My bob/ghb 1st Aid Kit

[Trawlerman]

I've just catalogued my 1st Aid Kit and streamlined it to remove excess stuff that can go in my other one.

This is what I have. I think it's reasonably comprehensive for its size.

I have several 1st aid dressings and adhesive wound dressings in mine, my experience has been that when you need them you need more than one.

I know the reason you're carrying loctite superglue but it's definitely not the same as medical suturing glue; you might want to query it further. General sutures might be a better choice to carry

Something to keep the victim warm?



More pressure dressings?

Aspirin ? (Heart attack)

I favour nitryle(spl) gloves

A Sam splint or similar can be good to have too and another couple of triangular bandages

That's a very good point. I'll look into whether this stuff is suitable for that use. I'll also be looking out for some butterfly stitches. I think suturing is bit beyond my skill level - I have a 1st aid certificate but not for advanced stuff like that.

I do have a Silver Mylar Blanket in another pocket of my BOB/GHB so I can use that if need be.
I'll dig out the other bandages from my kit that contains spare stuff. I also have some aspirin in the cupboard that I can add in (takes no space at all).

Thanks for the link Andy. I knew about heart attack's but it's always good to recap every once in a while.

BTW, were probably not too far away. I'm about a mile from Wawne.

Definitely gloves, and lots of them - you may want to recruit bystanders to help, and it will be helpful to be able to give them gloves, as well as wearing them yourself.

Check. Got a packet of 20 around here somewhere that I can add in when I find them
