I carry 3 x sachets of the Celox when hunting with others or participating in team events such as driven hunts. I don't usually carry them when hunting alone because I doubt I could handle using them...

Done, be interested in seeing the findings. Potentially not just ask about plb but also Spots and Inreachs as these have live tracking functions aswell

Yes this is great. There don't seem to be any first aid courses specifically for solo hunters or remote groups where help can't be expected for a considerable amount of time
