Well I do work in an office so I hope to never have to use what I will learn. But that doesn't invalidate me getting the training. After all though the St John's Ambulance I'll be qualified to be a first aider UK wide as well as in the workplace. That's not to be sniffed at

Are you doing the QCA certificate?


Dont get me wrong you could call on your skills anywhere i also came across a overturned tanker lorry on my way home the other month on a quiet road it gave the confidence to go and help where i probably wouldnt before (i was the first to stop) The trainer also covered a "decent" 999 call what to give how to give it to prevent a garbled spewing of random chatter

LOCATION Road names / numbers and landmarks

INJURIES (number of and type and what you have done (mention your a first aider it saves them talking you through things like they would with joe public although they will help and advise if you want)

ASSOCIATED HAZARDS . (in case of tanker fuel leak risk to traffic and it was smoking ----- Bingo fire service and police also called by ambulance)

We bit the bullet and filled our van up to the brim with diesel...cost £120 but gives us a range of 500+ miles. Resolved to keep the tank full from now on rather than running on fumes!

Finally got my hands on some wool NHS ambulance blankets, one for the car and one for my Bushcraft gear.

Doing a trial run of heating my flat just using the bioethanol fireplace and candle heaters. It looks so far that 2L of bioethanol + 40 tea lights is the minimum for a day of flat heating.
