Just looking for feedback:
Have just spoken to a company regarding a first aid course to possible run at HU next year. Basically its a motorbike course that we'll design to apply to remote travel.

Errr No ... a 1 day course is not long enought for remote area care... that is a 3 day course here .. I've already email grant with this but ..

Get them to do a 'sales' presentation - 1 hour .. cover
helmet removal (you need 3 people - the victum err patient, and two first aiders).
basic DRABC .. or what ever the procedure is in your country.
And what types of courses they offer.


Maybe a second one on the first aid kit ... ? I'm changing mine to one that will hang from the handle bars/tree - better access, less problem getting to the thing I want.

The remote area course .. well first aid courses cover the frist 30 minutes before the ambo arives .. in some places there is no ambo so you need training on what to do past that 30 minutes .. to a number of DAYS.. and you won't get all the info in a one day course. Here the basic motorcycle course takes one day ... and covers burns, gravel rash, amputations ... you get the idea - it is full on. The remote area one is .. well more ... toileting ... transport .. monitoring ... long term reactions ..

I'm mostly a solo traveller .. but you still need to know what to do .. the 'helpers' may not know what to do - so you provide the instruction.. not ideal but better than the alternative

Other rambelings

If you alocate one (or two) tracks for in/out then it will get very muddy with the rain in those tracks...

Dogs - if you bring it, it is your problem not mine.

You are spoilt for meetings .. here in OZ the is so far only one .. on the east coast .. a very long way from the west coast ... so if you want one in the south use the spanish one! It is a good excuse to get away...

Noisy neigbours? Ear plugs... I even use them at home when they relay the balist on the train line .. now that is noisy!
