurized airliner, nobody designing these things worried about fatigue even though material scientists were well aware of this Achilles heel of Aluminum alloys.
