[Ansteorra] PENNSIC NEWS BLACKOUT

[Jay Yeates]

most EMT's i know (3) carry those nice folding emergency knives with the
webbing cutters built in (fast way out of jammed seat belts or clothing) ..
and they work *great* on duct tape (personal experience from hanging and
sealing HVAC ducting) ... though my personal fave is a large serrated
hawkbill style (works well one-handed on ropes and cordage)

And what is the first thing most EMTs try to do when treating an injury?
Take out a scissors and cut the clothes off!  I forsee lots of dull scissors
and some scratched armor......
