Auto First Aid Kits

I would like to get an EpiPen (epinephrin auto-injector) for my first aid kit but I don't have a prescription. I am only interested in legal ways of getting one. Perhaps someone knows of a company in another country that doesn't require a prescription and that ships to the United States.

I want one because I have never been stung by a bee and I don't want to find out that I'm allergic while I'm camping in the middle of nowhere. It also seems to be a good thing to keep around in case someone unknowingly eats shellfish, peanuts, etc. and doesn't have their own EpiPen with them.

Or, would it be possible for me to get a prescription because my father is allergic to bees?

Thanks for any help.

Hey hun,

Unfortunately, even if you purchase the Epi-Pen through another country, having it in the US without a prescription still makes it illegal. Best thing to do is have allergy tests done at your doctor's office and to put Benadryl in your First Aid Kit for allergic reactions.

If someone you are with has a severe allergy, they should be reminded to bring along their EpiPen. And, also remember that if they do use their EpiPen, it doesn't replace the need to go to the Emergency Room.

"EpiPen is manufactured by DEY L.P. EpiPens are commonly carried by persons with severe allergies and a risk of anaphylactic shock because they can be self-administered and are very fast-acting. In the UK and US, EpiPens are regulated medical devices and require a medical prescription. In Canada, EpiPens may be purchased without a prescription, but they are kept behind pharmacy counters."

"Q: Do I need a prescription to buy EpiPen/EpiPen Jr.?

A: No. EpiPen/EpiPen Jr. is available for purchase without a prescription in Canada. However, it is kept behind the pharmacy counter and a prescription may be required in order to receive reimbursement from certain insurance providers."

Hey guys! Baxstar here with my first installment of the "Specialist" reviews. The First aid kits and the Auto Turrets are probably on my ...

My daughter's class is putting a shoebox of stuff together, then will raffle it off. Maybe it will inspire others to do the same, given the recent stranded folks. Hoping the Dad is found soon. Anyway, can you think of any other items that may be included or did we cover it? Thanks!

Instead of a flashlight with batteries, one of those shake-up flashlights would be better since batteries tend to run out faster when it's cold.

Be prepared on the road

I would pack, a crossbow(5 arrows),a 9mm pistol(500 rounds), a semi-auto rifle(500 rounds), first aid kit, lock cutters, a sleeping bag, a sword,a compass, a map,a water purifying pump, binoculars, extra clothing,a hunting knife, and a fire starting kit along with a whole bunch of food and water in the back of my truck. And I would leave the city.

I would get a truck (my minivan won't do), preferable something a redneck would drive, they like big trucks with big tires and lots of lift. they usually have a gun rack on the back too. Me being in Southern California knows there are more hippies than rednecks, finding a redneck's truck isn't gonna be easy. I'm also not a redneck so I don't know any rednecks that I can borrow a truck from. I wish I was a redneck, my parents frown upon this kind of thing.

I'll do some modifications to the truck. steel bumper/crash thingy to prevent damage when I ram stuff, steel shutters for the front windows, burglar proofing laminate for the side and back windows. big hi performance lights. powerful winch. a portable generator in the bed, four 5 gallon Jerry cans, and extra 100 gallon gas tank. A toolbox with all the tools for the truck and then some, a handy tarp to cover the bed.

I take all my guns with me. probably grab a glock 17 and 34 and some very concealable pistols at the local semi-gunstore (I have no chance looting a real gunstore- i'll be shot dead before i get thru the door). If i find a semiauto rifle that I like I might take that too.
reloading equipment, portable bench, powders and primers, blue book of gun values (handy for trading), bullets.
in the cab of my big redneck truck I put 4 cases of 9mm (1380 rounds to the case) behind the seat, 5 tins of 7.62x25mm, 6 tins of 7.62x54r, two ammo cans of 7.62x39mm (540 rounds to a case), a box of cricket bombs (real handy if I get into an ambush), box of spare magazines for my pistols, and rifles.
in the console I put my .22lr revolver (9shot) and a brick of .22lr, and the flare pistol I would modify to shoot cricket bombs. that uses 12 ga blanks. in the cup holder I have a bottle of water and my trusty lighter. cricket bombs don't do anything if the fuse ain't lit. maybe a pack of Marlboro 100s Menthol cigarettes. on the passenger seat I place my shortened AKM (that means buttstock removed, magazine lock removed) inserted with a 75 rd magazine and several 40rd magazines lying nearby. I have my ear muffs there too. on the floor a case or two cases of water, Crystal Geyser brand. glove box I'd leave my ID and a few rolls of silver dimes, quarters, some 1/10th oz gold coins. on the dash I have a Garmin GPS. Some screwing around with the truck I make a switch to pwoer the aux lights, and a switch to turn off all lights, for the blackout mode of driving. a final switch lights hte IR lamps, combined with a video camera should give me some NV ability in blackout mode.

in the truck bed I'd put in a gun safe, the door side up, bottom bolted or welded to the truck. inside I'd stash the other rifles and pistols and shotguns. the top of the truck I weld on a MG mount. Its a simple 360 degree swivel mount wit ha bit of 1/2" steel plate for some ballistic protection and a place to plop the bipod on. I found a PKMS (CA legal) in one of the local gun stores, I'd place that with two 200 rd belts in a watertight box nearby. you never know if you need that much firepower.

4 cases of new MREs, 5 cases of LTS foods. that's alot of food. two 15 gallon water tanks. water filter, purifier, UV water purifier light, camping stuff, some more ammo, toiletries, and whatever else I can fit. I worked two years as a supermarket bagger, I'm a very efficient packer. I wouldn't be surprised all that only fills 2/3s of the bed.

I'd bring a friend along, in case we run into trouble someone has to man that PKMS semiautomatic rifle.

the person riding shotgun will be armed with that shortened AKM "rifle". My friend can pick whatever sidearm he likes. I carry a 450 lumen flashlight, car keys (he has a set too), tactical magazine holder, and my trusty Hi Point C9 in a side holder.

we would leave the city, but first we'd have to get thru it first. I live in the suburbs, south of hte city. I want to go north, so I must enter the city before leaving it. We'll also have the opportunity to get more stuff and a U-haul or something to carry more loot. maybe invite another person to join us.

everything that doesn't fit or can't be taken from my house will be placed in a secure location and sealed. whatever that isn't saved will probably be looted or destroyed, so anything of value, whether actual or sentimental would be securely locked up and hidden.


so to summarize my armament:
Hi Point C9 9mm pistol (carry sidearm)
WASR-10 AKM (shortened)- in car primary
PKMS rifle, crew-served-weapon
12 ga flare gun, improved grenade launcher
custom Ruger 10/22 bullpup w/ LE suppressor - tactical primary arm (the AKM is very short range only)

I'm going on a road trip to Yellowstone Nat'l Park in two months. It's the longest road trip I've taken as an adult, at around 800 or so miles each way. I tend to over plan trips -I'd rather be over prepared, but space and weight will be a factor on this trip. What emergency supplies (Auto/First Aid/Other) would you bring on a trip like this? There will be two people, myself and my wife. I currently have 3 first aid kits in my car and I think that one should be sufficient if done properly.

Thank you in advance for your answers. :)

One thing I want to mention is that Yellowstone can get very cold at night. We went on 4th of July one year, and there was ice on our window the next morning. We heard they were predicting it on the radio, but we thought it was joke lol. Must be the altitude that causes it. It was still warm during the day.

Once spring semester is over, my girlfriend and I, as well as my best friend from college are planning on taking a massive road trip across the USA. The sense of freedom and adventure awaits me. As far as logistics go, we are all nineteen and twenty years old and have 10 thousand dollars to spend on the trip between us.

We plan on packing up my 88' Jeep Wrangler and hitting the road starting from Dallas, Tx. We will pack the following:
-Hiking gear and camping equipment
-3 bicycles on a bikerack
-1 Backpack each full of clothes and personal hygiene stuff
-Laptop, camera, cellphones, spare tire, first aid kit, auto repair kit
-Some sick music to play on the road
-We plan on buying food from farmers markets and stopping to eat at hole in the wall restaurants. We want to avoid places like McDonalds and want to eat at local favorites.

So Yahoo answers, what else should we pack? More importantly what places should we go visit? We have all the time in the world and no plans, so we will go with the flow.

No itinerary, hit the road and let the journey unfold as you go. Leave your watch at home, forget about time, forget about destinations, just go.
