Came up with a workout for the rope rescue team yesterday.

“Grandfathers”

Metal dumb bells, deep swimmer press(supination bicep curl into a pronated shoulder press).

At lockout the bells clang, sounding like a grandfather clock.

Reps are based on time.

At 9 o’clock, 9 reps

10, 10 reps

Etc.

Military time. We did this for 8 hours. 117 reps. 30 lb dumbbells.

This is a fire in Oregon I’m working.

A ways from West Virginia :)

Long road ahead for this fire.

I thought people off road drove jeeps.

They don’t.

They drive 8 cylinder diesels with mud tires.

That’s loggers, the US Forest Service, their contractors.

Everyone who makes a living doing work outside of cell service.

We appear as we behave.

Do not pray for safety.

Pray for competence and courage

Pray for providence.

The greatest trick the devil ever played was to convince humanity that he did not exist.

You should travel 🧭 more.

On a roll right now. First fire of the day. Lesgo

The secret is instead of “entertainment”, spend your time leading skills/knowledge that both has utility and you enjoy learning about.

You could be a carpenter if you spent all the time on YouTube learning about wood.

Or a plumber,

Or a farmer

Or Electrician

Or Diesel Mechanic

Or any number of things

„Befehl ist Befehl.“

Orders are Orders.

“There has grown up in the minds of certain groups in this country the notion that because a man or corporation has made a profit out of the public for a number of years, the government and the courts are charged with the duty of guaranteeing such profit in the future, even in the face of changing circumstances and contrary to the public interest. This strange doctrine is not supported by statute or common law. Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped, or turned back.”

I am a former 2nd year Medical student. I was in school during Covid lockdowns. Everything the medical establishment tells you is a lie, not just a misunderstanding.

Opt out

The desire is to succeed where most fail, not to succeed where success is guaranteed.

Insurance doesn’t cover acts of government

Two of them aren’t.

Don’t buy things to sell them

John Hinds MD was a man beyond the common experience.

A “Flying Doctor”

All men die. Not all truly live.

“Don’t be afraid.”

Evidently, traumatic arrests aren’t guaranteed deaths, as is commonly understood in medicine.

Having physicians & paramedics together apply certain interventions immediately after the insult can take a code black pt and give them life.

Bilateral thoracotomy

RSI

Bleeding control

If these tools are applied in the field, the pt has a good chance of living without* cognitive deficits.

Amazing.

Stims and depressants have their place. Definitely interesting.
