Here:

Treuils forestiers

On offer at 1750ttc

I know, it's the other side of France but it's just an example.

Many French businesses won't put up the price on the web for such kit.

Today I was on an arb aid course by Grieg. We also bought an arb aid kit and I really think it's great. I know a lot of you might say cost vs a standard first aid kit but I think this is a well thought out product. The Course delivery has been brilliant and I think it's one of the best tree related first aid courses I've been on.

It was a real sobering thought that in reality it will take a minimum of 15 minutes for a rescue to be completed. Thus self rescue and practising one handed bandage administration in the tree is possibly the most practical method of rescue. In my opinion.

Couple of things in the arb aid kit are great the tweezers with the magnifying glass and the bandages that stick to themselves ( although you can get them in tesco for a couple of quid). I got told on a forestry commission site that it was not suitable as there were no large wound dressings, FC guy went through the kit and said nope no good. i had to borrow dressings before i was allowed to cut on site. Anyone else had it rejected?

I now when I did a course years ago was told we need a compression bandage of a certain type could not find 1 at chemist, so got something like and was ok.
