At the Self Reliance Expo today, I spent the day with <a href="http://doomandbloom.net/">Dr. Bones of the Doom and Bloom Show</a> and he just happened to be selling suture kits for a great price! I showed him my post on suturing a scalp and he loved it, then he agreed to let us offer all of you his suture kits for his show price of $20.00!

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.

That's all fine and good for now, but what are we going to do if we have to hunt for survival and can't just drop the animal off at the butcher? I've done it myself before and I'm sure I could do it again without any real problems, but if you're hunting for survival the last thing you want to do is ruin your meat by doing something stupid!

Locally, <a href="http://www.ksl.com" title="KSL">KSL</a> has published several articles recently about this phenomenon (see below) as has the <a href="http://online.wsj.com" title="Wall Street Journal">Wall Street Journal</a> (also below) and most prepper blogs. My family started keeping backyard chickens about four years ago and have had some good success. In this article we’ll summarize some of the benefits to raising chickens, what you’ll need to get started and some links to resources to help you out once you’ve got your flock.
