Thanks for all the interest in, and encouragement toward, this project. The feature story for May will cover steps a person can take to mitigate the effects of a Boston-like attack. We will discuss the contents of an "EDC" Bag (Every Day Carry).

I strongly recommend every FReeper carry one, and learn how to use its contents (tourniquet, burn jel, Celox or Quikclot, and more). We don't all have to become paramedics, but being able to immediately apply a tourniquet to the area above a severed limb, or to employ Quikclot granules to a profusely bleeding wound, or to remedy a sucking chest wound caused by a projectile, could very well mean the difference between life and death.

I hope you will all send me any ideas or expertise you have in this area. I have a great deal of experience from military and law enforcement service, and I feel competent to write the article, but I appreciate any input you all have.

Thanks.

I like the PDF file version. I still have friends and family that I can not get connected to FR. That way I can send them yours on the PDF, never been able to get that cut and paste thing down. These old eyes and arthritic hands can not type out those long url's with out making errors that take hours to correct.
