First Aid Course and Essential Kit

I finished a Mountain First Aid Course yesterday with CRT Medical (www.crtmedical.co.uk). It was a very cool location and a very knowledgeable ex-army medic, Russ, who was instructing us. Good course and one of the cheaper ones I found.

If you're looking to put together a first aid kit be sure to include these essentials:

• A pair of Tuff Cuts
• A couple of decent long crepe bandages
• A Sam Splint or it's equally good cheaper cousin the Anaconda Splint
• An Emergency Care Bandage (E.C.B.)
• Several pairs of Nitrile Gloves (that fit your hands!)
• Knowledge of how to use the above.

All items and more available from the CRT Medical Shop.
