Be Prepared to Face Any Medical Emergency With This Essential Guide While many first aid manuals provide valuable instructions on how to respond to various medical situations, they may not meet the needs of the average citizen preparing to meet a broad range of medical emergencies, with limited skills, limited supplies, and limited or non-existent support from the Emergency Management System and medical professionals. In this color-photo illustrated manual, veteran survivalist and trained EMT James C. Jones did not create "just another" first aid book. Instead, each subject is approached from the perspective of equipping the untrained citizen to provide care for family members and neighbors, under extremely trying conditions, without expert help. Prepper's Medical Manual includes basic first aid subjects, such as bandaging, splinting, control of bleeding, and treatment of shock, along with those subjects specifically associated with the needs of those responding to true disaster emergencies. Complete with multiple step-by-step response guides and checklists for stocking personal medical emergency kits, Prepper's Medical Manual can ensure readiness for even the worst-case scenario.

Now preppers can be ready for any possible emergency as James C. Jones shares his fifty years of experience as an advocate for survival, preparedness, and self-reliance. In Total Survival, veteran survivalist James C. Jones delivers tips that cover the most likely needs of readers and for which there is useful and practical instruction. His goal is to share a variety of practical survival skills, principles, and ideas in an easy-to read format that will aid the reader in becoming stronger, safer, and more self-reliant. The ten principles of survival that Jones sets out are derived from analysis of true survival accounts. Studies of why some people survived fires, plane crashes, assaults, and other deadly situations while others in the same situations perished confirm that these principles made the difference. His table of contents includes: 1: Ten Principles of Survival (including Anticipate and Stay Calm) 2: Ten Disasters to Prepare For (including Home Fire While Asleep and Home Invasion by Intruder). 3: Ten Items for the Prepared Home (including Emergency Plans and Packs) 4: Ten Items You Should Always Carry (including a Miniature LED flashlight and a Whistle) 5: Ten Things You Should Have in Your Survival Pack(s) (including Water and Weapons) 6: Ten Ways to Avoid and Survive Street Crime (including Carjacking and Active Shooter) 7: Ten Self-Defense Moves You Should Know (including Front Choke Counter and Handgun Defenses) 8: Ten Medical Skills You Should Know (including Cardiac Arrest and Shock) 9: Ten Ways to Gather and Purify Water (including Boiling Water and Distillation) 10: Ten Ways to Gather and Store Food (including Foraging and Trapping) 11: Ten Ways to Start and Maintain a Fire (including Fire by Flit and Steel and Fire by Solar Heat 12: Ten Shelters You Should Know How to Build (including Fallout Shelters and Snow Shelters) 13: Terrorism Although the data and concepts in Total Survival are derived from accounts of acute disasters-such as tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, and epidemics-they apply equally well to chronic disasters, such as economic decline, shortages, unemployment, climate change, and personal family or health issues. In reality, all of life is a survival challenge, and a survival emergency is just a high-intensity life test. These ten survival principles are the key to success in everyday life, especially during an emergency.

As the world's leading space power, the United States has enjoyed unchallenged exploitation of the ultimate high-ground. Its civil, commercial and military space programs have led to improvements in its military and economic power as well as safety and security in the daily lives of its people. As the United States becomes more dependent on its space assets, it is creating its own vulnerability. To maintain its place as the leading space power, the United States must constantly be aware of the situation in space in much the same manner as any terrestrial or aeronautical battlefield. This "space situational awareness" includes all human activities in space as well as the natural environment. The United States has a fairly robust architecture to monitor human activities in space; however, the capability to fully monitor and exploit the natural environment is deficient leaving combatant commanders with an incomplete picture of the entire battlespace. The current sensing capability is limited due to the limited number of orbits in which the sensors fly and the limited number of observations in those orbits. The future capability of space weather sensing appears to be in decline due to the merging of military and civil programs and lack of additional planned sensing programs. The United States must improve its situational awareness of the near-Earth natural environment by expanding its access to additional space environmental data. With some foresight, the DOD as lead agency for space situational awareness can take advantage of existing or future programs to improve its capability. Potential solutions include: additional sensors on military and civil spacecraft, designing a constellation of microsatellites, or leveraging commercial solutions. Following through on some or all of these recommendations will greatly enhance the DOD's ability to have complete situational awareness of the battlefield in space.
