If you don't mind me asking, what are your disabilities?

What do you enjoy?

What education do you have?

What state/general region do you live in?

If you're willing to answer some/all ofthose, I can start providing some more specific answers than you've gotten.

Biggest thing though is going to be to realize that you are likely still able to provide for yourself well, no matter who is president. And, hyperbole is not super healthy to internalize.

Get him a helmet and vest so he can get into rodeo sports.

It's configured wrong and that's bothering me...

Kilts are the answer.

I'm very close to getting one from here

It depends.

A lot of FDs run the ambulance, a lot don't.

In my area ambulance is seperate from fire, but fire crew responds to lift assists and certain other calls where we may need a driver or another set of hands for CPR. Some departments respond with a pickup/brush rig, and other respond with the full engine, just depends on manning.

St Louis City is one FD I am aware of that runs their own ambulance.

They have their place, but it's not my preference for EDC

Tailcap switch could be nice, but I haven't missed having one.

My SureFire has a tailcap switch and it would keep getting turned on in my pocket.

It's a personally owned light, not medical equipment. And, I also can use it on moonlight mode to check pupils, works better than the lights we are given.

And, why carry a big light if a small light can do the trick? I have a bigger light (noctigon K1) with a 1 mile throw, I can't lug that around in my pocket.

I mechanically lock out the light in my pocket so it doesnt accidentally get turned on. It's my choice to carry a light with those capabilities, it's also not that dangerous...

I have two D cell maglites, I give them to the kids when they need a flashlight so they dont start a fire with my light, or lose an expensive one.

Used to EDC one of those. Switched to an Emisar D4DV2, it's way better.

False

It's really nice when working ambulance and trying to work a patient at night. I'm able to illuminate the scene well enough that everyone can see.

Have also lit up yards while looking for patients/hazards.

I know reddit=evil but, r/hanklights is a good starting place for anduril lights. I've been EDCing the D4V2 for seferal years now and love it.
