Best lab, safety & work gloves according to redditors

Mandoline, you can get several types. I highly recommend getting cut resistant gloves too. Mandoline is the scariest thing I have in my kitchen even though I use it a lot. You could also try a salad shooter.

I've got gloves like these, I use them pretty much any time I have to cut something now. I loved it when using a grater for cheese the other night, and again for cleaning said grater. It's nice not to have to worry about your fingers.

Here's the same type

Conductive thread is a dollar a yard on amazon.

If you live somewhere cold, buy these three things for your car before it gets cold. I use all three of these pretty regularly half the year.

Cut resistant gloves, like these.

It's just so easy and cheap to make this a non-issue

Steel toes are a pain but I wouldn't put my feet in anything else when there's a drop danger. They've saved my feet numerous times. You can buy steel and aluminum guards that fit over your current shoes but I wouldn't trust them as much as I do a steel toed boot.

Any boot you get is going to be uncomfortable as fuck for the first few weeks. If you get a new pair, wear them around on weekends and going out. It'll toughen your feet faster so you aren't hobbled on the job as much.

What you might be able to do is keep a pair of sandals or slip-ons with you so when you go home at night you can take the boots off and leave them off.

I would highly suggest getting some Dr Scholls Gel Inserts. They're fucking incredible. Change them out about every four to six months and you'll get a lot more out of your boots. I guarantee you will notice the difference and it will be glorious.

When you can, get a second pair and third pair of boots and rotate them every day. If you don't they're going to get fucking rank very quickly and they'll break down faster.

On a side note: if you don't have them already, get some good work gloves. They are worth their weight in gold for this kind of work and will dramatically extend how much you can lift and for how long.

I've worked in the amazon affiliate business for a decade now, and I don't see an affiliate code in there (ref=sr_1_1 is not an affiliate/referral code.

Problem solved.

If you can't wear fingerless gloves, the next best thing are something like these. Light and breathable and not bulky so you have some dexterity.

I've never found a pair of glasses that won't fog up eventually, so just get some anti-fog wipes or some Cat Crap.

With one of the these.

Mechanix Gloves for anyone needing to workout outside in the winter

Getcha pair o kincos , slather some sno-seal on em, and yer dun. Ur welcome.

https://www.amazon.com/Kinco-Pig-Skin-Glove-Gloves/dp/B01CFWIRIC

The move seems to be Mechanix gloves.

I've been using these to great success.

So whenever I use a mandoline or spiralizer, I wear food grade kevlar gloves. They are pretty inexpensive (~$10), and if you get a pair that fits you well, you will save yourself a whole lot of blood sacrifice and trips to Urgent Care for stitches.

In addition to the hand guard /u/matt1267 mentioned, cut resistant kevlar gloves are magic.

I refuse to use my mandolin without wearing a pair. (The food guard is a hassle IMO.)

Just buy Mechanix gloves: https://www.amazon.com/Mechanix-Wear-MG-05-010-Original-Black/dp/B0001VNZQY

I would also get a pair of cut gloves like this. Makes using a mandoline in a safe manner much easier

https://www.amazon.com/WISLIFE-Resistant-Protection-Certified-Yard-work/dp/B015MGKX4E/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1498165852&sr=8-3&keywords=cut+gloves+kitchen

OK dont worry you guys. I've got this. First things first, you're going to need to open up a credit card with a high limit. $30k should do to start.

• Rubber Floor Mats. I got the Mopar ones. I might suggest Weathertech instead. If you have the unlimited, you can get mats for the back was well. I cannot find any mats for the back of my two door :(
  
• Have a dog? Plan on running with the roof off? Want to prevent them from falling out? Safari Straps have your back.
  
• Off Roading? I suggest some tire deflators to air down conveniently, and a portable air compressor to air back up.
  
• Grab Handles are great. Here's one example, but I recommend shopping around. Theres a lot of different styles, find what you like.
  
• Hi Lift Jack & Base. You'll quickly find off road that the stock jack will not get you out of a lot of situations. The base is helpful on soft surfaces (wet dirt, sand, etc).
  
• Change your own damn oil! It's easy. No jack required just shimmy under there. Make sure to get an oil catcher big enough for your motor. 6-8 QTS if I recall correctly.
  
• Buy a shovel. Invaluable off road
  
• Recovery Strap & learn how to use it properly.
  
• Mechanics Gloves. Again very helpful around the jeep.
  
  That should get you off to a good start. Eventually you might think about replacing the bumpers, adding a tire carrier, lifting the jeep, getting bigger wheels, adding a winch, adding a roof rack.

Mechanix Gloves

Ammo Box

I like to keep these handy for when I'm dealing with edge lords. Safety first!

Gloves here

Mostly shramps and some neons

Acquired a pair of these when I worked at a BBQ restaurant. Still use them when I get the mandolin out. I have gotten quite attached to my fingertips over the years and plan to keep it that way.

Besides keeping your knives sharp in the kitchen (dull knives cause more injuries than sharp ones!) everyone should have at least one cut resistant glove in their kitchen for when you're doing stuff like a lot of chopping/cutting or especially when you're using the great finger-tip eating Mandolin.

Cheaper than stitches...at least in the US. I'm sure you Canadian and European fans are just slicing your hands up all over the place knowing your healthcare is better and cheaper. May as well get your money's worth!

One thing if you use this get a pair of cut resistant gloves with a blade like this you will cut to the bone if you slip.

Get some insulated leather gloves/mitts and coat them with SnoSeal.

Kinco makes good ones that are really cheap. Flylow makes a similar style that comes pre-coated. I have a pair of BlackDiamond spark gloves I got on sale.

Just know that whatever brand you get you'll eventually have to reseal them with SnoSeal cause it doesn't last forever.

Mechanix FastFit Gloves. The velcro wrist strap on the regular Mechanix just gets clogged with mud/grass too easily.

I still do bar/nightclub work, I usually wear a pair of leather sap gloves or a pair of the soft knuckle gloves from Line Of Fire. I also have used Hatch brand gloves with hard knuckles, but every pair of hatch gloves I have owned has not stood up to more than a couple months of constant use. I highly recommend Line Of Fire, I know the Sentry and Operator series are a little more pricey, but they do have some more affordable options that have a pretty high level of cut protection. Mechanix makes a pair of covert tactical gloves that are becoming more and more popular. These Mechanix gloves have become popular due to their affordability, and the "normal" look they have to them, no shaped knuckles or anything that could contribute to the "intimidating" glove style some companies don't allow.

Mechanix gloves, they are proper decent.

These are quality gloves which are great for police work. They provide a good amount of protection, the palms are made out of a tough synthetic leather material, this will protect your hands from getting cut up from any debris or assorted detritus you may encounter during your duties. The other benefit of this material is you can use a touch screen with it. It is also quite water resistant, unlike woolly gloves. The back of the hand is made out of a fabric material, which is very breathable in summer. On some models there is a velcro strap for them, on others there is just some elastic (personally I have the elastic ones as they are easier to get on and off). There is also a Velcro loop to help you get them on and off. They are very dexitile and easy to manipulate, unlike leather gloves. Meaning you can get your kit out easier, work zips and even do a quick initial search. They also pack away quite easily, unlike bulky leather gloves, meaning you can keep them in your tacvest or a pocket. They are quite warm in winter, but if your hands get cold just slip on a merino wool liner underneath and it will keep you warm. They do a range of models, all of which are good and fairly cheap.

Mechanix Fast Fit gloves - I like these ones. Very cheap at £13. They are the ones you can slip on and off. These are the ones I use for work.

Mechanix Original - Same as the fastfit ones, but with velcro and more expensive. The velcro can be a failure point though.

Mechaniz M-PACT - More expensive, but has extra knuckle and finger guards. Also more tacticool if that's your thing.

Sealkskinz - These are very warm glove liners. Merino wool is a lovely material, which is soft and not itch, it also wicks well and keeps you warm when wet. Wear these underneath in deepest darkest winter, they will keep you warm. Also Sealskinz is a good brand for thermals or woolly hats/gloves.

I love these gloves when forging

I have a pair of these gloves that I wear when riding my motorcycle.

The chain glove is a great idea though, and you can buy them, but ye cats, they're expensive.

Mechanix Originals always served me well.

Most days I wear Kinco Deerskin Gloves and they are warm and durable. They suffice in most Sierra Conditions. If the deerskin gets wet, it dries supple, unlike cow leather. For storm days, I generally wear these Kincos. Both pairs get snosealed in the oven, and work pretty well.

Next time you're on the hill, look around, and chances are the Patrollers, Lift Mechanics, and other personnel who work outside will be similarly gloved. Kincos are our industry standard because they are warm, cheap, and durable. My "ski" gloves sit in a drawer collecting dust, because my Kincos are better, and I'm not worried about ruining them on the clock.

I own aquariums and have cats and dogs (I used to have rats! RIP Margo and Lilac). I am also a nurse, so I am constantly washing my hands.

• Don't use alcohol based hand sanitizers.
  
  
• Get a moisturizing hand soap for home (I use softsoap, its pretty cheap).
  
  
• I use these gloves when I am rearranging/cleaning out my aquarium to protect my skin from the chemicals.
  
  
• This hand cream is awesome. Even if you just apply it in the morning when you wake up, and at night before bed, you will notice a difference. Its small enough that I can keep it in my scrub pockets and apply it after washing my hands every once in a while throughout the day.
  
  
• You can slather your hands in moisturizer/vaseline before bed and put on some gloves like these while you sleep. I have tried it a few times, and it makes my hands soft, but it feels weird to sleep with gloves on.
  
  
• You could try using something like New-Skin on your hangnails instead of band aids to protect them from bacteria while they heal. They are less unsightly and the rats are less likely to pick them off.
  
  Those are all the tips I can think of right now! Hopefully something in there is useful!

I carry a pair with me during work, really handy when you deal with sharp objects of any kind.

I use the Mechanic gloves you can get at an auto parts store. Durable and just grippy enough.

For non-cold weather wear I like my Mechanix gloves for just about everything.

1. If you are planning on buying one specifically for the event, a generic mil-surp ruck will handle your first few challenges. I would avoid frame packs, as challenges can be pretty awkward if you can trying to wrestle around a metal frame during PT.
   Another option is to ask around inside of the Facebook group for your event. There might be an alumni willing to loan you a spare ruck.
   
   
2. Your ruck and bricks are usually the least unpleasant aspect of what you'll be carrying around. I'd focus on getting as strong as possible at your current bodyweight, instead of cutting weight (and strength, and endurance) to be allowed to carry fewer bricks. If keeping the 5 pounds makes you more capable of lugging around a water can, log, chunk of sidewalk, buddy, etc... that's the way to go.
   
   
3. Regular old Mechanix gloves have served me very well, and are pretty cheap. If I know the area is really sandy (and likely to work its way in to the velcro and open up the glove), I've been known to throw a strip of electrical tape around my wrist to just strap the things on for the challenge.
   http://www.amazon.com/Mechanix-Wear-MG-55-009-Original-Covert/dp/B0001VNZUA/
   
   
4. The dedicated training plans on the site are quite good (so is Military Athlete, though not free - http://militaryathlete.com/page.php?page_ID=12&cart_category_ID=54), but just following as much of http://training.goruck.com as possible is my recommendation. A lot of effort goes in to their programming.
   A 40# sandbag can function as half the gear you need for a basic fitness program at home.

I know this is kind of stupid, but I've been using work gloves instead of pot holders for a while.

Plus: they're cheap. They fit to your hand so you can have more control. They're meant for industrial use, so they should last a long time.

I can't find one on amazon, but they're somewhat between these: http://www.amazon.com/Custom-Leathercraft-125M-Handyman-Gloves/dp/B0002YPZKY/ref=lp_553608_1_4?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1394420057&sr=1-4 and the regular latex dipped work gloves.

You're really not gonna get a consensus on this, this is such a subjective question.

Personally, I recommend you start off with something like base level Mechanix. They're a bit cheaper than other options, are decently sturdy, and a good introduction into what you want out of combat gloves.

Those coyote ones are what I currently use and they're far far better than the 5.11 gloves I started with. The 5.11s started to fall apart after a few months and were just overall less comfortable than the Mechanix.

Get a pair of gloves.

Solid choice of gear. You'll probably regret those fingerless gloves when you get in the fingernail though. Hurts like hell. What I see a lot of people do is get something like Mechanix and just cut off the ends of the index finger and thumb, as that's really all you need. I just use Mechanix M-pacts and have no problems doing whatever I need to.

Yes, a One Tigris will fit much more comfortably than a mesh mask. What you can do, though, is bend the mesh to fit better. You can also take off the cloth on the edges (Heat it to melt glue, then peel it off), and cut the mesh to fit better, then glue the cloth back on.

You do not need pants. I just use jeans, and the the apron over a jacket. Here is what I use:

A miniature sewing kit. When you’re running missions outside, clothes tend to get ripped, and with only limited numbers, life can get rough. A sewing kit helps.
Spirarcha chili sauce. If your soldier likes spicy foods, send them this. It’s spicy, it has flavor, and it will last them a few months.

Socks and underwear. Send them hiking socks and replacement pairs of underwear. Clothes tend to get gross and if they don’t have laundry, sometimes it is for the best to toss out old underclothes and wear new ones.

Beef jerky.

Trail mix of various types.

Great ideas for one-time gifts. These range from relatively cheap, to pricy and are a great surprise to a soldier stationed anywhere. I’ve included links to the products to give you an idea of what they look like, though don’t take those links as the only/cheapest place to find them:

Adjustable two-point sling. On base they have to carry around a weapon everywhere, and on mission they’ll be going some serious distance with it in their hands. If they are still using an Army-issue plain sling life is going to get a bit annoying. An adjustable two-point sling makes things more convenient and lets them ready a weapon to fire without an awkward movement on a mission. Ignore this if they are using a machine-gun, because those use heavy duty slings. Various companies make these, I prefer the VTAC, but they are all similar in make.

Surefire Earplugs. On mission, soldiers are supposed to wear earplugs, but many don’t because its uncomfortable and often all they are issued are cheap low qualifty plugs. Surefire earplugs conform to the shape of the ear and they are designed to allow someone to still be able to hear conversation level noise while protecting from high level noise. These are great.

Head-Loc helmet straps. One of the greatest pains is a helmet that won’t stay secure. The Head-Loc straps stay tighter and make the helmet so comfortable that you forget you’re wearing it.

PMAGs. Magpul plastic magazines, or PMAGs are high quality replacements for metal GI magazines. Army issued metal magazines are often used for years past the date that they should be retired and they are prone to feeding issues (I won’t get into the details) and PMAGs fix many of those issues and give a soldier more confidence in their equipment. A combat load is 7 magazines, so don’t feel the need to buy more than that, and even one or two PMAGs is greatly appreciated. Ignore if they are using a machinegun.

Head-lamp. Walking around an outpost at night is tricky and Afghanistan can get dark, a head-lamp is a great help to keep your soldier from stubbing their toe or walking into barbed wire. Get only with some kind of red or blue light filter.

Mechanix gloves. Soldiers need to wear gloves on mission and they tend to get torn up, a replacement pair of mechanixs gloves is a good choice.

I got some cut resistant gloves as a gift last year and they look kind of goofy but it's better than losing a fingertip. Otherwise I just use mine very very very carefully and slowly and also not often at all.

Cut Gloves can be pretty affordable to have on hand for people doing prep or dishwashers that don't have a lot of knife experience. Way cheaper to have these "on hand" than a hospital bill or L&I costs

A lower face mesh like this: http://www.evike.com/products/33666/

Some ANSI z87.1 goggles from basically anywhere or a painball mask to substitute for those and the face mesh

And that should be enough to get started

Yeah. I've been using Mechanix for yard work and other random projects for years. The last pair lasted over two years -

Gloves! Something like these. The ramp is a nasty place

Or an armband badge holder thing since lanyards can be a pain in the ass if you're stooped over in the bins

I biked to work today. It was windy, but altogether a pretty pleasant ride overall. I guess I can provide a few tips.

• I use http://forecast.io and the companion app Dark Sky to get really accurate forecasts for a certain location over the next hour. This morning, that allowed me to ride during a gap in the rain.
  
  
• For clothing, I recently bought these two things and they work like a charm in combination with a headband (for ears):

  Also, lights and reflective tape go a long way.

Oh snaaap we got the same gloves https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002YPZKY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Welding gloves work really well, too.

I have had this set for 2 years and use them for shuffling logs, moving embers for cooking, moving pots and dutch ovens, and moving charcoal in a grill. Not really recommended, but they work great. Think of them as super oven mitts.

I'd buy these over those.

You could just get one of these to be safe, although they are a little pricey.

These after applying some of this. Cheap, and it's what a lot of the on mountain staff use every day of the season.

I work in Minnesota/North Dakota. No doubt some of the shittiest weather in the country. Kinco have been the best gloves I've ever had. I buy 2 pairs every winter

Get a 10 dollar cut glove and no one should hurt themselves on a madoline ever again. I've tried cutting through mine with my very sharp chef knife and it does nothing.

Something you need to mention to a doc about. Mean time only thing that I could think of would be arm length gloves. (For if you want to be a mad scientist)

gloves, something along the lines of these:

https://www.amazon.com/NoCry-Cut-Resistant-Gloves-Performance/dp/B00IVM1TKO?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_2

everyone's talking about graters and microplanes and that's all well and good til you get a nice big chunk out of your hands.

Are they a little goofy? yes, sure. will you cut your hands? no!

That's quitter talk. Go put these on and make her happy.

Or just buy cut resistant gloves. I have a pair, and I never use a mandolin without it.

Mind you I have only used this stuff to carve this one tiny thing but I figure I can always upgrade to different tools if I stick with it for a while and decide these things need an upgrade. Next time I buy supplies, I’m definitely finding another retailer for larger pieces of Basswood though. The selection on Amazon sucks a bit.

I have an OXO stainless steel folding mandolin and I love it. So. Yeah. I just got into Japanese cuisine for work, and am so thankful that I'm an age-old mandolin-er. I also bought a cut-resistant glove at the same time, and would never ever EVER use the crappy guards that come with any mandolin.

Gloves

Mitts

My dad bought me these because I had so many mishaps in the kitchen for some time

Just search cut resistant gloves.

Edit: Here you go. I use them when cleaning my knives.

Been using gloves since I got my T300RS, as the rubber covered wheel was a bit too harsh on my hands compared to my old G25's leather.

In the AC official forum I got recommended this Mechanix Fastfit gloves. Inexpensive, good drip and not too warm. Good enough for sim racing.

Around June I switched to the Racequip 2 layer Nomex gloves I got for Real Life track action. Much more expensive and warm than the Mechanix ones.

• Kreg pocket hole jig -- $40 to make carpentry projects super easy.
  
• Rivnut tool -- for mounting things to sheet metal.
  
• Shop towels -- more versatile paper towels.
  
• good cooler -- ice last 5-8 days even in the middle of summer heat.
  
• bug nets for windows -- but them pre-made or build your own. Gives you airflow in summer without letting the bugs in.
  
• candle lantern -- cheap. Safe if you blow it out before crawling into bed. Nice soft lighting to give you a break from blue LEDs.
  
• Aeropress coffee maker -- great coffee where ever you are. Quick and easy to clean.
  
• mechanic gloves -- for when you've got to do work and don't want super greasy hands and bloody knuckles.

Not sure about those guys, but Sting wore Mechanix gloves during his WCW run as crow sting

I've always used Mechanix gloves:

Good, general use gloves - it comes down to personal preference, but I like the finger coverage especially for pulling the gravel into the buckets or hauling the logs around

But then I also have a pair of fingerless biking gloves that I use as well. For my daily carry I usually keep the biking gloves if i venture out. The fingerless are good if you want more dexterity and its hot out. In camp I always have the more durable work gloves handy if I need more protection.

Try a kevlar glove. Its great for using with a grater or mandolin without worrying about slicing up your hands.

It's not like it comes up halfway to the elbow, just a bit higher up the arm.

Another option is welder's gloves! These are under $11 (Prime) for a PAIR! And these extra length gloves are $16.50 (again, Prime) also for a pair.

I suspect you could find the welding gloves cheaper at a local hardware store. I bought the welding gloves based on Alton Brown's recommendation, but the Ove Glove and Pitt Mitt have better dexterity, so I prefer them for oven use.

my oven mitts. You can get uglier for 5$ or goes to your elbows for 15$.

​

​

Maybe not the best for pulling pork, but welders gloves are great for the grill. They can be had for not much more than a good pair of leather gardening gloves.

I recently started teaching myself to MIG weld in my garage, and went with these products:

• Gloves
  
• Helmet
  
• Jacket
  
  I can attest to them being quality products, especially considering their price. I didn't get a cap, because I didn't really know that was a thing... but I just wear a baseball cap backwards and it seems to work fine.

I use get a pair of these to ski in. Best money I've ever spent on gloves. I'm sure they could be found at a hardware store around town.

I have cut myself on my damn kitchen knives so many times. I got a mandoline slicer for my birthday last year and (before even opening the box) got a set of cut resistant gloves like these. After almost shredding my first one I've replaced them again, but I haven't cut myself again so its totally worth $10/year.

Wanna keep your fingers and not have to deal with the stupid guard your mandolin came with? By a cut proof glove =)

This is the correct answer. I got these and love them. Only $13

Mandoline and a cut resistant glove ... have a look at the comments on any mandonline on Amazon before you pass on the idea.

http://www.amazon.com/Cut-Resistant-Glove-Protection-Preparation/dp/B00GU1RD2G/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Ever try those cut resistant gloves?

Cut gloves are always a good bet! I’m most familiar with this style, from my days in the restaraunt industry. They’re a little easier to cut through that the next style, but you shouldn’t get hurt even if you cut through the glove. The grip on woven gloves is also much better.

These guys are essentially chainmail armor, but they don’t really allow a good grip on hard, smooth surfaces like most wood. Also they could mar the surface of the wood, depending on your grip strength and the wood.

As counter-intuitive as it sounds, dull knives are way more scary than sharp knives. Sharp knives cut where you want to cut, and require less pressure to do so. Dull knives require more pressure to cut, and are more likely to jump suddenly during a cut. It’s safer to always keep your knife sharp!

They're quite cheap actually. Save yourself many a bloody knuckles.

$12 and your problem is forever solved

I have a couple of devices to suggest that might help you out a little bit. And then some Recipes..

[Salad Cutter bowl]
(https://www.amazon.com/LIPR-Cutter-Lettuce-Vegetables-Seconds/dp/B078SSFJSY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1539094959&sr=8-1&keywords=slicing+chopping+prep+tools)

[Cut resistant gloves]

These could be used I think for chopping some smaller items too not just herbs

[Herb Scissors]
(https://www.amazon.com/Jenaluca-Herb-Scissors-Kitchen-Shears/dp/B00LRKMK96/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1539094959&sr=8-16&keywords=slicing+chopping+prep+tools)

[Onion Chopper]
(https://www.amazon.com/Prepworks-by-Progressive-Onion-Chopper/dp/B00FOI4324/ref=sr_1_30?ie=UTF8&qid=1539095190&sr=8-30&keywords=slicing+chopping+prep+tools)

Some of the items in this dish can be purchased ready to go like the onions and bell peppers. I also buy diced pickled jalapeños to use in dishes cause I can't touch them.

In this recipe they want you to cook the chicken from raw and then shred it. that could pose quite a challenge. I used rotisserie chicken already chopped that worked better for me.

[Homemade Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup]
(https://www.copymethat.com/r/cPq2HJk/homemade-crock-pot-chicken-tortilla-soup/)

[Black Bean Garnachas]
(https://www.copymethat.com/r/MK9iKnW/black-bean-garnachas-diabetic-cooking-ch/)

For this one I would buy the carrots already sliced.

[Campbell's Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice]
(https://www.copymethat.com/r/4hlLTG0/campbells-creamy-chicken-and-wild-rice-r/)

One of those chopper devices would help here unless you buy the frozen chopped onions.

[Cauliflower Breakfast Muffins]
(https://www.copymethat.com/r/wrRygAh/cauliflower-breakfast-muffins-delish/)

[Cheesey Flounder Florentine]
(https://www.copymethat.com/r/ChFYmkH/cheesey-flounder-florentine/)

[Chicken Alfredo Casserole]

Maybe?

[Easy Roasted Mushrooms]
(https://www.copymethat.com/r/kIsorxQ/easy-roasted-mushrooms-serious-eats/)

[Easy Sesame Noodles]
(https://www.copymethat.com/r/Mvzxd3y/easy-sesame-noodles/)

Again Maybe?

[Easy Vegan Cold Pasta Salad]
(https://www.copymethat.com/r/rTTVHEm/easy-vegan-cold-pasta-salad-with-fresh-h/)

[Easy Vodka Sauce]
(https://www.copymethat.com/r/C6atnGR/easy-vodka-sauce/)

I got one of these at a local kitchen supply store (for waaay more than Amazon charges, now that I look. Whoops).

Also as a PSA, if you don't already have one, get a kevlar glove so you don't cut your fingertips off (I would have cut myself a couple times on this project if I didn't have one, sliced through the nitrile gloves).

There's these. You'd need the 11" model. Not sure if it would work though. Pipe cutters get a bit finicky if they're not rolling straight and a baseball is not a smooth surface. Idk, kinda expensive for a maybe.

Cut resistant gloves like these might be a better investment.

I'm notorious in my house for slicing my hands in stupid ways while in the kitchen, so my wife got me a pair of these. She did not enjoy my demonstration of them as I tried to cut my palm open. They work pretty well. I highly recommend them or something like them!

Dude... Do we need to crowd source some Kevlar/chain mail gloves?

You should get some cut resistant gloves!

I was thinking leather gloves, but are you talking about something like these?:

https://www.amazon.com/NoCry-Cut-Resistant-Gloves-Performance/dp/B00MXUHHGK

Ordered

Thought the slice I took out of my thumb was a lot smaller than it is. Re-bandaging last night convinced me to get a glove.

Maxiflex. Hands down. Feel good, fit my hands well, not very thick, but not too thin. I found myself eating lunch with them on sometimes... 9/10 would recommend. Just don't get them soaked.

https://www.amazon.com/Maxiflex-34-874-Ultimate-Nitrile-Gloves/dp/B00P4PJOWG?th=1

These specifically.

Actually I didn't cut myself once (I was sure I would) but I also bought these gloves about half way through:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015MGKX4E

I never really tested them hard, but it was nice to have one layer of protection so that you could decrease your carving force if you felt the knife contact them at all.

I'd ask your PCP about the hematologist. I've had two PCP's over the years (I moved), and each has given me a referral to a hematologist. My current hematologist has been amazing.


Life style modifications: mostly just being a bit more careful. I'd ask your PCP about compression socks. I flew from Boston to London and was AOK. I got up every 60-90mins, wore my compression socks, and stayed hydrated. No issues. I've been advised against contact sports. I used to compete in powerlifting, but have stopped since I get a gnarly bruise across my back when squatting more than my body weight. The concern about contact sports is head trauma and the potential for significant bruising. I'd consider buying a set of sharps gloves for use in the kitchen. I have these.

For info about birth control and blood clots, I'd check out the National Blood Clot Alliance. They have a separate page dedicated to the topic, found here.

As far as if the birth control could trigger the clots after all that time-maybe. I think of it as a cascade of risk. If there is an underlying clotting disorder, it could have contributed the clots.


As far as timeline goes, I think it depends on the individual risk factors and if they find an underlying cause.


For more info, I go to 2 sites: StopTheClot.org and then the Blood Clot Recovery Network discussion page on facebook.

I use these electronic ear muffs. They work quite well but sometimes you have to double up if the guy next to you has a big boom stick. Gloves I use Mechanix, they're cheap and good.

I setup a little photoshoot for you guys, the only thing bad is that I didn't have a decent camera on me today. Anyways, here is my new night parka setup. This is a pretty cheap loadout to replicate so if you want to look to see if you can replicate it, go ahead! Here is my loadout to what follows:

• Lancer Tactical Ballistic Helmet(DE)
  
• Revision Desert Locust Goggles
  
• Condor Multi-Wrap
  
• Moldable Mouth Guard
  
• Night Parka did a weird tuck in rubber band mod for the mean time

• Custom Mini-MAP (because I can't afford GMRRR)
  
• Mechanix Gloves
  
  Gun
  
• KWA KM4 KR5
  
• Replica EoTech
  
• 4 K120's

I use some Mechanix gloves. They’re light enough that I can still use the remote with them. They’re not the greatest when it starts to get down to like under 30° but they’re better than nothing.

I would love this or this

Not fingerless (cause fingerless cuts off my circulation), but I love Mechanix Gloves https://www.amazon.com/Mechanix-Wear-Tactical-Original-Covert/dp/B0001VNZUA/ref=sr_1_4?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1487365737&sr=1-4&keywords=Mechanix

I used these back when I was a security guard. Used them because I touched a lot of doorknobs and gates on patrol and my hands would get nasty and gross.

Weren't too hot in the summer and kept my hands warm enough in the winter, but I was still able to do things pretty much normal such as riffling through a key ring for the right key and whatnot.

The only issue I had with them is the velcro would blow out after a few months, but that's only because I was constantly taking them off and on in between patrols every hour. Don't imagine that would be an issue under normal use.

Cheaper on amazon

+1 for Mechanix. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001VNZUA

Generally gloves are unnecessary at a race. If it's cold or the terrain is garbage, then maybe. However, gloves are basically required at HH and HH12HR. I'd recommend Mechanix gloves like these
https://www.amazon.com/Mechanix-Wear-Tactical-Original-Covert/dp/B0001VNZZU

Here you go. They are 14 bucks here.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001VNZZU/ref=twister_B001ACRWOO?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1#customerReviews

I use Mechanix gloves - favorite is Mechanix Original Covert Large , you just have to keep in mind they're disposable and will break. I also have a pair of leather gardening gloves that I bring along when I'm foraging wood.

Here. I use these for camping and fire prep. work great.

Yeah, same setup. I have low ceilings and artsy door arches, so I do pullups on a pipe outside. Sometimes I'll wear some of those form-fitting work gloves. Nothing too thick, but something so I'm not touching the metal directly.

I use gloves with leather palms like these. They work well as general purpose gloves.

depending on what you are doing.
might try these. https://www.amazon.com/Simple-Glove-but-Fully-Protection/dp/B01DL9Z74K with thin nitrile over the top.

if that just doesn't work for you, might try these.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0008F5JFI/ref=psdc_553608_t1_B01DL9Z74K

another option might be the thinnest cotton gloves you can find, and wear them under nitrile gloves. change the cotton gloves every few hours, since you'll be cutting a hole in the nitrile or latex gloves just as often.

You can try Kevlar gloves. But caltrops can sometimes stab you even through those.

Otherwise, thick leather, awkwardness and all. But caltrops can stab you even through those.

With caltrops, there isn't really a good answer, sorry.

Like many comments in here, use your hand guard! I've cut myself many a times just thinking it'll be faster without the hand guard. Or you can get yourself a cut resistant glove:


http://www.amazon.com/1607L-Resistant-100-Percent-Kevlar-Textured/dp/B0008F5JFI

http://www.amazon.com/Rothco-Shurrite-Heavyweight-Resistant-Gloves/dp/B000IGGBX6

That would be a Doctor question, not a me question. Best I can do is suggest you consider a Kevlar or chainmail glove if you're worried about knives while cooking.

What a wonderful idea for a contest.

I've had a rough time recently, some real ups and downs... but in order to keep this from sounding like a sob story I'll spare the details. If you're curious, I don't mind answering questions in PM's.

What I really need is my car fixed, but that's just something I'll have to take care of in order of priority. I don't have any friends here (in my town), but I am going over to meet a guy tonight that's going to help me build my forge. By all indications this could be my first local friend, and I'm excited for a couple reasons, one being having a friend, and two being FIRE!! FIREE!!! FI... uh... Blacksmithing!

Speaking of fire though, Blacksmithing carries a certain risk. Not only are you dealing with a coal (or gas) fire that can get upwards of (or higher than) 2000 degrees Fahrenheit (1093 C for those of you using that system.) but you are heating and handling that metal. I built a small soup-can gas forge and hammered a little bit on a railroad spike, but wasn't using proper tongs or PPE. I hit it, my pliers lost their grip and the hot spike flew up and hit me in the face just below my right eye. I got lucky it didn't hit my eye. Even though it only made momentary contact, it still burned and hurt for a week.

So, right now the items on my wishlist that would actively benefit my continued well-being would be the safety equipment on it. There's a heavy apron, a pair of welding gloves and a pair of decent safety goggles that would help protect me from flying super-heated metal.

Agreed. They are great for grilling, too. We have these, https://smile.amazon.com/US-Forge-400-Welding-Leather/dp/B000MRQAJG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1482199502&sr=8-3&keywords=welding+gloves

These are $8 with prime shipping. I'm sure shipping from the UK would put it well over $8.

Gloves

Got a chain mail glove around?

Damn, I didn't know how expensive those are.

I got a pair of these Mechanix and they're pretty great.

Kinco Gloves are massively popular with people who want something durable and cheap. Just rub em down with wax often to keep the water out.

Go Kinco: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026KXR0C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Seriously though

One of the better purchases I've ever made.


Also I very recently was making chili and had added to much beef stock so I added some corn starch to help it thicken... except it wasn't corn starch it was powdered sugar.

One entire pot of chili ruined and macdonalds for supper instead :(

Mandolines can be nasty freaking things and the included food gripper things often suck outloud. But! Kevlar Gloves! Freaking awesome!

Just buy a set of these or similar set of elbow length gloves.

What, I slow cook whole pigs and use an clean oil drum to pull the bones out....

Lots of good advice here. Just keep in mind that mittens are warmer than gloves, and that anything fabric can be made into a touch glove:

Every glove is a phone glove. Just pass a couple of loops of this at the fingertips. Ebay has a lot of cheaper options too.

You can buy thread to mod your gloves. http://www.amazon.com/Conductive-thread-screen-gloves-texting/dp/B00GG3US4S

They do, my friend!

I highly recommend getting cut-resistant gloves and using them when you use tools on a 3D print.

Cut Resistant Safety Glove https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GU1RD2G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9ljSDbTQA4QRS

If you're not in a hurry, you can get them from Alibaba for $2-3, just search "cut resistant glove".

Hey OP, aren't there gloves that he can wear to not cut himself?

Here's one

Also available at your local Restaurant Supply store usually! I'm not allowed to use our mandolin without one! LMFAO

Edited to add... I have no experience with the glove I linked to and there are lots of others on Amazon, I imagine they are all pretty comparable.

Seconded! I love this mandolin so much! Also, if you’re worried about cutting yourself and find the plastic gripper hard to use, I highly recommend these gloves to go with it.

After my boyfriend cut part of his finger off I bought him some gloves. Butchers use them a lot and you can find them on Amazon. Usually made of kevlar or chain mesh.

Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/NoCry-Cut-Resistant-Gloves-Performance/dp/B00IVM1TKO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449652438&sr=8-1&keywords=Butcher+gloves

Thanks for the reply!! I read this yesterday and it honestly helped me to get motivated. I bought these gloves from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/NoCry-Cut-Resistant-Gloves-Performance/dp/B00IVM1TKO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504298736&sr=8-1&keywords=cut+free+glove
and they worked amazing! I wore them today and the bites didn't hurt:)

I'm on mobile so not sure if it'll work:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IVM1TKO/ref=ya_st_dp_summary

I use the Benriner along with these no-cut gloves. It's been great.

Yeah. You can find them on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MXUHHGK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apis_1511840335128

I have these and they work great.

has anyone of you guys tried to flip wearing a cut resistant glove like this? is it too thick or slippery?

I'd use these gloves

I am also terrified of cutting myself, so my bf bought me nice knives and a pair of gloves like this: https://www.amazon.com/NoCry-Cut-Resistant-Gloves-Performance/dp/B00MXUHHGK

When they came he demonstrated how safe they were against sharp knives and now I use them all the time and I feel SO much more comfortable.

The Jamaican prep cook I worked with ages ago taught me to put on an apron and an oyster shucking glove to shuck oysters. After a few weeks of practice I think I was at least nearly as fast as these guys. I wonder why they don't use the best tools for the job.

NAH.

Buy him one of these: https://www.amazon.com/NoCry-Cut-Resistant-Gloves-Performance/dp/B00MXUHHGK/

Knife-Proof Glove

An excellent solution

I've got this one. Works like a treat with four different cutting options. The handheld guard is good, but you do end up with some waste that becomes too small to carefully cut.

You could buy metal gloves to protect yourself.

Dexter are about the best for the price but they're not fancy.

I actually like my fillet knife from Cutco. The blade is extendable and it has a leather sheath.

Bubba blade fillet knives are popular. I don't have one. They come in different sizes and styles.

One product I didn't think I needed but now I can't live without is a fillet glove. Here is one for example glove

I also have a mandolin, and I have also cut myself badly enough to need an ER visit.

Now I have a pair of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00MXUHHGK/ref=asc_df_B00MXUHHGK52857762/

Yes, I really like that slaw too. I've used it for several other dishes. You don't need a mandolin, but that really helps. And I love these gloves to protect your fingers (mandolins scare me):

cutting gloves

Always play safe

They're machine washable!

I use these for working on my cars: https://www.amazon.com/Maxiflex-34-874-Ultimate-Nitrile-Gloves/dp/B00P4PJOWG/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1541603302&sr=8-17&keywords=mechanics+grip+gloves

If I'm doing a fluid change I'll always use disposable but for any work that requires me to feel around I will use the maxiflex. If you use non-disposable for fluids you'll have to wipe them down anyway which means you're throwing away paper towels/rags.

I use these for a few months at a time working in the desert, granted i'm not clearing brush or anything, just light construction. I also use them at home in my shop every day.

Several people I play with use Gorilla Grips from Homedepot; I have used them and they work very well. Another industrial glove I have used is MaxiFlex Ultimate and I love them but are harder to find in stores.

I have tried Huck Nation (didn't like them at all) and Friction gloves (good, but not worth the price) and neither of them compared to the value of $3-$5 gloves found at your local hardware store. When in doubt look for gloves with a Nitrile coating and you will be very happy.

I found that the coating flakes off fairly quickly when I use these. (commercial carpentry) I use these They're also the type of gloves my foreman was buying for the crew during framing. Good dexterity with screws but you'll need to tape your finger if you're cutting drywall. They don't take repeated friction too well.

As always, when starting carving I always recommend getting a pair of cut gloves. They are less than $10 and even if you only wear one on the hand holding the wood, they can save you from some serious cuts.

Especially when first learning. If you’re trying to get through a knot, the grain takes the blade in an unexpected direction, or for whatever reason the blade slips.

They aren’t perfect, you can still stab directly into them, but it lessens the depth. But they will protect you from slices. Mine have paid for themselves at least three times through not having to visit the doctor for stitches.

Also, whatever knife you get, make sure it locks (if folding). The best way to cut the hand holding the knife is to have it fold closed on you.
