First Aid

Bleeding, breaks, burns, cold, heat, bites, and the kit.

Burns and blisters First Aid Cooling a burn properly, covering it, and stopping a blister before it ends the trip. Carbon monoxide poisoning First Aid The gas you cannot see or smell. How it gets into a tent, a hut, a truck or a boat, the signs, and what to do. Cuts and infection First Aid Cleaning a knife or axe cut properly in the field, closing and covering it, and knowing the signs that it has gone bad. Frostbite First Aid Catching frozen skin early, warming it the right way, and the one rule about when not to thaw it. Hypothermia First Aid Spotting it and turning it around before it takes the decisions away. Splinting a break First Aid Holding a broken bone or a bad sprain still enough to move on it. Stopping bad bleeding First Aid What you do in the first two minutes when the blood will not stop.
