Just realized that in entry 77 there's distortion and Tim leaves Jay without a camera. He could have encountered the Operator and no one would know about it?

He didn't hide that bag. First, why show us the video of tucking it away if he didn't want us to know about it? Second, it had served its purpose. Jay showed us what was in it (the external hard drive Alex was using to store video from the chest cam), and then put the bag somewhere it wouldn't be in the way. We even see him using it himself in entry #69, I believe. (it could be #64; i just remember it was an entry where he and Tim were exploring together) I assume he tucked it into that little compartment instead of just tossing it in wherever to keep someone from breaking into his car in hopes there was something of value in the bag.

Edit: It was entry #69; I just watched it again.

Might be able to use the xacto knife to dig the bullet out. If it's not too bad, just find something to cover the wound. Won't live forever, though. At least it seems plausible to me, I have little to no knowledge of proper gun shot wound protocol.

(Created an account just to chime in mainly about the whole being wounded thing.)

Going to preface this with the fact that I am a combat medic in the Army, so gunshot wounds are something of a specialty of mine.

Based off of the location of where Jay was holding, the lack of a blood smear forming while he was sitting against that wall, and just in general the amount of blood that was coming from the wound, I can safely say that as long as Jay gets medical intervention within a few hours, Jay is in no serious danger of bleeding out, but several other medical implications can arise.

I'll start with the location. Jay was holding his upper left quadrant, which means basically where his stomach is. The stomach is a hollow organ, and not a whole lot of blood vessels permeate the tissue. If Alex had shot him on the other side, where the liver is located, then we'd be singing a different song, and I'd be genuinely worried. So with the location, risk of actual bleed out is relatively low compared to other places he was shot.

The lack of a blood smear anywhere but the hand print indicates that there was no exit wound. Those things can be really messy, and you know if one is there just based off of that fact alone.

Now the more serious medical implications are where we can only infer what happens, as we can't observe Jay after he's Operated on. Depending on the type on ammunition Alex used, and the fact that we don't have an exit wound, that hunk of lead could have bounced around causing damage to other organ systems. The abdominal cavity can hold a lot of blood, so he could be suffering from massive internal bleeding that could of course kill him. There's also the off chance that the round entered the bottom portion of his lung cavity, and Jay could be facing a collapsed lung. The thing with where he was holding , the bottom of your ribs actually extend a little bit over what is considered the abdomen. Now Jay potentially has what we tend to call a sucking chest wound, in which the internal pressure of the lung cavity is compromised and the lung cannot maintain itself.

Not to say that the above scenarios are what Trosephim are going for, I personally hold out that Jay is just fine, but being a combat medic, I do tend to see what all potential avenues for injuries can go. Sorry about the wall of text guys. Haha

Yeah... I wouldn't look too into where Jay was holding himself or anything like that.

Gut shots are rather dangerous. The stomach may be hollow, but if any of those acids get into the rest of your system, it could eat you alive.
