The littlest injury can take you out.

Of all the things I have done to my feet in my lifetime. I had a car run over my foot, stubbed my toe countless of times, and kicked stuff that I shouldn't have kicked; I break one of my toes by tripping on a dog toy. (Don't ask. The stars were align just right to make that magic happen) One little break and now my normal walking pace has slowed to a snails pace and don't get me started on how long it takes me to get up and down stairs.

Check your surroundings people! Prepare for anything even the stupidest thing. When SHTF does happen, it won't be the lead poisoning from a bullet I fear will get me, I think it will be something stupid like a splinter that gets infected and causes my heart to stop that will be my demise.

End Tramadol induced rant.

I agree with you 100% on thin matter. Without antibiotics , soaps, medicinal creams, the world would come to a stop

or proper medical knowledge.

I plan for this eventuality by letting the young ones toss legos and such about, so I am ALWAYS stubbing my toes on them, this way I can acclimatize myself to it!

There is nothing quite as painful as stepping on a lego in the middle of the night.

I don't know about that. Stepping on a scorpion at night sucks pretty bad.

Ouch!

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...

The only thing worse is to then as while trying to step off the small toy as quickly as possible, the other foot steps if fresh, warm dog crap. Been there, done that, hope not to again.
