Incidents in which tools have been useful to me personally: Traffic accidents (I've responded to about 20-25 in the past decade outside warzones, and probably seriously improved victim outcomes in a few, the last being 2 weeks ago); loud noises at night (ranging from two being shot and bleeding out in front of the loft in the tenderloin, to raccoons in trash cans, to everything in between), power failures sometimes incident to hurricanes, sandstorms, ..., all sorts of fun in warzones (mortars, people dropping cargo containers on top of other people by accident, porta-potties upended by high winds with person inside (!!!), street altercations (kid with knife, feral dogs, drunks, drug dealers on my front step blocking the entrance, ...), etc.
Plus the thousands of cardboard boxes, envelopes, plastic clamshells, bottles, cans, etc. which have fallen before me.
Okay - street altercations I know too much about - so a torch and a what? The challenge to me seems always to avoid it without escalating, so I don't think whipping out my box-cutter would be too advisable! Is there a procedure?
