I know, it is a distant possibility for most. I appreciate the thread though, you know to plan something before we arrive without a plan.I hope I never find out.
You, sir, are one tough sumbitch! You have my respect.8/24/97 I cut my left hand off with a compound miter saw. Put it together, took my wife’s shorts and wrapped it then my right hand as a twisting tourniquet. Wife drove me to the hospital, I got on the radio, state vehicle, and notified the hospital we were on the way and injury and blood type. Walked it to the ER and argued with the doctors when they wanted clip the skin and toss the hand.
Not everyone panics. I’m not a EMT, former Marine. If you rely on your training, you can safe your life.

Amazing! 96% wow.One heck of a group of surgeons spent 11 hours putting it back on. Was shooting my bow 6 months later and even sold the head surgeon his first bow!
I was graded at 96%, so I get along pretty well.

I love this. We already live in the margins as hunters and do hundreds of things to slightly shift the odds in our favor. Might as well do this. Even if it only buys me an hour I could send a lot of love to my family and prayers to heaven.I know my chances of surviving an open chest wound in the backcountry are slim. But I know they’re a lot slimmer if that open chest wound stays open- you aren’t guaranteed to survive if you close it, but you’re damn near guaranteed to die if you don’t.
That’s why I have a chest seal in the pack- it doesn’t guarantee anything, but it moves the odds my direction just enough to justify me carrying one. So chest seal and a garmin InReach go with me, to move the needle a bit more in my favor.
