Nice flex guys, very dramatic. You can't even have peace in Tasmania, is there no place left unspoiled by the fiendish limb lust of Big Amputation?

A CAT tourniquet and a garrote saw can have a leg amputated in less than 45 seconds. Less than 10 If you can use a skill saw with a sterile blade. Ask me How I know.
