    Pulse Oxymeter ?

    I could ask the same question but replace 'pulse oxymeter' with Jetboil or Polycotton tarp, I would still get similar responses. :confused: So has anyone bought one online ?

    Online Map Overlay.

    Wheres the path is good but after midday it's often used up it's OS map allowance for the day. Bing has right down to 1:25k, really handy.

    Advice on living in a Static Caravan (AKA Tengu nesting box)

    My parent's grinds live in a fixed bed, hot and cold running water, on board shower, gas and electric blow heating touring caravan. Not a static. It's one you can tow about. They seem to be ok. They stay on a caravan club site all year. They get a long stay cheap rate. They can use the site...

    ICE details in IOS 8 Apple iPhone

    At the end of the day, the more info about a person on them, will help first responders. That's a fact. Ho hum.....

    ICE details in IOS 8 Apple iPhone

    If you have a medical condition then you may have a different view. Surely a small bracket notifying a passer by or first responder would help.

    ICE details in IOS 8 Apple iPhone

    Yes, but it's better than nothing. ICE as well is better.

    ICE details in IOS 8 Apple iPhone

    But a bracelet is the easiest thing for a passer by with no special equipment can read. Even if your not needing an ambulance or other emergency help, the ICE number could be called and that person can come and collect you. Most kids -I work in high school - do not wear a watch but have...

    ICE details in IOS 8 Apple iPhone

    Ok so no bracelet or necklace like a medialert, but an ICE detail in the phone. Good idea.

    Survival bag vs survival blanket in the mountains.

    I would suggest she carries a bothy bag. A two person one. If she gets cold or wet it's easily pulled over and setup for someone with cold hands. She can then setup other kit etc as she will have her bag right there. The trick is she will be totally protected form the elements while doing this...

    ICE details in IOS 8 Apple iPhone

    I'm doing a 2 Day emergency aid in the outdoors course, day 1 today, and this came up. Apparently it will still let you in to your locked phone and just let someone see the ICE number only. At the end of the day if I come across you lying on the ground unconscious and when doing my top to toe...

    Had a wander out of the wind here today. Was checking the canoe access for Peppermill Dam and checking some singletrack for mountain biking. The Forrestry commison have a useful map site so you can check who owns land and then decide on wether or not to get permission for group access...
