How Long Does It Take to Grill Baked Potatoes

What Do You Put In A Wilderness First Aid Kit

As I enjoy backpacking and hiking, a wilderness first aid kit is a must for me. After looking through the commercial offerings, I realized they were selling largely cheap junk that I could put together for less money. Not only was it less, but it’s a lot easier to replace pieces of this home made kit than it is for the shrink-wrapped kits, which often are designed to carry single serving items that are hard to find for sale individually.

I start with a 1 gallon zip lock freezer bag. I use freezer bags because they are thicker and have been more durable in my experience. I then use several 1 quart zip lock freezer bags to keep different “sections” of the kit separate, and store them all in the 1 gallon.

I have bags labeled as follows:
1) Blisters and Trauma
2) Open Wound Treatment and Topical Medications
3) Oral Medication

In the first bag, I place adhesive bandages, gauze pads, athletic tape, moleskin, benzoin tincture, scissors, latex gloves, ace bandage, instant cold packs, instant heat pack, trash bags, extra zip lock bags, signal mirror, matches/lighter/firestarter, a first aid book specific to a wilderness setting, If the items you have available prove too bulky for a single bag, just spread the items across two bags.

In the second bag, I place anti-septic wipes, anti-biotic ointment, gauze, athletic tape, tweezers, adhesive bandages, rolled gauze, water treatment tablets, and suture/butterfly bandages, hydro cortisone cream, sunscreen, insect repellent, aloe vera gel, and insect repellent.

In the third bag, I place aspirin, Tylenol, ibuprofen, benedryl, antacids, anti-diarrhea medicine, and salt tablets. I also add any prescription medicine I or a traveling companion might need. This is in addition to whatever is packed for the trip, as an emergency back up to the primary.

This is the basics that I build around. I will add things as the environment I will be in may require. For example, I will add snake bite kits if I will be traveling in snake country, extra insect repellent if the area is known to have exceptional amounts of insects/mosquitoes, etc…

The best First Aid is to not get hurt. Plan your trip carefully, do not undertake trips which you are not certain you are healthy enough to endure, always take the time to obtain a map and plot your trip on the map in advance, and always pack extra food and water when going to an area you’ve never been to before.

Who Discovered Silver

Silver has been used since ancient times and as such, the individual responsible for discovering it has been lost to antiquity. Silver was mentioned in the book of Genesis of the bible(Genesis 13:2 is the first occurrence). Archeologically, evidence of silver refining and surface mining date back to the 4th Millennium BC in Asia Minor and some islands of the Aegean Sea where large slag deposits indicate the separation of silver from lead in that era.

How Long Do I Grill a Ribeye Steak?

There aren’t really procedural instructions when it comes to grilling a ribeye steak. One of the problems is the grills used vary from charcoal, to gas, to even electric and they all have different cooking characteristics. Even two different grills of the same type can cook differently. And that’s just the grills.

Then there is the ribeye selection. A poor, low quality ribeye steak can never be as good as a high quality ribeye, and selecting a good quality steak itself requires practice and trial and error.

The best thing to do is check out some sites that specialize in cooking. Two articles that have helped me improve my steak grilling skills are:

Q. What Happens When Batteries Leak?

A battery leaks when the electrolyte solution of a battery either corrodes the seals due to age, or bursts the seals due to heat expansion.

The gunk you see left over when an alkaline battery leaks is a combination of the alkaline electrolyte in the battery and whatever substance it corroded.

Q.What Are Political Earmarks?

The Congressional Research Service, the public policy research arm of the U.S. Congress, defines them as:
“Provisions associated with legislation(appropriations or general legislation) that specify certain congressional spending priorities or in revenue bills that apply to a very limited number of individuals or entities. Earmarks may appear in either the legislative text or report language(committee reports accompanying reported bills and joint explanatory statement accompanying a conference report).”

For example, say you have a bill that would develop high speed rail around the country for 1 billion(round number) to be administered by the department of transportation. The usual allocation of the funds would go through an application process administered by the executive branch. But say a senator puts an earmark in that 1 billion, that 100 million of it is for their state or awarded to a specific person/persons in particular. That means if the bill passes, 1/10th of that budget will go to that state or person/persons and only the remainder will be subject to the usual process. That’s an earmark.
