 Well, good morning. It is day whatever at the RTR, very official, over here, keeping track of dates. All the little trash stuff from the install I'm taking in town, since I'm also one of the main reasons to go to town is running out of socks. And I can't upload my video out here for some reason, so I need to get that up. And I have like three or four more to get up. Stop by the grocery store, you know, do some laundry since I'm out there. All that fun stuff. I'm in business and I met this nice Canadian A named Badge. So thanks for offering to help me fix some mechanical stuff. Yeah, Badge, by the way, is a mechanic and we might be hanging out after the RTR and he's just parked down the road. We're over here at the laundromat, by the way, and comes up and, you know, says hello and everything. Just the meeting point. Yeah, exactly. The no-mad meeting point. Exactly, the laundromat. So thanks, man. Honestly, really appreciate it. And yeah, hope to come by and hang out and fix some stuff. Over the down road there at the Bob Wells' camp down there. Alright. Three miles down. Oh, by the way, I did a bunch of shopping. I got some cool stuff and instead of tortilla chips, I got myself some tostada things. You know what I'm talking about, to make a tostada. Kind of excited about that. And I got a bunch of pasta. I figured that would be a nice, cheap, hearty meal. And got more polska, kielbasa, turkey, low fat, you know, then chicken sausage. So, you know, I'm trying to slim up. Summer's just around the corner. I don't know who's the last man, the last bus standing over there. The Skoolie Squad. So, Skoolie Squad. You're the Jeep Squad. Like, Pearl's still here. So, we're gonna make some breakfast potatoes. And it's about four o'clock. And greeted by so many friendly people coming by and saying hi. So, thank you. You know who you are. Alright, a few of you guys have been asking me to teach you how to make my breakfast potatoes. Or just food in general. So, I'll teach you right now. Alright, cook your red potatoes. I'm boiling them. I suppose you could also microwave them. First, saute your onions in olive oil. Alright, so once you got it cooked potatoes, then you put the whole entire potatoes in here. And then I just kind of mashed them up like this and made them all homestyle looking. Next step is to use some Creole seasoning. This one is my favorite one. And just gonna put a liberal amount on there. Just gonna... There we go. Bam! Like emerald. Alright, there we go. Dinner is served. Or... Lunch. I don't know. What do you call like a dinner slash breakfast? We got brunch for breakfast lunch. Dunch? Is that a word? Alright, this is what you got when you're done. Delicious potatoes. And we're gonna do some eggs. Gonna cook up some of those five dozen. Dave, do you like it? Yeah. Yeah, okay. He likes it apparently better than Claire Bear. Guys, check out this awesome sunset going on right here. Also, I ate about an hour and 45 minutes ago. I'm cooking sausages. But I wanna stop by and introduce you guys to NomadNurseAdvice.com Yes, I got it right. Yeah. And this is Bill. So, let's ask Bill if we could get some off-grid first aid or, you know, like if something, you know, if you break something, like say an ankle or God forbid something happens to you and you're all alone, how do you get help? Best thing to do. If your cell phone's not working, start screaming. Find somebody to help you. There's not much else to be done if you're broken a bone or something like that. You gotta get help and get somebody to help you with it because you can't walk. Unless you're on a motorized vehicle and you ride or something like that to get out. A big concern for me here in the desert though is hydration. One thing that people need to watch out for is the desert is very dry. You're not used to being here. Even in the winter it's dry. And the best way to tell whether you're hydrated or not is look at your urine. If it's lemonade color, you're fine. If it's not, start drinking more water. If it turns orange, two liters of water right away before you develop something called rhabdomyoelosis. It's your muscle fibers starting to break down and they'll kill your kidneys. Wow. So you increase rental failure and if you don't get it fixed fast enough you'll go on dialysis. That sounds pretty serious. It is very serious. We see a lot of with the illegal immigrants coming across the border. I'm an ER nurse in the state. And we see a lot of with those guys because they run out of water. They're still out there for days at a time and they end up in the hospital and we pay for it. Yeah. That sounds pretty serious. What other, say, what are some first aid essentials to bring with you if you're camping or if you're boondocking or something like that? I'm developing a nomads medicine chest for you. It'll be on my website, nursingvice.com. Basically Tylenol, ayurprofen, NSAIDs of naproxen. That's the third one I was trying to think of. Some benadryl or something like that, different hydramid. I got a bunch of things. I went over to Dollar Trade and Light today and picked up $11 worth of stuff for a dollar a box. And it's, we talked about more at the RTR's class and it'll also be on my website showing which ones to use, when to use them and how to use them. So $11 bucks could save your life? Yep. Save you from being in misery with a cold symptom or something like that. Speaking of colds, don't cough in your hands. Don't sneeze in your hands. Use your elbow. You never know where your hand's going to go next. It might go to your eye and then you end up with an eye infection. Back to your nose, back to your mouth. Just spread the infection back into somebody else. Always use your elbows and stuff like that. Don't sniffle. It's better to softly blow your nose and get rid of that stuff that's up there instead of letting it sit up there and get worse. Interesting. How long have you been a nurse? 27 years. 27 years. 15 years in the emergency departments. Wow, you've seen a lot. Yep. And I've worked in prison and I've worked in jails. Wow. So all around the place. Interesting. Minnesota, Florida, California, Arizona, Texas. Interesting. Anything I didn't cover? Maybe something that you're covering tomorrow that you didn't mention? No, those are the big things right there. The hydration is a big thing I hear in the desert. I've seen too many people even... If you work out a lot, watch your hydration because you're just asking for trouble if you're not taking care of yourself. Out here in the desert, it's very easy to dehydrate very quickly. How much water per day would you suggest? I hate to say that because there is no way to measure the amount of water that's in the food that you consume. Say you ate a lot of pineapple one day, you're going to get a fruit citrus or those kinds of fruits and vegetables, you're going to get a lot more water than you would if you spent all day eating meat products or jerky, those kinds of things. Alcohol, caffeine, do not count. They don't count as your water supply. They're both diuretics and they can dehydrate you. The current recommendation last time I saw was four liters for men, three liters for women. But again, that's a variable because of the amount of fluid in your diet. And what kind of foods you're eating too? Yep. Well, thank you so much for the information. You might keep me alive one day. Doubt it. One more year and I'm retiring. Best way if someone wants to contact you for some advice? Best way to contact me is onenomadnurse at gmail.com. Awesome. And that's open to everyone who needs any advice? Anybody, everybody, it's a free service. I'm going to help you anybody I can, but it has to be through email liability if she's coming to question. If I don't have some way to back up what I've told you. Gotcha. You're a good man. Thank you for that. Thank you. Well, on that note, I need to start drinking my water because I drank a little bit this morning. I think I had a little bit of tea. But I'm nowhere near even half a gallon. So I'm going to try and drink as much water as possible. And yeah, I don't want to get renal failure. Please. Or kidney stones.
