roxybut that's just the great big fucking frustration speaking....
Let me ask you something, or, as it would sound in real life if I was talking to you, "lemmeasyoosum-in", Hunters have been hunting for some time, our particular beloved hunters have been hunting for many years...would they still be cleaning their wounds with whiskey and stitching up their booboos with dental floss and carpet needles? I mean, you can get all the real medical shit pretty cheap on the internets. You can get all kinds of emergency first aid supplies. And hell, shit tons of survivalist stuff--I bet MREs would come in handy from time to time--just the kind of shit *I'd* want if I was a hunter.
In my head (and notes) at least one of those duffel bags they shlep around with has to be a warbag, packed with stuff they really need, a hell of a lot more important shit than tube socks and boxers. Though they should always have extra tube socks because dry feet are *very* important. I just can't imagine John not having a fully tricked out kit. I can see him teaching them everything he can about down and dirty stuff for emergencies, but not having clean, efficient equipment? That stuff is as important as their guns and knives.
This is the kind of stuff I think is interesting. And here you can see how overthinky I get about stuff. *G* I mean, sure, you can't make a story out of it but isn't it cool to know?

10/27/12 04:10 pm (UTC)warbag--isn't that a great term/ I forget where I picked it up at--maybe spnweaponsbox (http://www.freewebs.com/spnweapons/index.html)?
Which means some hardcore field medicine of greatly imaginative proportions would be needed. Or, failing anything handily available, I imagine they've actually had to hold stuff closed until they could get something to rig up until they could get to their kit.
Oh yeah, they'd have to be geniuses of "make do" and I love the idea of them coming up with emergency shit MacGyver-style. As for real supplies, there's a reason why they have drop-boxes all over the country and it's not just to get Sam's mail. :)
I also get really hung up thinking about how many scars they would have
Yes, good lord, some of those scars must be frightening and there's a point at which the chicks don't dig them anymore. So to speak. Sometimes, I get a little thrown in a fic when stuff happens that's impossible to walk away from yet the writer has their character shaking the injury off like nothing. But those are mostly the very young, who go by what Show does and have never googled concussion or broken ribs or puncture wounds. They leave those kind of things to the Hurt!Sam or Hurt!Dean writers, I guess. I myself am very careful not to hurt them in ways that requires massive amounts of research. ;)
