I’m currently staying in the south east but will be in the mountains of Colorado full time again soon.
Would it be better to take a WFR course where will be living and working in altitude and mountains? Or are the courses pretty much the same? I have time now so that is why I care…. But if courses are designed for the local elements I will wait
Thanks all
Hey everyone. I'm a CC Paramedic, W-EMT, SAR operator, and bike/ski patroller. I have full-sized personal trauma bags in my vehichle, but I realized I don't have a good, streamlined mini-kit for when I'm just out mountain biking off-duty.
I'm heading out on a big family MTB trip this week and want to throw a compact kit together. Ideally, I want it to fit in a medium Ziploc bag inside my CamelBak.
Here is my current list:
CAT TQ
Chest Seal
ABD Pad
Roller Gauze
Telfa
Med tape
Band-Aids
Small trauma shears
Pocket CPR mask
Nitrile gloves
Epi-Pens
NSAIDs
SAM Splint
Electrolyte mix / Gu
Cravat
This feels like way too much bulk for a trail ride, but it's also way less than I'm used to carrying on a shift.
Let me know if there is anything else I should bring, or what I should skip for space.
Thanks again!
