Made My Own Grenade
« on: March 09, 2015, 05:20:57 PM »
Survival type, not boom type.  Google "survival grenade" for comparison.

What is good in it, bad?  Missing? Extra and need to delete, add more.  This is the always handy type thing.

I have the bottle near full. There is a bit of room left for a couple short straws with my necessary prescription meds. Look at the pics and comments requested please.

Contents:

Top, the script bottle for it all to fit in, bout 1.25 x 2.75
Left Side, 3 full size band aids and 3 safety pins.
Left Center, 2 water purification tablets, a sealed straw with a good squeeze of generic antibacterial first aid ointment and a cotton wad, 2 sealed straws full of basic white sugar (the big straws) and one with 2 packs of salt/pepper things from fast food place

Right center. a P 38 can opener and single edge razor blade, taped to stay in wrapper

Right side 2 big straws each holding a coffee filter for your basic coffee maker, 3 straws with vaseline cotton for fire starting, a ferrocerium rod (handle pulled off to fit in bottle) and a spark stick magnesium scraper/strike steel.

Band aids go in first and wrap right against the bottle. The straws go in the center and the water tablets, spark stick, scraper, p38 and razor blade get tucked into the outsides between the bottle and band aids. Primarily to protect the straws from any potential sharp edges or wear spots.

There will be a bit of room on the top after the pill straws go in to keep a couple 6-9 inch short piece of cord. I will do a bit of gorilla tape on the outside, with a wrap of foil if they do not make it too big around. And then the cordage wrap.

This is actually getting to be a rather fun exercise thinking and figuring out what would be good to have, with dayum little else for 2-3 days. As far as fishing stuff I have one of those $9 things with all that from somewhere out here cyberwise. The straws are labeled with a Sharpie marker and near impossible to get off once it has dried.

Google "survival grenade".  You're going to find about 87gazillion replies on that specifically.  It is not at all unusual.  GO look.

Now answer my questions up there JM.

No Coffeemate creamer  :o

Just kidding.... ;D

The only things I'd suggest would be some type of generic pain killer (asprin/tylenol) and to add a straw with some type of "burn" treatment/salve. Might wind a couple of loops of duct tape around that bottle.

Another idea, instead of paracord, use a long length of bank line. It's thinner and you'll get more in your bottle. Use the longest length you can get in there. You can always cut off what you need if a short piece is needed, but it'll be hell trying to tie a bunch of knots with short pieces if you need a long length.

Those things are planned with the final wrap up, along with scripts.  But I had not thought of the "burn" salve.  Will see if that can go.

I am not familiar with cordage by that name.  More details, link, or some such info please.

I will presume you are not talking about the waiting manner of sheeple in the building where they pay other people to hold their money.

Lip balm can be used as burn salve. Double use  ;)

bank line

http://www.amazon.com/SGT-KNOTS-Tarred-Twine-Bank/dp/B00EVX5OLC

An interwebz search will reveal ALL you need to know about it.


As far as burns, I prefer the gels because it has cooling effect, most have something for easing topical pain like Benzocaine and since burns are painful to the touch, gels flow without touching or rubbing the burned area. On second/third degree the skin is broken or blisters may bust, then infection is another problem. Colloidal Silver is good. On the cheap, use honey. Bacteria can't grow in it.

On a side note, since you take meds, talk with your doctor about Silvadene cream. He would have to script it, but you said he know's what you're preparing for. It's a sulfa drug, but is widely used for burn treatment. Good to have if you ain't allergic to the sulfas.

Coffee filter would be great for initial water filter.  Get the lumps and mostly visible live things out of it, mostly.
