I totally agree. Someone doing their best but getting it wrong is I think the essence of the Good Samaritan act. And it’s great that that is recognised and there are laws protecting individuals. As for arterial blood flow, that would be covered on any first aid course. It’s one of the main...

You’re not wrong but I would argue that the framework that the course is based around should give you all the tools you would need for any eventuality. Provided you work within the remit of the course, and the standard that you are assessed to of course. And if you work outside of that then a...

I believe the Good Samaritan act covers any trained medical professional which includes first aiders. Maybe just the providers I have gone to recently, they seem to be making more of a point of it now than I can remember.

Not to my knowledge but it is something that gets mentioned on first aid courses and is becoming a growing concern particularly in the outdoor industry.

Sorry, I’m not entirely convinced this is a good idea… I think if people want to learn medical protocols the best thing they can do is go through a registered training provider and attend a real life course. Even though you mention qualified personnel, if someone ends up in the worst thinkable...

I shouldn’t have to add… Yes, it’s obviously a cervinae. But what kind?!

Incorrect!

Just a native. No Komodo dragons around Peterborough I’m aware of..

Ok a little pop quiz then… I spotted these whilst out walking in Peterborough yesterday. Just a little fun for people to guess who left this behind! :-)

Very cool. It’s a plant I seldom see these days tbh. Not sure whether geographical location has anything to do with that but it would be great to spread it around like this!

So a potassium drip and plenty of Guinness should see you right?

IIRC the earliest examples of direct blood transfusions were from the napoleonic war. I remember seeing paintings in which the donor was placed in an elevated position in order to increase blood pressure. Of course remembering that if someone is in need of transfusion then their blood pressure...

Option G - Get a pet wolf?

They don’t seem to care about that round here tbh…

If you fancy a trip to Africa sometime?… https://woodland-ways.co.uk/products/game-ranger-experience?srsltid=AfmBOoqJZ8IkfX3jmZxhDXb53Xu4iqqzS-PNE8_cUU14py-XnPqP4k4Y

What is the sleeve length? Do you mind measuring?

100%! There’s hope one might pop up second hand sometime.

If you think about a maple dropper tip, the diameter is only about 8mm. It makes far more sense to take a few of those with you and just let the holes do their thing once you’ve finished. That is if your thinking of collecting anything more than a cup full as you say.

I sometimes use a drill as a hammer… or a wrench, pliers, screwdriver, block of wood, bandsaw… Basically anything as a hammer! :burnout:

That sounds awesome! I couldn’t imagine fishing from an oil rig. In my mind they’re hundreds of meters above the water are they not? Definitely get some photos I for one as very intrigued.
