    Webbing advice please.

    I have used it in both setups, and found it comfortable either way. This may sound silly, but if you don't like the small strap digging into your shoulder on the respirator haversack, cut the ends of an old sock and put that on the strap. It may seem stupid, but if it works, it isn't stupid.

    My large/group first aid kit.

    No offence taken Sniper. A good thing about this forum is that people can correct you on the facts. And yes, you are right about me being in the same mindset as you. :)

    Global Warming

    Personally, I feel that if we don't adapt, nature will make us adapt. The population is one of the biggest problems that we are facing ,but it seems to me that population increase is largely ignored by the politicians of the world. The UK has a huge population for our size and something has...

    My large/group first aid kit.

    Thanks for the warring on the legal thing, I better go and inform some people that actually did break the law with what they did. Perhaps there was another factor that I didn't hear about in the court case. Thanks again for the warning.

    BCUK iPhone app

    It costs £59 for a years worth of being able to create ,test, publish and sell an iPhone app. Best of all, you can download the development kit before you even spend the £59, so you can create the app, pay the £59 and publish it straight away!

    My large/group first aid kit.

    I got it from Becketts Army Surplus in Norwich. They had one of them in store and I bought it, it was only £36, considering they are normally sell at twice that price for the same thing in the same condition at other places where I have seen them online.

    My large/group first aid kit.

    Administering it is illegal, however giving them paracetamol that they can take if they wish is not. Its a legal loophole, but I have seen it stand up in court. I have been on public duties (especially the Royal Norfolk Show and the Worstead Festival)where members of 2 main voluntary first aid...

    My large/group first aid kit.

    The doxycycline is for my own use only, as I take it everyday anyway (On doctor's orders). Paracetamol and ibuprofen are over-the-counter medicines and most people are aware of the risks and how to use them, however as I stated in my previous comment they are only for me, my family and my...

    My large/group first aid kit.

    The medicine I have can be administered by anyone, although they would have to know the right doses and time periods. I suppose my kit is more of a medical kit and not a first aid kit though. I don't like/use Tourniquets for that reason, elevating the limb tends to help enough in combination...

    Thanks for the reply and suggestions! I have some gauzes lying around somewhere, i will have to see if I can find them. I have sutures that stick onto each side of the wound and pull it together, but i called them Temporary Wound Closures to avoid confusion. I will add some aspirin, but I...
