So then, we all let the pets and children boobytrap our yards post-shtf to keep the "undesirables" out?

Liberty is not a cruise ship full of pampered passengers.
Liberty is a Man-Of-War, and we are all crew.
Sounds like a plan. They may kill us quickly but at least we know they will die a slow painful death.Originally Posted by Gunfixr

I stand by my earlier post... now, it is easy to whine and cry about a superficial injury like a broken toe. But if shtf, I would hope that you man up, or woman up. tape it tight to the next piggy over and keep on keeping on. I posted a thread a couple years ago where I crushed my foot with a slab of limestone... life went on, with a limp... never missed a day of work, never missed my chores.
bottom line, set the bone(s), treat infection (if necessary), and suck it up!

Gotta do what you gotta do. O.TOH, injuries aren't the only thing to take a body out. What do you do with a severe stomach bug, stuff comin outta both ends? Not only can you not do much during this, but it can dehydrate you rapidly which will debilitate you
I'd assume kicking a 40 pound box of 18 inch tile and breaking your toe into a 90 degree angle from the joint is a close second...
Edit: don't ask how I know this...

It is, of course, obvious that speed, or height of fall, is not in itself injurious ... but a high rate of change of velocity, such as occurs after a 10 story fall onto concrete, is another matter.

+1 for trying to maintain good hygiene and wound care of small little OWIES when SHTF. When an earthquake takes down buildings and lots of rubble is around, folks will have lots of scrapes and cuts. Don't let them get infected. A bad stomach bug and dehydration can occur in a short time.
Good reasons to keep a tube of anti biotic cream and anti-diarrhea tablets around at all times! I work about an hours drive, sometimes up to 2 hours in ugly traffic, from home. Now you know why I keep those in my car and work locations.
I just saw in the store powdered Gatorade, wonder if that could be something to store and still be good if one would need that in the future. It supposedly has all the electrolytes and stuff that liquid Gatorade has in it. I have the old fashioned packets of Kool-Aid vac-packed for the kids in the food storage. I figure if tshtf pop/soda won't be available and this might take the place of pop/soda and make the stored water taste better for the little ones.
I have plans to store a good amount of Gatorade powder. I would just store it like rice. Cool dark dry place.

I too have the powdered Gatoraide stored. Never let any moisture near it. It seems to take it like a sponge and make a rock. It is very effective in powder form. I usually mix it a little strong. Maybe cut the water by 20%.
