1/2 Brief: I don’t know how to introduce this, but here goes nothing. Ima use risk management as an intro.
Risk management deals in severity and probability. Medium probability and low severity might be a burn from cooking. High probability and low severity might be a cut that bleeds. These can easily be dealt with, and are of no threat to life under normal circumstances. Cardiac arrest (heart attack?) can be plotted as low probability and extreme/critical severity. This is an excellent example of something that is unlikely, extremely deadly if untreated, and yet relatively easy to learn to treat. Nowadays, in most situations, someone present will have the training to treat this (at least in my experiences in various groups and locations). Something similar to this is external massive hemorrhage (extreme bleeding from trauma). The threat: Copied directly from ChatGPT:
“Massive hemorrhage is one of the leading causes of preventable death in trauma. According to the American College of Surgeons and data from the Stop the Bleed campaign:
Approximately 30% to 40% of trauma-related deaths are due to hemorrhage.
Of these deaths, a significant proportion occur before the patient reaches a hospital.”
I don’t quite trust the numbers from ChatGPT, but they are great to use for a general understanding of the current situation.
“Massive hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death after trauma” (BMC Emergency Medical, 1)
The BMC paper continues: “Trauma is a major global public health problem. According to the World Health Organization, 5.8 million people die from trauma each year, accounting for 10% of all deaths. Trauma is also the leading cause of death for people under the age of 40 worldwide [1].”
A Google AI overview thing says that in the U.S., for trauma deaths for ages 1-46, the leading cause is massive hemorrhage.
BMC continues: “Massive hemorrhage is one of the most serious and life-threatening complications caused by trauma, and it is the main cause of preventable death in patients with trauma. About 40% of trauma deaths are attributed to massive hemorrhage [2,3,4]. Grossly visible massive hemorrhages can be treated in time by local compression, closure, and operation.”
Basically: someone starts bleeding a shit ton. Usually, we passerbys/civilians can only truly help with penetrating injuries and amputations. Think a knife accident in the kitchen, a car accident, broken glass, a limb being cut off, a gunshot wound (GSW), a small nick on a major artery, or many other things. Our victim will have maybe a few hours, or more significantly, a few minutes to live. (Some uncited numbers I’ve heard: 3-5 minutes commonly for GSW, sometimes as little as 90 seconds. If our victim has a nicked femoral artery it could be even less time)
2/2 What we can do: It is absolutely imperative that bleeding control is performed on these injuries immediately. When seconds count, PD and EMS is usually minutes away, so it is up to those nearby to help. This can be in the form of T-shirts used to pack wounds and improvised tourniquets. (Improvised tourniquets have debatable effectiveness, but I don’t know enough to understand, explain, or debate their use. My understanding is that It’s better than nothing.) For just about anyone, it is extremely easy to carry proper equipment on our body that can vastly increase the effectiveness and speed of our response to buy victims critical time until first responders arrive. Gloves, compressed packing gauze, and triangular bandages can easily be carried on a belt or in pockets. Gloves are essential to prevent transmission of diseases between you and the victim, or between multiple victims (switching gloves when switching victims). Compressed packing gauze is not used for absorbing blood, but for packing wounds and putting pressure on the bleeding vein/artery thing. Triangular bandages can be used to keep some pressure on gauze/wound, control some bleeding, and immobilize limbs or applied bandages as needed. Triangular bandages can also be used to make improvised tourniquets, using a proper stick-like item (trauma shears, large pen, spoon) as a windless(?) tightened properly, and set to the proper width to maximize pressure and minimize tearing. Also, alcohol prep pads / cleaning sanitizing wipes can be carried to quickly clean blood and debris from a wound before treating
(Vented chest seals can also be carried easily, or we can improvise one using cut ziplock bags and tape. Trauma shears might also be helpful to rapidly cut away bloodied clothing to examine and treat wounds.)
All of the previous can be carried on a belt, in pockets, or even in socks in a ziplock bag or ankle IFAK (depending on dress).
Beyond on our body, we can carry stuffs in backpacks/purses/fanney packs. This can hold extras of what is on our body, and supplemental equipment depending on what we have been trained on.
We can also carry tourniquets. Proper tourniquet usage can be used to stop all blood flow to a limb to stop a limb from bleeding all the body’s blood out. (wow epic sentence. I’m purposefully trying to make this as long as possible.) There is a chance we could cause damage to the limb, but this is a lifesaving measure. Packing gauze can be used in or near junctional sites where tourniquets cannot safely be used.
Beyond what is carried on and off body, we can stage equipment in our vehicles or workplaces. Most workplaces (at least non-trade in my area) only have a basic first aid kit (band-aids, ointments, gloves, and a few gauze pads). Cars are great. We can put a lot of stuff in cars. Extra/Remarks: In short, extreme bleeding bad, we can easily get the equipment and skills to save a life. Pray we never have to. Local stores, Amazon (certain circumstances), and stopthebleed.org sell dedicated equipment. Stop the bleed, local organizations, and some jobs and volunteer organizations provide classroom and hands on training. (I am again obliged to promote the Civil Air Patrol especially for 12-16 year olds who are’t yet independent, specifically CAP ES/Ground team, CAP Wilderness first aid, and CAP MOTS, in addition to squadron level outings and trainings. Some areas have local volunteer search and rescue teams which provide training and knowledge. Lifeguards also get some of this training in addition to most first aid and water related rescue, but idk much about them because I failed the preliminary test :D )
We can also carry narcan for overdoses, but I’m only just beginning to ask around and ”research” this topic, so I can’t confidently share anything relating to it.
Also get CPR trained and certified.

I think somewhere in the rules it said we can't make money off of exported or printed objects, so just keep that in mind. Other than that, I cannot help.
those were good decisions
If it was close and/or you could discern that rounds were coming toward you or landing close to you, you could probably make yourself known by blowing a whistle or just yelling I guess. Hunters are legally and morally obligated to identify what they are shooting at, and what is beyond it.
.
Please do not shoot back at the hunter as gemsie said. What gemsie is encouraging is an attempted manslaughter charge. Nobody wants that. Especially the hunter. They really dont want to shoot you and really dont want to be shot by you.
.
How rapid were the shots? Like a few, single, deliberate shots, or a burst?
I have a lot more to say, but this is relatively new and fluid.
Many (possibly up to 80%) reports are also turning out to be general aviation and even airline aircraft.
What I can confidently say is that drones are way more prevalent in the U.S. than most people think. “Drones” are used in search and rescue, imaging, defense ISR, hobby, agricultural, realty, research and development and training of all the previous, and way more.
It is very much a possibility that the story going viral has lead to a snowball or slippery slope (if I’m using that term right). As more people hear about the drones, more people are tuned in and are even looking for drones, noticing or reporting drones or aircraft they hadn't noticed or cared about before.
.
This is just my opinion, based on limited experiences and conversations. I’m only truly somewhat in tune with my local state, and do not have all the information, and I am probably wrong in my assumptions.
There are a lot more theories. We’ll see.
I think I ticked off shineygemsbro somehow, but thats about it
To anyone interested, I have an opening for my arch-nemesis position, please send applications to my office via my profile biography.
All names have been flagged, tagged, and bagged. Expect a preliminary report within four calendar months. Finial report should be accessible in two years.
wait, I'm confused
Are you initiating combat operations, or projecting a ready and lethal forward stance for the purposes of securing and defending your interests and/or attempting to stabilize the region?
Or are you merely watching like the rest of the shadowy observers?
The wording is very vague
