Overclocked EPYC is pretty insane, shame the board trips OCP though but I’d be interested how these results will compare to the 2990X given the differences in quad and octa channel memory.

Interesting that you know about those, you done this before?

I was in a local mil-sim airsoft group doing Vietnam-era wargames. Specialist 1st class, field medic. Sadly my XM177E2 has been gathering dust for about 3 years.

Edit: Found most of my kit.

On a related note, the First Aid Kit, Individual is still fairly complete.

From 1969 or 1971, I can’t remember what year this kit was packed.

How long are they good for use?

Technically as long as it’s sealed, it’s good. Though if you’ve watched any of Steve1989’s videos on MREs…

The bandages would be fine to use still, but anything in a bottle I’d be weary about opening. I’ve got the other two accessory packs with 3x bandage wraps and tourniquets, and all that stuff would be totally okay for use today if you needed to stop massive bleeding ASAP.

When I worked at the Red Cross there were also 4-5 guys from the military who needed to drive with us for some reason (basically assisting us). They handed out some sealed pressure bandages but iirc they had date printed on them to not use after xx.xx.xxxx. We were not allowed to use them (forgot the reason why) so everyone who got one opened it just to see what they look like (instead of gathering around, open one and keep the other ones sealed for personal use).

These aren’t dated anywhere as far as I know. The bandages themselves are just cotton gauze packed in two layers of plastic essentially. Not any different from anything you get in a first aid kit at the store, just packed to stay dry.

They were actually pretty neat. Usually, when applying pressure bandages, we’d use gauze, a triangular bandage (folded) to put pressure on top of the wound and another triangular bandage to wrap around (with a knot above the location of the wound. Takes 2 people, which isn’t ideal.
Those sealed ones for the military actually had everything held in place so you just need to place it correctly, wrap the ends around the limb and put a knot on top of it. Can be done by one person, so that’s a big advantage (and necessary for the military).

I don’t believe that kind of thing was included in the field kits that far back. I need to go back and watch a bunch of the 1964-1971 training films to see how they handled compression bandaging of large wounds on the field, but I assume it involved using the 4x7 field dressing, and the larger 37x37x52 camouflaged bandage with a tourniquet for pressure. The bandage can be used as a tourniquet if one isn’t available.

I still don’t know why ambulances/EMT aren’t allowed to use those handy pressure bandages. Not even bandaides (something about ā€œif a bandaide is enough then there’s no reason for us to be thereā€). And no cleaning wounds (we were told doctors hate that cause they want to see the wound ā€œas it happenedā€, not altered).

Probably because their job is to just stabilize you until you get to a hospital but idk

Yeah, but those pressure bandages make it easier as they take less time, less material and only one person to do it. While you’re not supposed to rush things, time can be of essence.
