  • I will say, I work ambulance for a very right wing rural community. I have done this for a number of years now.

    While I do have issues at times with our local LEO, they do a good job with not shooting my patients, or their dogs.

    They have done a good job in my community with securing the scene without escalating and then standing back and let us deal with medical/mental health crisis.

    These stories do happen to often, and there are policy changes that need to happen, but there are a significant number of communities that have law enforcement who are acting appropriately and therefore get no news coverage.


  • Yeah, being a first responder really changed my perspective on a lot of “safe” areas" and how far help is.

    When you have one lone deputy in your entire county for a good portion of the night (and frequently only 2-3 cars during the day), and state is just on call, not patrolling… you can easily be 45 minutes out from LEO, that’s been a very long wait before…




  • It all depends on what you are looking for.

    Anker is the only brand I use anymore for chargers and cords.

    I’m fairly hard on clothes, I expect most things to wear out. Carhartt pants stay intact long enough to be acceptable to me. I’m trying to lose weight cause pants last longer for me when my thighs aren’t rubbing together. Carhartt coats are good. Socks, I get a big pack from walmart, I think I bought their third cheapest option and they’ve been going good for twoish years. I wear boots out in about a year.

    Stihl small engines with ethanol free gas.

    I currently drive and old Jeep with 260k miles, and have a 20 year old chevy tahoe with 320k miles. Find vehicles that have been taken care of and continue to take care of them.

    I got a heck of a deal on a GoRuck bag and I’ve been very pleased.

    If you can be more specific with what you are looking for, I can try to help more.
