Experience with trees n chainsaws?

 

Yeah, 43 years of it.

 

Not in the UK of course, the trees are far too big there for a little bloke like me.

Well Jacamo,

 

definitely full of it, looks like 42 of those years are living in your ego.

[jomoco]

Even a cursory googling of UK chainsaw injury statistics kinda emphasizes my point.

It's also been my experience that the biggest burliest toughest lookin dudes?

 

Are often the first to feint into a blubbering fetal ball when gory blood n guts are on display up close n personal.

 

It's certainly an adrenaline rush that takes a while to come down from IME.

 

Shiny Bob that nicked his femoral with an 044 lived to tell the tale, barely. Last I heard he was happily flippin pizzas downtown. Big boy, scary light blue, cold Malamute eyes.

Jacamo,

No, but I have learned that it takes 4 healthy special ops groundies to lug around 240 lb accident victims on a stretcher!

 

It ain't like in the movies at all I'm tellin yu!

Being ex British army a tourniquet would be your only option in that instance also once applied stopping the shock and keeping the casualty calm is a better resource than trying to lift and move the casualty onto a stretcher then moving them on a stretcher towards an ambulance that will already be on its way to you. You could potentially do more harm than good moving them causing shock from the pain. It takes 6 men to carry a stretcher effectively with regular changes to keep the carriers fresh, unless you have morphine to hand the casualty will probably pass out from the pain of being moved, bad idea!! Battlefield 1st aid is a great skill to be taught for an instance like your suggesting and unless you are in an area which 1st response can not access you would not move them on a stretcher.

 

Also talking from 1st hand experience.

Shiny Bob's because he sported the Telly Savalas bald head way before others turned it into a craze.

 

Most assuredly an intimidating lookin fellow!

Sounds about right. He did pass out in my passenger seat enroute to the ER, let go of the tourniquet and start pumping blood again, until I shifted into second gear and used my right hand to cinch him up tight again, hold in place with one hand and steer with the other.

 

As fate would have it that particular day n time? North Torrey Pines Road south was being re paved that day and was closed. So I straight across and directly into the parking lots of the adjoining neighbors of the ER, busted through their hedges n dividers n lawns to finally make the ER, still in second, and movin at a fair clip. I was less than two miles from the ER, at a condo, in La Jolla, luckily.

That's what I thought but apparently you only need jacamo and one of his black ops mates.

 

Who knew?
