Suturing a scalp
<a href="/images/uploads/2011/10/IMG_1125.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3974" title="IMG_1125" src="/images/uploads/2011/10/IMG_1125-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a>Suturing is an important skill to have. Knowing how to properly sew somebody shut isn't something you need every day, but when you need it - you need it! Sure, right now we can just run to the doctor, but what if you're way in the outback or things have collapsed and good medical care isn't easily available. Suturing allows you to quickly close up a wound to help stop bleeding, help prevent infection and to lower the risk of damaging a wound while trying to get to better care - if needed. There are plenty of ways and places to get training in suturing without going through medical school. It's easy to do once you learn, you just need to look around and find a class you can take.

Saved by Preps - Flat Tire
<img class="alignright" src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcThZWZoz2GsD8ftz0ptLklG7kNBoeWwKY74FQcbe70VpsEXX1iYLBN_6uK6Hg" alt="" width="170" height="150" />Yesterday I was driving in my truck to pick up my son from school. I heard a strange noise outside the truck and rolled down the window to investigate. I could hear a hissing that rhythmically got quiet as I drove - then I realized, my left rear tire was punctured and deflating FAST! I pulled over to the shoulder as far as I could and got out to investigate. Sure enough, there was what looked like a nail hole right through my nice new tire.

Getting the Blues - Dealing with Corrosion
Gun ownership is a long-term investment which requires proper maintenance and cleaning in order to keep your guns working at their peak performance. A primary concern with long term storage of any gun — especially those stored in humid climates — is corrosion. Preventing corrosion is a multi-step process, starting with proper care of your firearm in the field, and followed with proper storage. However, even if you take all the necessary precautions and care possible with your firearm, and even in the best of situations, if you use it corrosion or wearing will probably happen. How you deal with the results of such wear is the purpose of this article.<!--more-->

Goal0 Sherpa Kit
Recently, Mike published an article introducing a local company named <a href="http://www.goal0.com" target="_blank">Goal0</a> (<a title="Introducing Goal 0 solar power products" href="http://www.utahpreppers.com/2011/03/introducing-goal-0-solar-power-products/" target="_blank">article link</a>). They develop solar products to fit a wider variety of needs than your average solar pack, and so we were very intrigued as to their application to a prepper mindset.

Introducing Goal 0 solar power products
<a href="/images/uploads/2011/03/Goal0.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3623" title="Goal0" src="/images/uploads/2011/03/Goal0.jpg" alt="" width="215" height="50" /></a><br /> Here at UtahPreppers we try to keep an eye on prepping topics, trends and products from all over the country and often the world. Even though we try to keep a global focus we still like finding and supporting local businesses that fit into the prepping niche. We recently met up with a Bluffdale company to take a look at some of their innovative solar products.

Starting a Fire with Steel Wool
<a href="/images/uploads/2011/02/fire.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3453" title="fire" src="/images/uploads/2011/02/fire-202x300.jpg" alt="" width="202" height="300" /></a>Continuing my<em><strong> Heat and Light Series</strong></em>, today we're going to look at an alternative way to start a fire - with Steel Wool and Batteries. Like I've said in previous posts in this series, this is probably something that every old Boy Scout and every long time Prepper already knows. The point of this series is to get back to basics and cover things that new Preppers will need to get up to speed on - and to remind some of you about the skills and knowledge you have that you may have forgotten. :)<!--more-->

Bouncing The Bugs Away
In a group camping situation, I'm "That Guy". You know, the one everybody is thankful is around because all the bugs seem to be biting him. For some reason I tend to get singled out for the airborne attack, and with my allergic nature, I tend to get largest bumps you've ever seen. So I'm always on the lookout for something to improve my chances in the wild, battling the vampiric forces of the bugs.
