From a survival standpoint, how could this have (how does it) effected me?
Simply put, I couldn’t lift a spare AR magazine, a quart bottle of water, pretty much anything for a while.
Had SHTF while I was down, what would I have needed to have, both equipment wise and knowledge wise to get through this?
So now I have a bunch of videos downloaded and printed out, not just for the shoulder and the appropriate gear to work through issues when they come up again.
But it made me look hard at what I was going to do, “tool” wise. How do you do what you need to do with only one arm?
And not just splitting wood, or starting the chainsaw, but tying the laces of your boots. Getting dressed. Doing the dishes.
Suddenly all those little things in life, become a challenge or an issue.
How do you treat them and work around them?
For me, some things are becoming more ambidextrous and definitely lighter. Easier to work with one handed.
