    Flaming Ventile

    Here is the long term update, I've had my smock for the best part of a year with several good soakings under it's belt - it's performed exactly as Ventile should do, and no longer has the impregnation in it and it acts as good old untreated Ventile. It's been near several fires with a few embers...

    A Warning Re Quikclot

    "I will use my own judgement when applying first aid to myself, my family, and indeed anyone else" An interesting comment, as an ex RAF SAR Medic things we were taught about is the concept of 'invasive procedures' and medical assualt' whilst medical practitioners have a degree of lattitude...

    Flaming Ventile

    UPDATE I had a call from Mark at Ventile, he's been in touch with the dye manufacturer and the manufacturer of the flurocarbon impregnation - neither have had any recent changes in process that could account for my smock, he's tried burning a piece from a recent batch and it's not happening and...

    Flaming Ventile

    Johnboy: "So if a customer complains about a 5p sized hole being burnt in a jacket from a stray ember a jacket made from a material you never said was 'fire' proof what level of 'customer service' is reasonable to give????" I think a start would be give a straight answer to a straight...

    Flaming Ventile

    Johnboy: "I do tend to agree with you, my perception of Ventile’s many miraculous properties was that it was generally more resistant than nylon based garments to sparks and small embers around a camp fire. " Which begs the question, if Ventile no longer has this particular quality...

    Flaming Ventile

    From what I was told by Snowsled the Ventile they use is genuine Ventile sourced from Ventile Fabrics (Talbot Weaving) this was confirmed in my conversation with Mike from Ventile Fabrics. My 'gripe' with Snowsled is that in my conversation regarding the problem i encountered is that they were...

    Flaming Ventile

    Not Sure if it should go here or in the kit section... A little tale of a flame and a warning. I've used Ventile smocks going back to my ex RAF days, and others I've known have used Ventile garments of one kind or another, one feature that we all like is that unlike synthetics around a fire...

    Don't put all your scouts in one basket...

    jackcbr, at the risk of going off-topic are in the H&S industry by any chance? Just wondering as it's a string in bow and the looks I get when I tell people that I go into the woods with knives and axes and camp up - 'But you're elf 'n' safety aren't you - isn't that dangerous?'

    how many of us are first aid trained?

    I tend to go with DRABC - purely on the basis that we ended up retrieving casualties who were very keen to be rescuers but missed that there was something that caught the original casualty out. First rule - Don't become a casualty yourself! Slight digression, as a 10 year old I did my...

    2010 election & changes to knife law

    CYNIC MODE ON: Why take time to sort out a reasoned response (and be castigated by the opposition and the press) when you can rush out ill thought out, ill targeted and ineffective legislation that panders to the screams of 'something must be done' ? CYNIC MODE OFF

    2010 election & changes to knife law

    Minotaur, I'm still trying to get a copy of the met report - I contacted my local MP's to see if they could help and ask what thier positions were on knife crime and the poor (IMO) manner in which the law is being implemented - all basically mouthed the party line. So very sad, when I mentioned...
