BIG ONE EARTHQUAKE IS VERY CLOSE

As for having basic surgical tools , I believe that it is important to have them in the event it becomes absolutely necessary .I have been on rescues the paramedics have no knife or scissors, even to this day they are not permitted to carry a knife. I believe that too, one should invest in learning some skills, if possible, so that they are capable of assisting some one that knows what they are doing .
IF the event in which some one is thrust, medical help will not be available with in a reasonable length of time or ever ,doing the best you can do beats the remaining lifetime of guilt of having done nothing or less than you might/could/should have . I KNOW what I'm talking about. We all have those woulda shoulda coulda events in life , the better one is prepared to handle it the less regret that haunts you afterword .
Those of us who hunt and dress our own harvest are probably more suited for dealing with the surgical aspect of dealing with a mammal's innards, very different though when trying to keep some one alive.
I don't know of any books that can teach some one the ability to over come the emotional stress of dealing with the trauma of open or internal injuries that require surgery , it would be worth the search .

 

A 5.8m on Oregon coastline its a southern effect of Last Alaska earthquake a few days ago. The seismic plates in California and Oregon are being subjected to pressure from north and south. I still think Southern California will be hit first.

 

I have a friend who is a general surgeon he will show me how to stitch skin. Here in Ecuador most of serious wounds were from limb loss like hands,arms,fingers,head wounds etc. They had to wait for several days to get emergency help. I think its important to educate ourselves in emergency medical care. I'm placing for youtube video on skin stitching tutorial. Remember you will have no power, so keep solar power panels and generators handy for electricity and its better to know how to make them work so that you don't go looking for operating manual in the dark. Practice emergency drills too.

 

There was a 7.1 in Peru a few weeks ago that seemed to start things IMO. Between the earthquakes and the volcano, it is an interesting time for those that enjoy watching earth events. We also have a Super Blue Blood moon on the 31st w/ and eclipse. I believe the moon does have something to do with earthquakes.

 

And, then, there's always the Amazon Warrior, and the Large Hadron Collider!

 

Will we be good Samaritans and share our last resources? A difficult choice indeed.

 

I doubt it. People do not share now. Most humans expect something in return so I have little hope that during a time of crisis that people will be helping their neighbors

 

I am told monofilament can make an effective skin stitching media in the event the best stuff is not available .
Not fond of improvising in this matter, however but one never knows the volume an event supplies might require .
I am told that it is also recommended that if bandage material is lacking , using the victims own clothing is recommended seeing they are accustomed to their own bacteria . better than introducing a foreign bacteria from some one else.

 

Hello all. I have been checking seismic activity in northern Mexico Pacific coast for the last year on a daily basis.This is an update on seismic activity close to the California peninsula. During the last two weeks it has begun to get momentum with more events per week with more intensity. Right now the movements have begun to appear on northern coast of Baja California south of Salton Sea. I am including a picture from a map of the Servicio Nacional Sismologico or Mexico Seismic Center. Green dots are category 3 and red dots are 4>5<5. From September 2017 7.2M Mexico earthquake has moved North to area close to Mexico-US border. It took 7 months to move 1200 miles. If strong movements continue we are getting close to a large earthquake.

 

Yeah the disaster prediction app highlighted sothern California a few days ago.

 

Gee thanks.

 

Maybe it will be bad enough I will feel a tiny shake out in new Mexico.

 

Will not bod well for MCRD San Diego or Camp Pendleton...

 

Although a common belief among preppers, the data actually shows that people do become generous after most disasters and looting/crime rates are lower than perceived. That's after "normal" disasters though, like hurricanes, and a SHTF deal would not hold true.

 

These past two weeks have been intensifying again. Now we have a cluster of earthquakes. Green is less than 4 and yellow is more than 4. Will keep you informed for beginning of a swarm with increasing intensity which is the alarm bell for a an earthquake. I have been trying to find earthquake simulations in California because that is a sign the authorities know something.

 

I received an alert from my Disaster app today. That part of Mexico is indicated high seismic risk.
