First Aid Essentials for Climbers - (Celox & Celox-A)
sse arb replied to hesslemount's topic in General chat
there is another option to celox it is just as good and was developed at the same time celox was primarily used for bullet wounds by the millitary and yes it is good the other option is a blood stopper called the h bandage with out a word of lie this wiil do the same job and unlike other blood stoppers you dont have to put bandage on bandage on bandage for a major bleed the h bandage is the only thing you will need and again its millitary the only problem with celox may be what if you think your doing the right thing and apply it to an unconcious casualty's wound and for some reason it proves to be depremental you can be sued so the h bandage is just as good and includes no law suit. -

there is a lot to be said for modern rigging techniques but equally a little knowledge is a dangerous thing and rigging is only as good as the grounds man the climber may be good but the system fails because of the lack of knowledge of the groundie all staff must be trained equally to make good safe use of all the different rigging and speedlining techniques

hi i climb using drt and have 2 swivels in my systems i find them to be a really good piece of kit i also use some in speedlining i give them a big thumbs up
