    What to do after snake bite?

    This right here is the best advice. My graduate research was rattlesnake venom, particularly Mojave toxin from Mojave rattlesnakes. There can be over 40 different proteins in one venom and they can be both anticoagulants and coagulants. There are proteins that cleave off the antigen binding sites, which makes antivenom or any other antibody formation useless. Modern antivenom is a mixed bag now that its made from goat serum instead of horse serum. Its supposed to be more antigen-specific, which makes them more efficient, but the proteins are smaller, so they pass through your body unattached faster, which causes you to require more of the stuff, which drives your hospital bill up. You get the picture. I've seen the after pics of a guy who placed his hand in ice water and all that was left by the time he got to the hospital were nubs. I've seen the data for the tests using Sawyer Extractors and lesser "venom removal kits" and I've been advocating for 15 years that they are worthless. I used to keep one more to keep my wife happy, even though I knew it was useless. Yes, the best thing you can do is to remain calm and keep your blood pressure down. If its an appendage and you can keep it elevated, that's the best. Its when those proteins mentioned above hit your liver, kidney, or heart that all heck breaks loose internally. I have binders and binders full of venom research articles if anyone wants to see any. I also have a picture from a scanning electron microscope (2000x) showing a protein peeling off the tissue layer that keeps your muscle fibers all in one bundle. Total loss of muscle control.... I have spent quite a bit of time googling and watching youtube videos on DC current being used as antivenom. Do you have any research on this. Dude I know got attacked by a swarm of bees and afterward stuck his fingers in a spark plug on an old truck and he said the burning stopped almost instantly. He got the idea from a reptile magazine in the 90's. The theory is dc current does something to the molecular structure of it or something blah blah blah. I read that it has to be between 10-20k volts DC, to where you can only feel a slight tingling sensation. One video I watched a guy had a hand crank generator and he swears he saved a few peoples lives with the device. I think it was in south america or africa.
  4. Hey guys, just talked to a customer today who helps out with the field days. He said they have been so behind that G&F has hired a bunch of dudes to be doing them now every month. I think this applies at least to the Sierra Vista ones. Not sure about up north.

    Need part number for Vanguard tripod

    Your the man! Thank you. I thought it would have had to been something manufactured specifically for vanguard. M
  7. Anyone know what the chingazo is called that is threaded inside and outside which connects the tripod to the head? I got an extra head but cant attach to existing tripods without it and I just through out my paperwork a couple days ago like a doofus. I already looked online and couldn't find it.

    What to do after snake bite?

    Pray, while sending an sos on your PLB then head back to the truck and head to a hospital. These scenarios really got me thinking once my kids and wife started hunting with me. Cashed in a bunch of credit card points and have $430 worth of REI giftcards which is going to my Garmin In Reach Explorer.

    Deer Leftovers

    Right now I work for Mule Mountain Pest Control, I'm also a remodeling contractor. Are you around SV?

    Deer Leftovers

    Treehuggers are real die hard... til it cost them money, then their ideology goes right out the window. I see it all the time with bee removals. They never want to kill the bees until they hear how much its going to cost to try and remove them alive. We gas em everytime.

    First archery buck!

    Congrats. Hes a biggun.
  15. Bums me out you call this a kids gun. Shot me first rifle deer, first elk and two more elk with the same gun and scope. Then had it stolen out of my truck... I'd pay good money to get that thing back. Even sold it to a friend once and traded back for sentimental value.

    Prickly pear picking

    you dont say Bona'Fide Hill Billy Rocket Engineari'n Rite Dare Maybe so. But $60 is a lot cheaper then $500-600 for some fancy eBay thing that will give me the same results. Well not me but other people who I have seen do this. Me personally, I'd never short change uncle Sam.

    Mayweather vs. McGregor

    I'd love to see Mayweather lose but it sounds like other dude is as much of a schmuck as him so I'm hoping for a draw.

    Prickly pear picking

    The gallons per year I thought was for wine. Your not allowed to make shine legally at all unless you pay huge fees etc. to be a distillery. That being said a 20' roll of 3/8 refrigerant coil, a 5 gal. Bucket with a hole and a grommet at the bottom for the coil works great. For that the 30 qt pressure cooker from Walmart works great. Pop the the rubber grommet of the lid and the copper tube fits perfect. Pop out the weight and put in a metal thermometer and seal it up. With this set up you can make mash in 5 gallon buckets. 4" cracked corn, 5 lbs sugar and hot water to the top and throw in the yeast. You end up with about three gallons of liquid for the still which usually is good for three combined jars of old fashioned punch your brother in the eye juice.

    WTB Triclawps

    I rarely see them used. I looked before I got one. Probably needs to just bite the bullet and get a new one. Tell him to order from here and support the site.

    My First Coues Season

    Have fun man! There's few things more exhilarating then being within a few feet from deer that don't know you are there.

    Who's ready.

    Beautiful. But I remember your post. The mount doesn't do the story justice. But I guess you wouldn't want a mount covered in mud. Congrats on an awesome animal.
