Several conclusions after doing a remote first aid course last week.
Personally:
- I feel barely prepared, and want to do more training
- I would like to do more practical training (cf. @Kels_316's “slow training” model) and simulation exercises
Necessary equipment:
- a good first aid kit suitable for remote use is hard to buy off the shelf, but most decent first aid kits will get you a long way there
- the mark up on first aid kits is enormous, but hopefully it's a one-off with occasional restock
- the extra bits you will want to put in it will cost you a chunk of cash, but be worth it if you actually spend time in remote places or have first responder (RFS/CFA, SES, VRA) responsibilities
- ARB's “Family" first aid kit contains about 95% of everything you will ever need and is *very* good (https://www.arb.com.au/general-accessories/first-aid-kits/)
- kits from Survival First Aid are also very good (https://survivalfirstaidkits.net.au/)
- ideally, you will *never* have to use any of this stuff (much the same wish goes with your vehicle recovery gear)

There seems to be consensus amongst first responders, that a SAM Splint is a super useful tool in the backpack to splint broken bones of any kind.
It is lightweight, super flexible, can be cut with scissors to use it for smaller things like fingers, etc. It easily fits in every backpack.

Today mine arrived to complete my first aid gear. I have chosen the 36" Large edition, which is considered the best size for all-round use (and as mentioned for the smaller things it can be cut as well).

First Aid/CPR/AED Course coming up Tuesday, May 20
Bob Lee will be giving his well-regarded First Aid/CPR/AED class in the North Fork again this spring. The class offers two-year AHA certification in First Aid, CPR and AED usage.
(Note: Due to popular request, this edition is for people who have taken the course before, but need to re-certify their skills. If you’ve never taken the class or it has been a long time since you did so, you should sign up for the July 22 session.)
The course starts at 9:00am and should wrap up just after lunch (although it could be a little earlier). The date is Tuesday, May 20. Cost is $45/person. The course will be held at Sondreson Hall. Bring your own lunch and drinks. Class size is limited to 10 people.
Contact Bill Walker, 406-407-2764 or wkwalker@nvdi.com to sign up for the course.
Apres toutes ces années, comment cela fait que ces Zipper Bandage n'ai pas déjà peuplé les services de soins, de secours et nos sacs de secours ?
D'ailleurs, pas impossible qu'une alternative ne puisse pas être imprimer en 3D ?!
