    It's great stuff, great for sprains and strains . . . especially around joints, as it bonds onto itself and keeps the tension for over much longer period of time then your standard heavy crape bandages.

    I don't use them in My Event Kits for cost reasons, but I do have about 5 or so for personal use, and do recommend them to Participants of Rider Down and Remote Area First Aid Training Course I do, as once you apply them you generally don't need to reapply them.

    Another item I recommend to those who visit Off the Beaten Tracks and remote travel is the Combat Tourniquet - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Combat-T...frcectupt=true

    Quick and easy to apply to stop major life threatening bleeds in an Emergency.

    As I do a lot of Charity Motorcycle Rides, I carry 4 in my Event Kit on the bike . . . nasty what a guard rail can do.

    I also always carry a Roll of Cling Wrap / Glad Wrap as part of my Burns Kit in my truck as well. Very good for dressing burns - sterile, non stick, transparent (to visually monitor the injury) and quick and easy to apply.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
