A Medic of Last Resort – Part 1
February 28, 2023

"...Prepping is ideally a systematic and balanced effort to acquire, in advance, the essential resources, skills and knowledge that make sustaining life on this planet possible after a collapse of a civilization occurs. Many preppers have the resources – that is, supplies and equipment – but do they have the skills and knowledge to make use of them?

Most, including myself, are sorely lacking in  medical knowledge, skills, and resources. Without one of these three (knowledge, skills, and resources) our ability to provide meaningful medical care is diminished. A medical professional could certainly do a better job on this topic than a layman like myself. However, this is what I can offer in place of a void. A Medic of Last Resort would be better than nothing, especially in an austere setting, where there will be no outside help.

The article is an attempt to help others close a gap that I found in my own preparedness, and to continue my own self-guided education. It pays to review what we have learned by researching and writing as we then naturally focus, and learn more in the process. The article also serves to better organize my approach to this topic, and as an inventory of some of what I have, and would like to acquire in the future. And it serves my friends who will likely outlive me and inherit my supplies..."
