Hi guys,

I found this link while browsing and thought this would make a valuable addition to an anglers first aid kit. A little drastic but it does help to be prepared sometimes....

Bops,
unless people are trained, would not recommend quikclot.there is a lot of heat release-hyperthermic -reaction, and may cause more damage to viable tissue.Have used it and it works, but most times, short of a battlefield injury(yes, have seen those too) Many Emergency response personnel I have worked with or spoken to in US have a similar opinion...
Suggest pressure/packing with many layers of gauze/sponge/cloth and in case no fracture of a limb-elevation.In reality, we control major bleeds like this, even with bony damage...
recommend a 2" x 2" first aid book which I feel any outdoorsy layperson should make 'must read' for this purpose-Rustam has a copy.Would be happy to send you a copy if you can scan and put up here...just my 2 rupees!

Thanks for the advice about the Quick clot, Asif.

I haven't gotten myself a scanner yet. Prefer to use the digicam as a scanner for important scans.

Don't have a scanner but I could take pics and give the CD to Bops. However, before hosting it here, B will need to know if he would be infringing any copyright law.

I don't recall seeing one. The book is in the car but will check later.

Rustam

Hi Rusty,

I'll find a scanned pdf copy of an existing first aid manual and post it here. Don't bother with taking pics there's probably too many to do.

89 including the covers.

Mental note to self: In future check before volunteering.

Rustam

so, is there a copyright clause?

Afraid so.
