also updating my fire starting kit for camping, all good fun
What tools you using?
mowers, hedge cutters, brush cutters, chainsaws, all petrol can you tell i'm a gardener
also all the hand tools that go with the job too my first aid kit is set up for splinters to trauma
I got a natty little ferro rod gadget to go on my key ring, it's all inside a metal tube with a screw striker on one end and the rod unscrews from the other end. Seems to spark quite nicely and looks tough enough to take a beating on my keys.
Even come with a spare O ring. Not bad for a couple of quid.

Look into CAT (Combat application torniquets
Celox gauze
Israeli and oales field dressings
And oales blast dressings
If your waving chainsaws about
And obviously the first aid training
Correct PPE IS WELL WORTH THE EXPENCEif you haven't got the boots / spats gloves and jacket
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong
Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine
Hi Andy
I have most of the above and full safety clothing, learnt my lesson when i had a fight with a hedge trimmer (i lost)
luckily i had my kit on hand and was able to stem the bleed myself. you can never have enough training as accidents do happen
thanks for the list above

Alas last night's heavy rain penetrated my defences! Time for waterproofing plan B!

You got a link bro ???
Here you go mate. I've no connection with the seller.
I have one of those little ferro rods, it's actually a copy of a more expensive one, they do sell spare rods that screw into them, haven't checked if they fit in the cheapie one, but I think the refills are more expensive than a whole new cheap one so it's pretty irrelevant really.
I quite like it, I don't like the striker but for emergency use it does the job and they're a nice neat little package.
