This is what prevents me from carrying more than a few plasters and wound wipes when out and about with the general public. The only thing I carry out of the norm is a hypaguard disposable face shield. Seen one or two messy CPR's to not be without one.Deeps wrote:I'm well out of date too and while the basics are the same, I'm not insured as a first aider, this is something to consider in our litigious world.shocker wrote:Im (almost) speechless at how much things have advanced in this area.

I agree on the compulsory first aid training. I was lucky in having a Junior St Johns group meet weekly in the Rec Hall opposite where I lived as a child, so I got to blag in for free as they felt sorry for the pikey kid. Cant see that the same but updated would hurt youngsters, nowadays.
I really need to get some up to date training. (not quite) all-the-gear, no idea...thats me
Stop the purple stuff pissing out and keep the heart going is the core I guess but things evolve. It would be good to get back in date, more to be of use to others, I'm happy enough to square myself away.
The kits I take on holiday or fishing etc, are for mine and my friends/families benefit and are loaded with all the good stuff. Even so, I don't carry items I don't know how to use.
