The policy, rules and myths of first aid are debated as much as the best bushcraft knife.
Traditional first aid books list a lot of do’s and don’ts and rules. Modern first aid is much more based on what is appropriate in the circumstances.
Mouth to mouth is still part of CPR, but if you...
The law hasn’t changed, nor do you need a reason for carrying a non locking UK legal knife.
There are of course situations and locations where knives are prohibited by rules or unwise such as a nightclub.
I’m not a fan of this current belief that the police are out to fit everyone up, nor do...
Plenty of temperate smocks about for reasonable prices.
Sizing wise the numbers are height and chest in CM or as close to it.

In the UK that’s part of the issue being discussed.
