    Or you can get a micro wedge from honeys for less than a tenner, and attach it with a retractable keyring lanyard!

    Nah, Bronn is a sell sword... i think he'll be heading for the side with the dragons...

    You hoped they were? What's wrong with you!?

    Really though Jerome was ready to kick it last night...

    For a cheap and effective lanyard you can use a hitch with a cheap micro pulley to tend it. Don't need to buy a sewn eye to eye hitch, just tie your own. Will be a good starting point. Invest in "the tree climbers companion" by Jeff Jepsen, a wealth of knowledge in there to get you started.

    don't think I won't go through the extra effort for that special someone mate...

    nice to hear or another cling film user. I've heard that anything between the helmet webbing and shell is a bad idea as that's kind of the "crumple zone". I don't know how true that is, it makes more sense than any inaccessible pouch attached to your harness. To be honest I'd be interested if anyone could unwrap and apply any israeli bandage with its two layers of shrink wrap under a heavy bleed.

    I reckon that's it in a nutshell Tom. I'm a simple bloke so the app was perfect for me, everything I needed and nothing I didn't. There's no doubt that the new site is much more comprehensive, but it's been so long since i used the website is have found the old one strange, the new one is a big jump. Its not stopping me though. I'll be glad when the app comes out so I can just click on an icon and then I can start abusing people.

    Makes sense mate, you can pick up a minor first aid kit which is pretty comprehensive for next to f all. It's the "when it hits the fan" kit which I want and hope not too use. Are there any every day items which people carry? I've mentioned cling film as a good idea, duct tape is another one...

    Imagine trying to apply loose granules from 70' in the wind. What doesn't go in your eyes will vanish into the wind. Its not practical. The gauze won't go anywhere but the affected area, and is much easier to remove by the surgeons too. hadn't considered that, but makes sense. Its just far more efficient from what I can see, celox is one of the game changers in trauma first aid, but it fires nothing if it vanishes in the wind!

    I would have thought enough to treat 2 casualties would be enough. I'd be looking at 2 celox (gauze not powder), 2 israeli dressings, 2 cats etc, along with other handy stuff. Cling film is a real handy thing to have. It's a bandage, burn dressing and more

  21. Joe Newton
    I remember him. As i recall he monopolized the last thread with a constant closed minded rhetoric and far fetched stories of emergency tracheotomies performed with an 020 and speeding through peoples back yards in a shortcut to a&e. I hope this doesn't happen here, I've no desire to debate the finer points of "primum non nocere"

    So I'm looking at creating myself a specific first aid kit to keep in my truck. I'm only a subby climber so it shouldn't really be necessary, but I've noticed that quite a few people have inadequate kits (the Halfords type) for our line of work, and would be interested to great what some of you use. The Arb Aid kit looks good but they won't sell it without taking part in their training. I'm looking at a tough box to store the bits in, with the necessary trauma items stored inside. this will be for serious incidents only, with a minor kit kept in the truck as well for the less serious incidents. I look forward to hearing your suggestions.

    I reckon the problem isn't really with the software but more to do with its target audience. At the risk of pigeon holing all tree cutters were probably not the most tech savvy of industries. We like what we know and use the same tools every day to do the job. We like familiarity. On the flip side of I'd just spent copious amounts of time and money modernising this site I'd feel pretty unimpressed about having to hold peoples hands and justify the upgrade. I reckon if people tried getting to grips with it for a while on a desktop they'd soon be comfortable with it. I'm looking forward to the app but this site is slowly making sense to me.

    Pretty sure the ropeguide retrieves better too due to the cam releasing on retrieval. Can't comment on the difference between pulley and a ring as its been so long since I used a ring based saver.

    I've been using the werewolf boots. Very comfy and hard wearing, mine are about 3 years old, but not worn every day. Don't wear them in the winter though, they're too cold. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
