Thread: First Aid Training and Article

Yesterday I redid my First Aid training for the first time in, well a significant period of time (lets just say that AED's were a look but don't touch item in courses).
It is amazing how the "rules" have changed - 30:2 CPR ratio regardless of age now, and breathing no longer recomended in many countries.
There are now easily available tourniquets, and I clearly need to have a reassessment of my emergency kit.

Now 15yrs ago I was told about using tampons for gunshot wounds and a few made it to the emergency kit but I see that has now been kicked to touch.

They still make great fire starters though.
