This is excellent. I'm teaching some middle school Girl Scouts about hiking and common first aid needed on hiking trips, and this will definitely work well for them.

A lot of surgeons hate super glue in wounds because they usually have to cut it out as it can't be removed from the flesh or skin. Having a good pressure bandage, like an Israeli Bandage or ETD, can literally be a lifesaver on both minor and major bleeding, plus they are stretchy so can be used to secure a splint if needed

it would be nice to talk about what's involved in being tested for taking a course like that what is involved how much knowledge do you have to know and how much do you have to retain the deal would have passed theI don't test well but I'm really good at doing what needs to be done to fix the problem

We certainly be greatshowing how to actually stabilize a break in your leg or like your shoulder that cord wrapped around the body stabilizing your sling I can imagine that would cut into your rib pretty bad and uncomfortably expecially if you also had damage to your ribs and your arm
