What did you speriment yer sewing skeelz on?

Baby pigs?

I do need to take a course like this. My aunt stitched the bottom of my foot when I wuz a lad of 11 years.

1.5”s and I don’t ever think of it.

Had stichin on my fore finger and years later cuz made into a walking zipper when a failed appendectomy resulted in me opened from pelvic bone to diaphram. pretty kewel for a couple of weeks and odd feeling when they pulled staples.

I look like eyez been in a knife fight or sumpin ...

They had laid out pig’s feet, one to a student. So they had real flesh to work on with the needles and the staples.

Chickens work well for suture practice and are more easily obtained. (Remove sutures before cooking.)

[NTHockey]

Good info. How about a list of theirs and other comparable seminars around the country? I’m looking for one in DE-PA-MD-NJ area.

[Vendome]

Good idea. I like to roast whole chickens and turkeys.

And if your bacon-on-the-hoof ever gets hurt real bad, you’ll be able to take care of it.

“The Marine also told much of what he knew about the situation in south Florida, from a prepper’s perspective (for which Sarge took copious notes)...”

As a resident of south Florida (Palm Beach County) I would love to know what this guy had to say. Can you share any of it?

Thanks in advance.

any idea of a class similar located in the Upstate of SC or Western NC?

[Sarajevo]

Dump all that stuff into an ALICE pack. The M17 bag can be a PITA to move around.
