Mark Koernke discussed military preparedness, equipment procurement, and field medicine during this evening broadcast. He covered available surplus military gear including Czech and Finnish camouflage uniforms, German Kevlar helmets, and M1 steel helmets, noting their availability and pricing. The bulk of the episode focused on combat medical training, including detailed discussion of field trauma treatment, the use of quick-clot products, gauze packing techniques, improvised stretchers, and the historical role of medic blades and machetes in battlefield medicine. Koernke emphasized the importance of medical training for all militia personnel and discussed casualty management protocols, pain management alternatives, and the psychological aspects of treating wounded soldiers. He also mentioned upcoming Colonial Marine Militia events and the Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot.
Live 365. I had a dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave, in this, the land of the free. and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money is spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. and your daughters visit doctors so their children can be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right we only watch him tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave is to still the land of the free second hour of the afternoon intelligence report I'm our currently third to victory for all of our brothers and and behind the lines in occupied territories Central and East Ladies and gentlemen you are listening to us Video.4mg.com Indiana Freedom Talk Radio.com We're on A1F and Micro stations CB base stations and UltaNet technologies East and West of the Mississippi along with Alaska We're on the hallmark that we're from the top of Maine to the from the bottom of the floor across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico. Headed to Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the 3rd, the 5th, the Pitt, and our friends in the recall state of Colorado. Waving the left coast where we have the great state of Jefferson, we turn back to the east, we cross the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi, And the land and the smokies slash the Blue Ridge with the restaurant crews, grandma teams, OK teams, and the Ma Bell Grammar Consortium of retired telecommunications workers bring us the gold that's bright. Many hands make for light work a million petticoat junction operators. The ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. Well, I'll tell you, it's been a really busy week in fact point out again it is the and of the week shouldn't be but it is just the way it's working out kids we have been all the stuff that's been happening all we've got special combat engineer work going on uh... as a matter of fact and we will be no way we will be doing what we can do around up uh... the rest of the technology uh... we have uh... for the operations at both Camp Emmerich, Nagahitcham and the Ogama Ranges. We will have the engineer trucks there this weekend as we know. And again, watch out traffic, pay attention guys because it's going to be very, very, very busy to say the least and we know how that works. Also people will be called upon to assist in operations with regard to work on camouflage and operations in general there. So we'll see what we can do. We'll make sure we pass that data on accordingly when the time comes. Now it has been, of course, pretty, like I said, pretty busy weekend, but today's date, let's make sure we get that in place before we go any farther, is the 26th of September. It is the sixth year of open Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation. America with a K 2014, older calendar or Mayan with oh my goodness that's right also let's not forget I know you know strodomus we're all gonna die what am I gonna do I'm gonna mildew that's what I'm gonna do anyway but as it is again pretty cool that's some really interesting things that have been going on here over the last couple of weeks uh... with regard to re-inventor top creek and uh... again for our friends out there listening top creek machine gun shoot coming up this next month and in the process we of course after buying people that if you're going to marine and you're going to be being put in the event uh... corner marine uh... militia uh... national meeting event go to w w w dot colonial marine militia dot for m g dot com all the code instructions Remember you need to use your PIN, your PIN number for your unit in order to access your instructional, your tutorial. So again, that's something every unit is going to have to deal with. Remember that your S3 or your G3, depending upon the size of your formation, will be dealing with both the deployment and with security site information along with the class skip for that weekend. I understand that again we're adding personnel to the meetup. I believe that there are going to be, well for the CMM events because there's national meeting business that simply has to be taken care of. They don't have any choice on this. They've got to get it done. And that means plugging in all the rest of the work schedule to make sure that it is kept. There's going to be a tight schedule to get it accomplished. One, two, three, bing, bing, bing. Don't be surprised, it's just the way it's going to work. They're going to be pressing the schedule. If there's going to be a border decision made, that's going to be the rank and file, that's going to be the different RCT, again, regimental combat team commanders slash representatives, that will be at the event. That's their job. Everybody is going with orders or with, again, an agenda from uh... their home states so we'll find out what happened with the top creek resolution people came in from all points of the compass and at the process uh... we kind of want to wait the original reason for the big was communications we had represented montana that showed up they gave an overview was going out with the freemen everybody pretty well said well hell no we're not going to let other way to take place so the top creek resolution was uh... completed on the uh... Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot Weekend. It was delivered the next Monday across the whole of the United States simultaneously to federal offices basically explaining that if you decide to play Waco, none of them are going to war. And we're not going all over the... We're not going to be going to... You know, from all over to Montana, we're going to fight you right here in place wherever we are. So congratulations, that's how it works. That's why the controlled media did everything they could to not, and I can't stress that enough, to not. don't know the history of everything that they could to the information was done as quickly as they could now a couple things here you know by the way odds and ends stuff you got it guys when I run into things they are offering German German offices coats these are German offices coach you thought they'd get away with those which I thought was kind of probably pricey though because they're actually it's civilized like and that means that they're going to probably be like, oh my god, what was that price again? That's what they look like anyway. Also, when they came in, I've got to make a call tomorrow. You know, I told you a lot about the Czech, what we call the Predator uniform, the old airborne uniform. Well, there's another country that embraced a variation on the Czech uniform. Up until now, I have not seen it inside the United States. I know it probably even was built by the Cheques for the Fins or vice versa because the Cheques, of course, were doing a lot of rental revolution work. They've had their industry in place, of course, for quite a while. You know, Czechoslovakians back in the day, guys. But the Cheques, you know, the Cheques in the mail, ha ha ha ha. The Chex were producing a lot of these heavy gauge and well-built uniforms and it turns out that we might actually be able to get the check or the finished version of the uniform, which by the way is not only the standard uniform, but by one understand is a reversible two-season uniform. Now if that's the case, that makes us an even better choice. So I'm going to have to find out more about these. I didn't know until today. I, in fact, have been trying to get a hold of the people that brought in his wholesale to see what they say about them if they actually have been stock. But it looks like they do. They go up to 2X and all the way down to medium. And they probably go down lower than medium, but at least they claim that medium to double, you know, to 2X is available. So the pattern itself is standard finish combat infantry. I don't know if they've changed out from this pattern. They may have already, but like other uniforms, there's stuff that shows in the surplus. But in this case it's irreversible, which is kind of rare in the surplus as far as getting original material that actually does what it's supposed to do. So these are not copies. This is military trying to find while I'm talking here just to see if I could get a quote on the price, but I don't see it happening right away. And I probably am going to have to talk to them. the and the jackets are available in those. They're used, but they're actually a pretty good price, and we're talking cheap. But, again, that's wholesale. If you were to find them anywhere else, I guarantee they're stupid price retail. These just came in. They may get snagged up before you even get a chance to do anything with them, guys. I'm just giving you a heads up to keep an eye out. But if they survive the next several days, I'll be able to probably give everybody a quote on these. and we'll go from there but it definitely is worthwhile however the check ambush pattern especially in the season that we're in right now virtually invisible this sounds weird it's just the way it works in the field not an office uniform doesn't look right in the office at all wasn't meant to be part of fire to purify was more like a flower you know it's not pleasing to the eye in a in a square you know desk environment But in the field it is in fact it's kind of comical in that respect because you know people would make stupid comments And I always enjoyed that because it's like yeah, yeah, you're right. Oh, yeah, it's really dumb It's you know it really looks it looks stupid. It's like yep. You're right and Those individuals couldn't find in fact they would literally walk by or walk over individuals that were deployed wearing the equipment wearing uniform properly camped out head to toe the way they should be Well, it's not that the stuff doesn't work, it does. Why they're selling the stuff, because that would be the first question, why are they selling it if it works? Well, they are selling it because they're surplus out there, guys. We haven't run into this very often. As I pointed out, when I see it, if I can grab it, we will. Interestingly enough, I'm finding a lot more of the Serbian I'm finding a lot more of the Serbian camouflage out there also that came in and a lump, but I'm finding the other carriers that have it in stock and as soon as I get more information on that I'll let you know but again Serbian was Woodland, the Woodland camo. Then I found out about other stuff that I didn't know they had. Oh okay, well it turns out, or I should say that we didn't know it would come in. It turns out that we are We're probably going to be giving everybody a heads up on some of the other FlakTurn too. But the interesting thing about this is again, I don't see the headgear, but I do see the uniforms. So I will give everybody a can. If I recommend this, if it's reasonably priced, I can recommend this if it's stupid like, oh, you really think this is exotic. Well, it is. You can keep it. But we'll do what we can there. Now, there were some questions about helmets. Kevlar helmets are out there, but the US Piss Pod is also, this is Quartermaster Friday guys, and I've got to get into some of this. The M1 US Piss Pod is a fine system. So much so that pretty much everybody duplicated it. The Dutch, the Bells, the Germans, has been the latest wave of 1970s to early 80s type. A US B-Green issue army, field coats, all the gear, everything, OD green. But one of the things that's coming out too are the rest of the support systems. The web gear is cheap. The helmets are M1 copies. In fact, all the parts interchanged with the US. Looking for more US steel piss pots, right now this is going to be the time to grab them. They just now started to come in in quantity and I will have particulars on them eventually. They come with the liner, the helmet and the chin strap. Of course I would be expected. Well of course Mark, they should come that way. Yes they sure don't. Oh, I'm looking for us to see if I can find the, again, the best price. Oh, here we go. I got it. The best price for these things without, again, selling your first born, newborn son or whatever to try and make a deal. I'm sorry, I don't believe in that. You know what I've been saying? Clearance, go to the clearance sections. Clearance sections and go to the clearance sections. Now there are two patterns that are quite similar. One is the Norwegian Camo Field 7080s and the other is the Czech and the Finn pattern, which it looks like both look like they're available and it has both season patterns. This is a reversible camo suit. They have them all the way up to apparently at least 1x, possibly 2x. They are the M62 pattern uniform, but I don't see any headgear and I will find out. No, it's not uncommon for the headgear until after everything else is sold out and then, oh look, we've got the rest of the gear available for it. However, if this pattern is everything that I think it is, and I'm pretty sure it has the basic check colors on one side and the fin. lattice pattern on the other, which is cool. There's one lighter than the other. This would cover virtually all seasons and is a very effective camouflage pattern. I haven't seen this in 20 years, 25 years where I haven't seen this pattern available. So it's up, maybe up for grabs. If it is, we're going to get some. We'll see what we can do anyway. And then we'll go from there. Again, body armor, the Kevlar helmets, I don't know what the price is going to be. Normally I purchase the used ones. These are brand new, but they will still be a better price than the average pair. The German Kevlar helmets are made to the same spec as the US Kevlar helmets. So, as long as they're not the training helmet, which has that glossy plastic, it is a glossy plastic because it's a cast plastic if it's a training helmet. has the right pattern. We'll keep your head from being caved in. That's why I was asking, does it have to be Kevlar's and ballistic? We can get the ballistic helms, but it would point out that for just keeping your head from bouncing around, the training helms will work just fine, but I would make a point of obviously marking them for the benefit of the troops and for your own inventory. The way to do this on the inside, not on the outside, please, off Kevlar. Writing that on the outside somewhere would be inviting someone to do a noggin shot. As it is, they might be trying anyway, but to draw attention so that not only your equipment works, well, the way everybody would expect by silhouette, you want to avoid flagging anybody. Okay? Like letting the bad guys know, hey shoot me, he's over here! Okay, I'm hickin' doodad. Boom! And there you go. swimmer wear, they talk to you about water diving suit and all that. And also looking at Canadian too. The Canadian gear will be comparable for obvious reasons and the Canadians build actually as well. In fact, here's a little secret, chances are both the Norwegian, the Belgian and the German are all the same product line as the Canadian or at least built by the same companies. They may have a different name on them. But if they're milsback, then the Germans, the Belgians and the Dutch cooperate quite extensively with the Canadians. So much so that you have to remember that the Canadians use panthers for part purposes. I don't know how many panthers they have left. Or panthers went to war. Man, World War II. Well, that burned. They're using the leopard tanks for parts interchangeability and again ease of maintenance and transport issues. As far as like the cold weather gear, there's a lot of cooperation with the Arctic and Northern, North Atlantic emergency services and so a lot of that stuff is integrated from one to the next. I don't believe, in fact, the company I'm looking at here deals with that kind of stuff, but I'd have to call them. Mark, I just think even when there's war starts, Mark, I say we're going to still need rescue swimmers out there. We might not get the Coast Guard, but having that cold water gear, good life does. It's going to see it as much down there in the Gulf, not as much of a problem as it's still handy to have because it gets cooler, but it's not going to get cold. Yeah, the biggest thing is to be aware of there, but the other thing is is Dry a dry rescue suits could be used quite effectively to move people across water obstacles the other thing is like body bags Which are everybody's oh my god, they use the body bag guys the body bag is a tool everybody used to haul everything you can imagine in body bags of course drugs to ice who body bags especially are cool because they have six handles on them they zip up and airtight, nothing gets to your equipment, you drop it from the chopper and run, in other words drop and flop and go, all the gear is easy to drag along. Body bags are durable, they're decided to pop open, unlike a lot of other mil-spec gear. Other military pouches and stuff are bags that will bust open or will break open. Body bags are pretty durable. Now the same is true of the wet weather suits, the wet weather, forgive me, the dry suits. The survival suits would be a consideration because they're designed to keep the water out and keep your heat in. Now a little trick on that, typically the booties and the gloves in those emergency rescue suits are wool mittens and wool gloves, or wool booties, that's what they are. They're actually wool, the mittens are like a big floppy version of the standard trigger finger mitten and they're sewn right into the gear. right into the waterproof sleeves. The booties are the same thing. They're a thick, like a big, like a made out of and they're really comfortable. I used to scavenge those from the shredded because the government also, US government shreds all of those here in the US. But the cool thing is they wouldn't damage the mittens or the hangers or the hanger straps or the boots. so you can salvage a whole bunch of really nice cold weather support gear from all of those. But I'd look at the wet emergency survival suits that are not necessarily heated, just be for saying dry, dry. Well, you know, the thing is, Mark, I just found out my oldest son once become a Coast Guard rescue swimmer. You know what I told him? Up in the wake, start getting into shape, because you're going to have to be in shape. Run, run, run, run, run, run, well, swim, swim, swim, swim, actually. Swimming's better for you than running anyway. The winning part is because out of the water, no buoyancy, you're building up stamina. But that's why you do beach running. Otherwise, you're in the water swimming, you use every muscle. You don't gain mass quite the same way, more like you're a big fish or look at it like a sea lion, except you don't get the blubber. I noticed I used to swim all the time. I used to actually be in competition swimming when I was younger. the one thing that's fascinating is the type of muscle development. You notice that when I was in track, different musculature altogether, I ran track too, eventually, and then didn't swim as much. I swam privately, but I didn't swim in competition or for underwater competition. Well, one thing I heard about in a rescue swimmer is you can't be afraid of someone's nose just so they don't pull you down with them. Well, yeah, that's always the issue. People have tendency to be stupid above water or below. They can be stupid on the street and you just want to break their nose anyway. That might say, but you're panicking in the water and they just... I know, I'm very familiar. That's the whole point. That's where, again, sometimes it's best to let them drown a little bit. Well, hey, I heard it. Drowns a little bit is usually not quite as motivated to fight because they don't have as much oxygen to work with. That's sometimes an issue. We had a big debate on that years ago. It's like we really can't let them drown. Well on the other hand it's like you really want to drag you down because you were fighting them and of course you have to you know usually having to get into a slugfest in the water is not your you know first best thing to do you know what I mean even there it's a neat idea but it just tends to tend to it's it's a lot of work to get the right hit in so mostly what you're doing is a lot of times uh try it again oh hit him again try it again oh hit him again try it off and he's probably gonna get tired of you beating on him. Well, Mark, what about in the battlefield, like I say, if someone has his legs blown off and, you know, he's going to give away your position, you've got to probably knock him out. Most of the time, the discussion there, and I've got to remember, is it's a matter of whether or not the individual knows what his situation is. And this has been something where, again, the medic's job is to calm the person down. If they are not feeling pain, depending on where you are in the shock cycle, Initially, when they first get hit is the best time to move anybody. We all know that, right? The other thing is, something you know and I haven't talked about this, but I highly recommend that if you're going to be medics, we get back into the World War I policy of carrying, the guys used to, I know guys did in World War II because I know combat vets, that were medics. They used to carry a bolo machete or they would carry the woodsman's pal. And it's not for necessarily chopping on sticks, although you could chop branches and sticks real quick, chop down the sapling and make a nice set of arms for a stretcher, make an improvised stretcher when you ran out of stretchers. But mostly what that's for is if you have a limb that's partially severed but not severed and you're on a battlefield situation or if you're in a mass casualty situation, The purpose for that big meat cleaver type blade is to get rid of the rest of the limb. In other words, if it's hanging by two tendons and a little piece of meat, that's your best chance to get rid of it right there. That's one of the other reasons Mr. Machete is your friend or again the Woodsman's Pals or a long blade battle implement. A lot of the guys carried the longer Springfield slash Garand bayonet just for that reason when they were medics because they gave them a cleaving blade. That was another option but the long bayonet eventually was done away with. They turned in on long blades and those were sent to the armories and they were cut. to the standard length for the regular US brand, Vanetta as it was, you know, originally patterned, as it was eventually patterned. So all the model 1918 blades were knocked down to the model 42 length. And that's not uncommon, but the medics would grab them, the scab them, and you would not turn them in, or they would again get hold of a Woodsman's pal. Woodsman's pal looks like a It's actually a defoliating tool and a machete. It's got a machete arc blade on one side. It's got almost like an axe cleaving blade on the back and it's got a hook blade for taking off limbs. And they used to issue for the medics of World War I and pre-World War I, going back before the Civil War, they used to issue a specific medics short sword. And basically what it looked like was a gladius. Although it didn't have the bevel, you know like in the middle, it didn't have that teardrop pattern to it. It was more like a straight drop blade. And usually about 22 inches long, although they were as short as 18. Very heavy girth, about a quarter inch shank on some of the heavier ones. And they were designed for chopping off the rest of a limb that we know was already gone, because they weren't going to attach anything back in the day. Well, the other consideration there is that if depending on how bad the situation is, neither will we be doing that. We're going to be simply trying to save the man's life. We probably are not going to be able to recover limbs now. It will depend on the environment. But it's a good idea that if it's hanging on by, you know, one last piece of flesh, all that's doing is getting in the way, kids. If it's hanging on by a piece of skin, like, you know, and it's it, again, you got to be fast. I've gotten into a bad habit of slowing down on response, for instance, with certain things. I'm getting out of that habit again when it comes to medical. In the first issue of a problem, start dosing everything up the way we traditionally have. If you've got something that needs to be evacuated, do it sooner and faster. When it comes to evacuating wound channels, debriding things, We asked all the new BS agenda, which is mostly political correctness and failure from the medical end. It's always the case. It's not a better solution than some of the stuff they've come up with. It's purely to satiate political correctness and lawsuits. In reality, from our perspective, guys, you've got to get in there, get it done fast, plug the holes, uh... get rid of the designated tissue where he had purchased pulverized and damaged uh... it may help in some cases to plug the whole but in many cases the material or detergent or debris needs to be evacuated to brighter almost immediately simply to be able to work on the healthy tissue that's left so that's something that you could that's good we got around to this thing but again uh... machete if you're a medic in the field there are too many things with the machete coming in and you got to improvise splints trying to break or snap or fold things wrong. An 18 inch machete gives you the cleaving power to break, snap, break, snap, there you go, congratulations, cut it to length, slap, slap, slap, and a few more pieces of tape, you gotta splint, you got whatever you need to build. But you need the tool to do it, and the tool has to have some girth. It can't be a cheapie either, you need something that's good quality. for that reason. Well, the medic blades eventually even had a saw back. Yeah, you can imagine what the saw back was. If you had a jagged bone that was sticking out, the meat had been stripped away from the leg bone or the arm bone, the idea was to hack that off real quick down to a shorter distance, but still with workability so that the doctor and everybody else wouldn't be stabbed and jabbed by the patient. Sounds gruesome. It's part of the reality of having to deal with mass trauma cases and a whole bunch of casualties and you have to work fast to save lives. Mark, would it be practical to carry chloroform in a medical kit? Repeat again. You're a little fuzzy and soft, George. Now, would it be practical to carry chloroform in a medical kit? Yeah, chloroform, but the problem is dosage issues and again, you have to almost say that you're better off doing a single inhalation, a drop rather than trying to figure out, well, I'll dose the person up because you can kill them with chloroform. It's not going to happen right away, but people get, here's the problem. Are your people disciplined enough that are administrating the stuff that they stay focused? People get hyper, people get scared, especially if they don't have any experience with shock trauma cases where you're looking at extreme casualties. I know it helps, okay, that's more like morphine or morphine or all the others. You know, if you start handling that, they're gonna start pissing with you. No, chloroform, not really. As far as I know, I haven't seen any changes in the regulations because perform is used industrially for a lot of other applications. The biggest problem is you don't really want it hanging around. You better make sure you're careful with the accidental discharge of the stuff because a breakage of containers is not a good thing. On the other hand, again, because it's used for preservation of preservatives, it's actually used in ammunition storage. It's been used by the Chinese. I've watched them. We've seen the process. Anyway, more likely, like I said, when the time comes, we're going to be looking at painkillers or whatever we can acquire or employing what is normally used for initial pain reduction. Most everybody is familiar with also the idea of initiating irrigation and also trying to reduce bacterial foot packs, sulfa drugs, which are still out there by the way. Basically, remember a quick cloth was something that was in vogue, it's kind of common but faded back but it's not gone. It's just that I think they went from the incredible massive amounts of quick cloth that they were using back to where when it was originally invented it was primarily used for plugging massive wound channels. because that's really a big issue. You can't get deep into something. But originally a quick plot was, or the variation on a quick plot was in a can that was about the size. A whole about a one ounce, a one ounce collar used to be smokers cans. And basically you flip the top off, the plug is inside, it was recommended you take and push the whole thing into the wound. It pops out about the size of your thumb. but only about half the length of your thumb. Actually, it's a little chubbier than your thumb. The outer packing was cellulose and what you do is when you pop it out, you shove it right into the wound channel, right into the meat. Yeah, it's messy. But the thing is, what it does is immediately, the way the packet was set up, there was an absorbent, obviously it's an absorbent sponge slash gauze pack. And what that does is it immediately swells up and puts pressure on the inside of the wound channel. In addition to that, these were permeated with a quick clot agent, so immediately it also starts to promote a sealing of all of the secondary, you know, first the capillary of secondary injuries, which again, massive bunches of little bleeders can kill you just as easily as one big artery slash. Loss of blood and loss of pressure creates all kinds of other issues. Renal failure, think of all the problems of progressive cascading failure for lack of fluid and other issues that develop because of that lack of fluid, because of that lack of blood pressure. One of the things that we talked about is actually taking the quick plot, which you can buy in packet powder form the way everybody is normally issued, and you can prepackage and do a gauze roll where you could reload it or you could load it with the quick clock back up. Now there's unroll it, you're going to have to keep everything clean but what you do is you could prep it by using the powder on the gauze roll. Roll the gauze roll back up. Typically it's one inch and usually what like 25 feet or whatever. Those gauze packs are so useful for so many things. I've had several stab wound channels. Guys, if you don't know if you can't find what's inside and you don't want them probing you constantly, what you do is you take about 10 feet or 5 feet of that gauze. It gets packed into the wound channel. What happens is it works. Now you're not going to pack every foot of that in there. I mean, what you're going to do is as much as is necessary to pack the channel. And what you do is it wicks. It pulls out the pus and the infected or damaged tissue. and evacuates progressively like a wick. It comes out like a silly, like a chunk of silly putty is what it does. In, again, the length of the gauze. Again, there's so many places where those one inch roll of gauze or half inch roll gauze can be used that it should be a priority in your medical kit and in your logistics train. I've got five, five gallon square pastry tub sterile that right now are going to be redeployed. I just packed up another five. And we'll go through those like they're like feces through a goose, guys. We're going to need more and more and more. You should all be collecting. I've emphasized this. Grabbing more medical supplies. My attitude is everybody, even if you're not a medic, should be carrying that type of material, George. Everybody out there listening. A quick plot, of course. You can get the veterinary version of that. I'm going to remind everybody that it burns, it burns, it burns. I don't care if it's a quick clot or whatever, there's one thing to remember about it. You're going to be putting your patient through a little extra discomfort. The argument is, if you have to start ripping muscle packs aside or if you have to start going into bone canals, you're creating a lot of discomfort. The idea is that that quick, short burst of discomfort is better than a dead patient pasty blue laying on the ground for lack of blood. That's the reason you balance it out. Again, one of the things you remember is having the intestinal fortitude and eventually you learn. Doc will keep you alive. Even if it doesn't look like Doc can keep you alive, Doc will try to keep you alive. And you know what's amazing? Because he tries, there's a lot more people that make it that don't because the person gains experience. And that's how it's supposed to be. Mark, yes, like anything else we're doing. Our job is to put the target down. His job is to keep us online so that we can continue to put the target down. If not, and you're hit, the idea is to keep you aligned so we can get you patched back up, take you back out and do it all again. Mark, you know what I'm saying? I don't know if I... You know the thing is, I see some medics are carrying the electronic blood pressure kit and electronic thermometer. Mark, I prefer it with just the carrier standard BB cup and a decent depth of scope with two different thermometers. If somebody is tossing out the electric, grab them. My problem is, I haven't seen one yet that is that reliable. If you get them for free, I just got a couple of the electrics for free and I don't trust them. But I would use them, provided you can back them up and do a quick test on the model if it's battery packed up with a pressure cup and a stethoscope. I watch for all the... I don't know why, but again, I've been getting them in the box new, but probably from the 90s, pressure cups and stethoscopes. Usually they're in sets, but it's like sometimes one part gets thrown out. By the way, if you see part of a stethoscope, grab it. Always. Spare parts can progressively be put together to make a stethoscope because that's the other thing I'm running into I find parts of. Well, if I, you know, eyeball for stuff like that. For a regular pressure cup and a stethoscope simply because they just seem to be the most reliable way to go. most of the electric ones even the ones made in germany have had major recalls for failure now they make real simple ones i mean i've got one like i said i just picked up two now the last what week and uh... both of them everything's there and they're one is german the other one appears to be uh... something from middle europe i mean look that closely at it and in both cases they take standard batteries both cases they look to be about the same model but uh... Having seen the mistakes made with applying and using them, they're for general issue use. You know, is there a problem or isn't there a problem? But as far as for major casualty issues, no, I'd still be counting on the standard pressure cup and the stethoscope and somebody taught to use it. Well, Mark, I hope someday to get a good litmus stethoscope. Repeat? A litmus stethoscope. Well, the big thing is anything you can find. I mean, if you get it for cheaper free dollars, again, we have preferences, but I would point out that anything that you can get hold of, a practitioner scope, a cardioscope, whatever you can get hold of, grab it. First rule, remember that. Don't care what it is, grab it. Why? Here's the other thing that's going to happen. I've got too many different types of patients and I'm going to need those special tools. for somebody. The other thing is remember some of the people waddling in shell shocked are doctors and they're not going to be allowed to sit off for the sidelines. They're going to drag their Harry Heinden right into doing their job. Now there's some guys listening right now that are militia people that are laughing because they're all doctors just about and that's one of the things they specialize in is they're teaching everybody all across virtually the entire unit I think by the time we're done and they've got hundreds of men recruited. I think they're all going to be medics, they'll all be medical qualified. It's like we've got a unit in Pennsylvania that's mostly the people that made up one of the militia that's there over towards the middle of the state. They're all from the National Guard medical detachments. And because of that, they're very medical support oriented. One of the things that they do, every man in the unit carries an M16 mag pouch with saline and sugar. Every man is carrying a bag, carrying again intravenous bags guys and butterflies. So that Doc has got whatever he needs. Of course most all of them know how to use them. And that's a big big plus because getting fluids and volume back into a casualty is so hypercritical. Most people think well we can't do that. Are these people saying, one of the shooter casualties. Well I'll shoot you first you sorry POS. We have the ability, we have the knowledge, we have the technology, and we are better than that. So again, you know, prior-to-prior planning prevents piss poor performance, gets motivated. Mark, I haven't heard in the Russian army that they shoot their own casualties. Well, the problem is it's a matter of how well you manage things. And you've got to remember the stinking communists were run by the Jewish mob. So the goyim cattle were being put down to save time and money. And that's how it works. That's the bottom line. The other part about it is, they just didn't have the logistic support. You know, traditionally they were closer to about as barbaric. The communists are no different. from the medieval days. If you could crawl your arse off the battlefield, at least the vultures wouldn't get you number one. Hang onto your knife because the dogs would get you number two. And then hopefully a family member would be looking for you and they might drag you off the battlefield. Or you, you know, bled into the wound enough that you sealed up a little bit, you didn't agitate it, it didn't pop open. Well, then you had to survive the possibility of infection or tetanus, depending on what happened and how badly cut you were. So it's a matter of degrees. Well the communists want to be better with that. Now I'm going to remind you of something in general guys, that when you get into a major conflict, yes there are wounds and injuries that are so bad that yes you can be saved, but you're not. My dad was in a death ward for 90 days. A death ward. Not in a general ward, he was in a death ward. He was horribly, he was badly injured. And finally, when they realized he wasn't going to die, well, they finally decided to move him. But even when they moved him, the first thing the doctor did, very blunt, he said, well, Semen Kornky, you have survived so far. We are going to try to move you. I do not believe that you will survive the move. Good luck. And that's the last thing. The same doctor that did the surgery on him, when he put him in the death ward, is the doctor that checked him out. So it happened in our army too guys, to say I mean it did, only in that, you know, how much can you do for a person? And in fact when you have thousands or hundreds and then thousands of casualties, a percentage are just so horribly wounded that the logic is that you can only keep them comfortable but they're going to die. That happens George, that's one of the problems. One of the guys, in fact my dad, last time I was with my dad, he brought up the thing about the guy that I told you about, they got the prop right up his crotch, right? He was hit with a prop and it cut him almost in two right up underneath the heart. Initially when they brought the guy in, they did not do anything for him, George, other than make him comfortable. He was totally lucid and he was talking to them. And he kept telling them, hey, I'm not going to die. I plan on getting out of here. Well, he's the other guy that was transported out with my dad. And every step of the way, the doctors kept being surprised. They realized he wasn't going to die in the first two days, three days. So they finally decided they had to start, that's what he told me, he said, you know, here's what happened, this was just a couple months ago. He said, you know, what they told him is, you know, what they finally realized is that they better do something because he was still alive. So they took him into surgery and did more work to start putting him back together, you know, reattaching parts, you know, and they were dosing him with penicillin G and they were dosing him with more, you know, enough morphine so he wasn't screaming in pain. But they progressively were pulling him back together by the time they got him at the hospital ship Solace out in the middle of the Pacific. They had done enough surgery, they had him better halfway back together. Now think about that. He was almost cutting too. One of the prop off the bomber that hit the ship. whacked him right at the crotch off to the side, left all the dangly parts intact, but chopped him just so clean that it was a pressure wound. It didn't slit everything open. It jammed everything up into his chest just below the rib cage. The prop stopped right about there and it stopped before the heart. So you figure out what that guy looked like, George? Dad, he was right there with him every step of the way out. Here's the thing. That death ward was 300 beds plus and they cleaned it out three times while he was there. There were three men that left when he left. Everybody else had come and gone dead and dying, you know, dying and then dead over and over again. There's an idea of how things work. We've got to be prepared for bad. especially with the gut shot, start breathing through your mouth because the smells are pretty bad and it takes your focus away. The second thing is it's a mental thing. You need this, this is terrible, it just sounds horrible. But if you're treating this person, if you're the only person there who has the know-how or you think you have the know-how and you're jumping in, you need to look at that person, you need to look at that human being at that moment as a machine. You cannot see that individual as a person with a soul you have to be hurting with them Exactly term you can't be hurting with them. You're gonna have possibly have to hurt them it must sleep and then I'm gonna jump in on you George here because I've got a couple things to say before the top or angel we need to in that situation Where we're treating someone if you're the person treating the casualty you need backup and you don't you only need back Remember, but you also need backup for that person themselves because if they are conscious We need to have someone Tending to their consciousness. We need to have someone talking to them. We need someone at their head end holding their shoulders down. Let me tell you, when people are in pain, you have no morphine, you have no painkillers. They're going to be fucking left and right. Their limbs are going to be going everywhere. Whoever's at their head end is talking to them, trying to calm them down, keep their eyes focused on whoever's at that head end. Then you've got a couple other guys on the sides holding their limbs down while you're in there doing the work. So, you know, we have to think about these things. Last thing I'll say on this, if you don't have quick clot, and the person's gonna die, they're bleeding out, stuff the hell out of the wound with sand. It's not sanitary, you're gonna have to wash it out with saline and irrigate the heck out of it. But sand will clot wounds from a deeper level to give you enough time to get the person somewhat stabilized to get it back to the rear. Thank you guys. Very good, appreciate that. And again, one of the basic rules is each man will be tended by another man. The Marine Corps does this, it's done this forever. If a man's down, there's another man that's with him. When evacuating the individuals, once everything is secured, now you don't stop fighting if you're fighting. That's the first rule. If you don't win, if you think it's bad where your people are taking care of you, understand the other side may decide they don't like wounded casualties of any kind that are the enemy camp. And that's all she wrote. You know what I mean? So just something to think about there. Remember, first rule, you've got to fight and win. Even if you're wounded, you try to contribute to the fight. You stay focused. If at all possible, and again, the other problem here is the balance. See, people are tempted to do the, well, we need to get painkillers, and the problem, guys, is there are things we can do, but there are things that the bad guys will muck with you over. We can't, you know, say, go do this. But I would remind everybody again that if you've got neighbors that have, you know, family members that have had, you know, illnesses and they've died, typically they want to throw everything out. Grab everything that you can. If there's medications or whatever, can them up, triple pack them and get them away from you. And store them, you know, bury them, do whatever you're going to do with them, but get them away from you. Don't keep them in your house, don't keep them in your garage, don't keep them around anywhere. But all your medical supplies and all the other stuff, grab everything that they want to get rid of. Your fields, pads, splints. oxygen tubes, oxygen masks, I got whole oxygen tank systems. Sadly enough, one of my friends I went to school with, his mother, went through the whole process with advanced asthma, progressively with other respiratory problems. She ended up passing away and we all go sometime. But the thing is that, you know, after she had 20-some oxygen bottles, oxygen tanks, you know, he made sure she was well taken care of. When he was done, they can't take it back. And so that whole system went to one of our ambulances. So ask. You know, don't be, you know, it's like, hey, I'm not trying to be rough. I'll take care of it, make sure it's got a home. 4x4s, bandages, tape, all the stuff we talked about and a whole lot more guys. If it's medical support grab it. You don't know what it does, but doctor we've got this back behind you. He does know what to do with it and he'll sort it, the nurse is helping and will take care of it. But we need docs, we need the nurses to have the tools, they need the toolbox. God bless the republic. We shall prevail when his empire is on the run. We are the mark. J and I. Hoorah! We're going to be back. Meanwhile, militia town hall, don't you go anywhere guys. Jump on in there and carry this subject on and more. I know Ed's got a lot to talk about tonight. And for all of you, pitch in. We'll be back in 8 this evening with BK and myself. Order Master Friday guys. Take advantage of the goodies. I'll find out about those finished uniforms here as quickly as I can. Bye bye. And the sun will always shine on the old liberty tree. It's a tall old tree and a strong old. And we are the suns, yes we are the suns, the suns are liberty. Marks will honor the hyperborn, we were born forever free. Thanks to a pair of hyperboys, be the liberty tree. It's a tall old tree and a strong old tree. And we are the sons, yes we are the sons, the sons of liberty. Pay the price they're asking for, it's all we pay, the time of sleep. Never give up the struggle, or in spite of the liberty, it's a tall old tree and a strong old tree. And we are the sons, yes we are the sons, the sons of liberty. Stand for the right to pass. Stand against all tyranny Hang the lands for freedom Boys have a liberty treaty It's a tall old treaty And a strong old treaty And we have a sons Yes we have a sons This hands for liberty If you'll grow as we grow Or as it will be As strong as we We must cling to our fate Boys hang them a liberty treaty It's the power of old three and the strong old three And we are the sons, yes we are the sons of liberty
