    Thanks for the update Ogri...not sure I understand why later posts are appearing before earlier ones, but it's not the end of the world. Thanks too, to you and the moderating team for regulating the forum. I'd guess it's a pretty thankless task at time, but very necessary. All the best, Bob

    Which is best?

    I just came across this a brief guide to haemostatic agents (link) at www.realfirstaid.co.uk. And they have some more advice about FA kit here (link). I've been on anti-platelet medication and had the greatest difficulty in staunching a bleed from a cut heel. Being on my own, it was...

    Hello from Surrey

    Hi I'm Bob and I came across your forum when researching gear, mainly clothing. Then I had a look at the whole thing and thought that it's about time I joined. Technical clothing is a bit of a thing for me as I really don't need all its capabilities except for my main hobby, which is...
