Need some advice from actual operators

A. if your boots get full of blood, how do you clean them?
I'm still on the march and after three days my boots absolutely reek, it's attracting swarms of insects and leeches and I genuinely think the smell is bad enough that it could give away my position.
part of the problem is I still have to march in them, filling them full of water would likely result in my feet swelling up and possibly trench foot. I would have no opportunity to dry them either.

B. how do you calculate the water and nutrition loss from severe diarrhea?
I know I'm loosing a lot of water, but I need to know how much because it effects the amount of water I need to carry, and that has a really big impact on my carry weight.

C. how do you get through dense bamboo?
the stuff is a motherfucker, splinters and cuts you deeply, too hard to just hack out of the way, and even if you do the "stumps" are very hard to walk over.
we tried climbing midway through them which was MUCH faster, but it was noisy as fuck and you could probably see the canopy move for miles
not just that we would get a mans pack forked between two every now and then that would take two extra men to get him unstuck.
The river bamboo is OK, it's the mid-altitude stuff that is getting us
>just avoid all bamboo
yea and we'd avoid all leeches, steep hills, and monsoons if we could too

D. is sand a contamination threat to open fleshwounds
the guys have been arguing about it, some say it's as good as a bandaid and is sterile, some guys say it's dirty as fuck.
if it were me I'd just let most things bleed, but I don't want to get an infection because I'd have to stop drinking liquor

E. can you make sedatives from alkaloid containing plants?
I am increasingly feeling the effects of chroic fatigue because I'm unable to rest at night, in transit, or a range of other situations.
we've got more opium poppies than you could poke a stick at, and a slew of jungle plants the villagers tell me are alkaloids

sorry OP here

i also need a good source of 454 brass for my converted MP5

what you don't operate?

don't judge me and my brothers based on your lack of experience civilian. You can sleep safely in your bed because men like me are fighting for your freedom
>>
>>34469434

What are you operating against? Also, couldn't you find some of your answers via a simple google search?
>>
>>34469406
what's you ROF?
kind of curious what you dialed it down to, or is the 800 the reason you need so much brass

also why would you want one?
the MP5SD6 is sexy as fuck but it's a lot of weight to carry for a .45
I thought the SBR killed all that shit

we at my company can't use google as it would give away our plans and position. You couldn't possibly understand it but were at threat condition fabric.

i operate against some of the worst scum in the largest mall in the united states. Some of the things weve seen keep me up at night.

A) get new boots, i got a blood splatter on my uniform and was told to dispose of it due to biohazard, trust me it won't come out easy, there's a reason there are specialist cleaning companies for murder houses.
I was getting weekly tetanus shots for 2 months after.

B) I can't help you, i don't think you really can, feel free to correct me docs.
Home made oral dehydration solution:
1 litre Boiled water (so you don't infect yourself more)
1 Banana to aid in absorption
8 teaspoons Salt (to replace electrolytes)
1 tablespoon Sugar (for energy)

C
you're doing everything right bamboo is just a bitch in general, i genuinely can't help you

Can't help you any more than that. Jungles suck

well google told me to put my boots in the freezer with talcom poweder or kitty litter

google tells me about alkaloids but I'm a dumbass not a scientist
I need to know how to get morphine or other useful ackaloids, the villagers grow metric tons of the stuff but are too stupid to do anything other than smoke it mixed with hemp and it makes them useless

>>34469457
you got me, I'm a fantasy operator, a bedroom warrior, an airsoft cosplayer

but seriously my boots fuking reek even in my pack in a plastic bag and I havn't slept in two days

>Jungles suck

This, all of this.
>>
>>34469463
it's good advice

I am using a paste made of 1 liter of water, two smashed bananas, 1tbst commercial electrolyte powder

but again, it's the nutrition loss that I'm worried about, last month I was on mainy rice and bananas, sometimes random meats or we could buy peanuts or moonshine sometimes
oh man, peanut and moonshine day was like christmas

maybe that is what I was expecting about the bamboo
I find cloth shin guards help a lot while still ventilating better than cargo pants, they also arn't so heavy n your legs when they are wet.

bamboo is really neat actually for storing water if you have the time because you can cache rainwater in it without leaving all your valuable containers behind.
sharp as fuck too, probably even more if you fire hardened it, I used it last week as a sewing needle

also, if you collect rainwater UNDER the canopy, what are the chances it will be contaminated by the time you collect is say 5M above the ground.
I really don't want to lay a tarp under open sky, it's basically a beacon and attempts to disguise it would I suspect be largely futile.
I have had some luck pre-rolling it and setting the ropes so I can unroll it quickly at night to get some water

also found out the hard way that no matter how much /out/ hypes the tent mosquitos bite you through it, somehow get under the net, water runs down the ropes and soaks you, or any number of other bullshits

also, you might get some keks out of this
how do you dig a latrine hole in the rain, without the hole getting full of rain water and washing shit everywhere.
bonus points if you can dig it in 7 seconds when you have the runs

I just left the jungle, so I just have the runs and the reeking boots now

i'm a no guns fag but i'm a bio student so i can answer some of your Qs
B. You lose basically no calories from having diarrhea
basically no kcal because at most you'd lose the kcal from fiber being broken down by your gut fauna because that takes more time than what your body needs to just absorb all the kcal your digestive system brakes down
D. no you stupid fucking faggots
it's not an antiseptic, it literally has bacteria inside it
it will also irritate the wound causing it to stay open longer
E. don't play around with opium
period
you can literally die
as a rule of thumb do not poke plants you have no experience with
ask a fucking botanist or someshit

i forgot to mention someshit
B.You can't just calculate how much water you lose when you have diarrhea because it's dependent on lots of shit
just drink when you're thirsty
if your piss is really dark yellow and reeks like ammonia drink more
Also do not just drink salt you absolute retards
when doctors say you lose salts when you have the runny shits they mean salts as in the group of compounds known as salts
not table salt
i assume that the military just gives you packets of electrolytes or whatever the fuck

I'm saying that it is literally retarded to eat only sodium chloride when you lose all the salts your body requires to function
by just eating salt you then don't have enough of all the other salts and shit you need
I'm pretty sure they just have some powder/supplement that has salts minerals and whatever else they need
eating only sodium chloride will probably result in him ingesting too much of it and not enough of everything else

Baking soda generally solves all boot odor problems in minutes.

I'm not so sure about boot leeches.
