#patrol log

this is about a key material to pack when on patrol. most people pack the standard stuff. water, snacks, tech, medkits, that sort of stuff. but the most important item that nobody packs is so simple it seems stupid

DUCT TAPE

the most useful things to pack. it can be used to repair gear and uniforms, make emergency patches on vehicles, so much more. and even (although i HIGHLY do not recommend) could be used to patch wounds in a pinch. hell, MythBusters did multiple episodes showing how useful that stuff is! you can find the videos on YouTube. 

a roll doesn't even cost that much. maybe 13 bucks for the good brands. if you have the space among all your other gear, TAKE A ROLL. you'll discover just how useful it is pretty quickly! i mainly use it to temporarily repair the underfunded infrastructure in my area. even if it doesn't hold, tells the local council that someone needs to deal with it.

that's all i've got. pick up a roll at your local hardware store, stuff it in your pack and get to repairing!

i need to get my game on man. i forgot to post this AND i forgot to take a photo. oh well, better than leaving this blankcrime: nothing

homeless help: nobody was there today

trash collection: got brave today and walked around in the public areas. got weird looks but people honestly couldn't care less. 

other notes: i saw two big guys, like muscles galore. they could probably easily beat me up. but because i was wearing a mask, they were scared. i am tiny man, i was more scared of them. no clue why they were scared of someone with a logo like i have

another quiet day, just how i like it. had to cut the patrol short, storm started blasting down on me. 

crime: nothing of note

homeless help: checked in on my pal, gave him some food and a bottle of water. i'll bring more supplies on friday

trash collection: little to no trash today. and that's a good thing!

other notes: storm was BAD. like, hail levels of bad. it's summer btw! i am very sure that isn't supposed to happen. anyways, everyone is safe. and i hope it stays that way.

was a quiet night tonight, not much happened. did get quite a bit of rubbish out of the area. the folks here are as friendly as ever, excepted nothing less.

crime: worst that happened is a magpie tried to steal my hair tie

homeless help: no homeless. hope they are all alright

trash collection: main goal of today, and did it well! got 12 cans, 3 paper scraps and many bottle caps. when the nuclear fallout happens, I'm rich.
