[QUOTE="zemuron99, post: 1291210, member: 26516"] Interesting stuff, all. I do have a tow-strap (hard to remember everything off the top) and also carry waterproof matches and chemical hand-warmers in the winter months or if going into the mountains. That VA law about bolt-cutters is...sobering. I usually carry a set whenever I have the chains with me in case a cross-link breaks and I need to cut out a damaged section. Never thought about how LE might interpret it. I may be able to explain having it that way, but certainly not if un-chained in the summer months. Hence it and the chains travel as a package. Z-killer, the quick-clot and tourniquets are great ideas. I'll look into those. I haven't seen many severe traumas, but I want to be prepared for the worst case scenario. I'm not so sure about the sutures, w/out some training/practice that may be outside my comfort zone. I'd try my best w/the towels, sponges, and tourniquet, just about anything else before pulling out the sewing kit. If LE considers bolt cutters worth a felony, wonder how they'd see the truckers friend...looks like a deadly weapon to me. But something along those lines or a spring punch to break a window in an emergency is probably a good idea as well. SIlverBolt, I had that need taken care of years ago...not gonna get any surprises, but not a bad idea for protection from the other nasties running around out there ;). Don't wanna invite any new 'friends' into your system. I work in a hospital ICU...I've seen the ravages they can cause, and it ain't pretty. Or, taking a lifetime of meds to keep the infection at bay. Not my idea of fun either. [/QUOTE]
