The zip goes to about the waist. As a jacket the desired length is adjusted by the bottom securing drawcord. So you wouldnt unzip it but move drawcord. But to answer the essential question janne, YES you can draw up to knees and walk. Thats how I use it most. So great for working around wet...

We are all different in heat Erbewurst. I found it fine to mid 25s on rough moorland moving quickly Sauna any higher temperature (30c+) or working hard. eg climbing That was with it in "long jacket" configuration. Its relatively easy to vent with big front zip and the arms are retractable. and...

Ive had one for about 5 years. Got for a specific purpose (static stalking when raining), which has already been mentioned. For my application its ideal for lying for 8-10 hours on wet heather in the rain, sitting in a high-seat or medic post for similar time-frames. Very waterproof. Top to toe...

Well done Tinkypete! Im always asked "What is the best First Aid Kit"? The answer is always the same...The one you have with/on you! Theres no point leaving a full pseudo-paramedic kit in the car if your camp is 5 miles into the woods. You may be incapable of reaching it. Most of my (many) kits...

Aye Toddy I'm up for some of this action. I won't say why. Any idea when though? I'm "away" a lot. Dsm

Assuming by field we are referring to bushcraft field not battlefield where tactical protocols are entirely different to both civilian medical and layman first aid protocols. The protocol is always to remove the boot if possible. The check for "circulatory compromise" must actually be done...

In the UK LDA Lyme Disease Action have very accurate and informative free leaflets etc available from their website too www.LymeDiseaseAction.org.uk Very helpful folk and also run a patient help email line for those concerned about bites and ongoing treatments. Dont despair, be aware! Ive...

Yes Janne. The packed z gauze expands into the cavity and applys direct pressure to slow/stop the blood flow at the point of the bleed to allow clotting to take place. Pressure on top of the packing , manually or with a suitable pressure dressing will likely still be required. Avoiding the...

Got this back from manufacturer Thank you for your interest in RevMedx and XGAUZE. XGAUZE does not contain any hemostatic agents, it is purely pressure from the minisponges that stops bleeding. I hope this answers your question, please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any further...

Janne, There are lots of milspec items packaged in lots of ways. Some in hard-case "coffins" or "pelicans" but yes, generally they are still vacuum packed to reduce bulk. in tough plastic with bright tear-points for easy access. Unlike "cheapshitshop" or even hospital equivalents. Robust in the...

Sorry Broch, there is absolutely no criticism here from me. I have not disagreed with you ref "ointments" and First Aid at Work courses. The point I was making was If for example you are going bushcrafting in 5-layer canopy Philippine jungle A "no ointment" FAW course will not cut it (sorry)...

Agree with both Ken and Janne here. Clean is good Sterility is difficult to achieve in the outdoor environment anywhere. Probably why we dont have "Al Fresco" hospitals! The cleaner something (injury or dressing) is to begin with obviously helps with longer term care and outcomes. Military grade...

But to put that into perspective folks: There has still not been ANY successful crown or civil prosecution of a First Aider under SARaHa legislation . The real dillema of a First Aid at Work courses suitability for the remoter outdoor bushcraft activities lies in the FAW protocals themselves...

Janne If you mean the Celox A applicator, yes I have, Very effective, still needs pressure though. It contains the normal Celox haemostatic granules (not expanding sponges). The syringe applicator enables the MEDIC to get the granules to the point of the bleed more effectively than pouring it in...

This is an expanding gauze clearly intended for wound packing. The z folds are to ease and speed up the packing process. Impressive expansion. As a former Combat Medic, current Offshore and Paramedic, like Janne I have used many variations/brands of similar products.It is unclear from sales bumf...
