Being prepared

BE PREPARED;
With the terrorist attacks in Boston today, 04-15-2013, this is a great time and a sad time as well to remind everyone. If you are going to a public event please do the following.  
Keep your eyes and ears open. If someone or something looks suspicious, photograph it, him, her, with your cell phone, back away and call 911.
Always let someone know where you are going.  

Make sure you carry a small day pack with some basics to survive such a horrible event as todays bombing in Boston.  

A small first aid kit containing first aid gloves, 10 4x4 gauze pads, three triangular bandages, first aid tape, pencil, note pad, space blanket, asprin, water, pocket knife (I recommend a multitool knife). Flashlight, (I recommend a headlamp) and small amount of food. (I carry a package of beef jerkey).  

In the event you are stranded from a terrorist attack, or natural disaster, you at least have some basics to survive on.  

And, if you are a victim of a terrorist attack or run into a victim, then you have a first aid kit that can help make the difference. BE PREPARED.

Whether it's a christmas tree lighting in Portland, Ore. A marathon in Boston, goind to work in downtown Manhattan at the Twin Towers, or resting on a sleepy calm beach in Thailand, disaster can strike. Are you prepared?
