hubby is kind of a prepper -not the creepy kind, the what if kind. He bought me gunshot wound kit

kit for my classroom. I took it and secretly rolled my eyes and stuck it in a file cabinet.



I think now I should have it in my first aide kit and also one in my Jeep.



This world has gone crazy

1. Many schools are distributing these--especially "quick place" tourniquets...

Greeley schools add trauma kits, tourniquets to classrooms
The kits are designed to let teachers provide first aid in case there is ever an emergency at the schools.

A new reality: Tourniquets, bandages as school supplies at Fort Worth ISD
Fort Worth ISD teachers are learning to use combat-style tourniquets and bandaging as part of a new program that aims to put life-saving supplies in every classroom.

I'd certainly rather see school districts focus on this and first aid training (as sad as the reality may be) than arming teachers, janitors and others. That is just ludicrous to me.

2. That such a thing would be available or necessary should an affront to all

[demtenjeep]

3. that is what I thought

but 3 mass shootings in one month made me think twice.


also, we had several social media accounts that were questionable this week and had to have police involved.

4. Makes you want to shut out the world

Not a luddite, but social media scares me. I feel like a lab rat.

5. I agree

I don't know what to think anymore

6. EXCELLENT - Prepping gets a bad rap

My family has survived the dust bowl, the depression, recessions, farm foreclosures, the bust of the oil boom....all because they were preppers from back when it was just called common sense.
The R wingers have hijacked it and turned it ugly.

7. It's never a bad thing to be prepared. Each of us is our own first responder.

8. Consider the odds.

Really.
