I heard that there are now just two slots left open for the Tactical Lifesaver course. It will be held on April 15-16, 2006, in Douglas, Georgia. A Iraq war vet Physician’s Assistant (PA) will teach you a lot of skills that the American Red Cross doesn’t. (Such as: how to prep an intravenous infusion, how to insert and orthopharyngeal airway, wound debridement, suturing, how to treat a sucking chest wound, and much more.)  Don’t hesitate. This course will be sold out, soon! See: http://www.survivalreportblog.com/Tactical_Lifesaver_Course.html

A gent e-mailed to ask where he could find the freeware e-novels Lights Out and The Bug-Out, by David Crawford (a.k.a. “Halffast”). Lights Out is hosted at: http://www.giltweasel.com/stuff/LightsOut-Current.pdf  The Bug Out was serialized at The Claire Files:  http://www.tcftalk.com/clairefiles/index.php?topic=8160.0
