Addition to the first aid kit

[Grant209]

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.

Thanks for your post Grant. Have just ordered a combat Tourniquet as a result. Just hope we never need it. We always have clingfilm with us in our kitchen supplies. Hadn't thought of it as a first aid item .

I will refrain from getting on my soapbox about a pet issue of mine .... Wire Rope 'safety' barriers - hate them with a vengeance.

Yeah Cheers Grant, i also just ordered one for my kit. I like the Glad Wrap idea too as it is often in the drawers anyway.
