Done, more outdoors than bushcraft alone answers as the 2 tend to merge together for me.

All done

Fantastic, thank you to everyone who has answered so far, lots of really interesting responses. Some of the elaborations in the "other: please specify" sections make you wince slightly. I am assuming that if people have filled in the survey they also survived the injuries.

Collectively get well soon!

Thank you for your feed back.

I carry a first aid kit in my handbag[1]. But the survey isn't about the everyday world, I am interested in when people are out in the woods/bush/etc...

Consider also, if I cut myself while shopping in Sainsbury's there is a first aid kit and trained first aiders that can offer assistance (or I could just buy some plasters). If I do so in the woods, I'm on my own.

I understand your questions relate to bushcraft but having access to a first aid kit all the time is better, last time I had to stop massive amounts of blood loss the only thing I had was the clothes I was wearing, so when I ended up in hospital half naked it seemed a bit embarrassing. Funny how a just playing in the the park can turn out different than you expected.
You dont need a knife or an axe for things to turn ugly very fast. Even a first aid kit in Sainsbury's can take time to arrive.

sorry if I sound negative.

Great survey, I'd be really interested to see the information that comes out of this.

Cheers,

[Bishop]

Done - It's kinda funny but when you tot up all the things that could and occasionaly have gone wrong on an a field trip or local bimble then what we do for a hobby should really be considered an extreme sport.

 

[Tiley]

Cardiac arrest????

I'm sure you could have thought of something even more serious.

 

[Clouston98]

Done! I funnily haven't been injured at all really from harvesting berries to knife and axe work- it's football I can't seen to play! Anyway, I think only a small first aid kit is needed, a small one with mainly plasters, wipes and a few bandages, a life systems one, works well for me!

 

[Haggis]

Done,,,

I can't remember ever injuring myself in the slightest in the bush; I'm always extra cautious when "out there".

It's why I don't like those heart rate monitors you get on some watches. The last thing you want is the extra worry of the death tone as yer heart stops in the middle of now-where!
