First aid kit

[Frank]

you could just use your straightening irons to cauterise the wound frank:001_tt2:

Sold em when I shaved my head. Only have clippers now.

I am betting that its arm or hand.

 

Two hands on the saw?

Two hands on the saw?

 

That is best practice yes...

 

But im sure we all "one hand" abit more than we should, also cutting and holding.

[Stuart A-C]

Never!

fluffy bunny - you and me both mate!, a small shell dressing does the trick and fits in the pocket nicely. Does anybody REALLY stop and put a plaster on up a tree?!!?

After viewing the Climbing accident pics thread,I will be packing a wound dressing from now on. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/11429-accident-pictures.html

i have the cheap stein one on the back of my TMotion, never had any problems with snagging it. i would never climb without it. has my rope cutting knife in it aswell.

I have aStein on my Treemotion too, the weak belt loop on it was starting to tear (again) so my wife stitched a a bit of cheapo webbing belt and buckle round it and it is pretty much indestructible now. I reckon it will save me the cost of several of these kits in the long run, Would NEVER climb without kit.

Mine kept gettin snagged and torn off aswell, just got a large wound dressing in the side pocket of my trousers now, dont really need much else and its always there if you have a bad ome.

I always have one with me. Dosn't bother me at all. None of my colleagues carry one though. Personally I feel it is a vital thing to have with you.
