Here is a simple skin avulsion, something that could easily happen on a trip. What would you do? How would you address the wound? What supplies would you need to properly care for this wound? Do you carry enough supplies to care for this wound for more than one day? In this case I just...

@overlandbound.md Mostly my Camel Trophy Defender 110 but working on content related to first aid, trauma care, and medical issues while overlanding. You can also check out the “On Call With Chris” videos which are basically me answering questions while on call. If there is a topic or question...

I can work on that one! We’ve been busy knocking out a few of the On Call With Chris vids and some testing of tourniquets. Ill try to get it done this month.

Ah the water crossing isn’t that bad [emoji854] That’s with the truck in off road height plus another almost 2 inches of lift using suspensions rods. I think I just got lucky to be honest. It was definitely deeper than the air intakes on the sides. Had a good bow wave going. It’s a fun trip...

I’m interested

Sorry i'm a little late to the party. This is a great question and the standards of care are changing. I agree with what everyone has said, backboards and C collars are going away. They can cause pressure sores and other issues besides being really uncomfortable. If the patient is able to...

@OverlandAFar Excellent point. I made an Instagram post about burns but haven’t had the time to write one up for here. Hopefully in the next few weeks I’ll have a few posts done. Burns, immediate care/stabilization vs prolonged care/transport, trauma kit vs basecamp first aid kit vs boo boo...

@Fozzy325 Excellent suggestions and we are definitely planning a whole series of videos and classes which will address many topics. Suggestions for content are encouraged and welcomed.

@slomat Yes, that is muscle exposed at the bottom of the wound. As for the bleeding, most of the smaller arteries will actually close due to spasm of the muscle in the walls. Once they relax you can get more bleeding. The veins tend to ooze in this location. The major vessels were spared which...

Hello Everyone! In addition to the trauma scenarios were the goal is to practice going through a full assessment of the scene and patient, I will be putting out threads with specific issues, like this one that will address a large open wound. Part of the post is to show you what you...

Just to close the loop on this one, slomat knocked it out of the park. Assessing the scene, following a simple, standard approach to assessing the patient, and then treating as able and evacuate as needed. These scenarios are to get you thinking about what you would do when you don't know what...

T.shack: What’s out of date? You may not need to replace it.

@RXH I’m going to have to respectfully disagree with your advice to not put pressure directly on a wound to a finger/digit. Although what you describe may occur, it would be rare and the most beneficial location to apply pressure is directly at the source of bleeding. Putting pressure higher up...

Neither, ran the prescout for the 1990 Himalaya event which ended up not happening due to a coup. Was driven by Ian Chapman.

Yeah, it does look a little wrong, moved it to the 110 and it looks better. With the tent and slimline rack the FR table fits perfectly.

It doesn’t really stick out on either side. This is attached to the Frontrunner Slimline II rack. Also doesn’t really overhang on the front.

Hello everyone! I had a great time at the rally and hope that you enjoyed my classes. For those of you who attended, thank you. Also I have sent the email with the presentation slides as a keynote. Makes me think I need to resend as PDF...oops. If you put your email down and didn't get my...
