DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Most civilians don’t have the benefit of an employer provided first aid, hands on training, nor periodic refreshers.

And please don’t use a tourniquet if someone rolls their truck and splits their head open.

You might not ever use the first aid training, a fire extinguisher, or half the recovery gear we carry. That’s OK.


Knowledge is never a bad thing, and calling first aid classes a “waste of money” is shameful.

 

There's some people I wouldn't mind using a tourniquet for bloody nose

 

Heavys? I have all-poo standards looking for something else.

 

You can have them if you need them.

I’m interested, but need to finish my bumper stuff first.

 

Depends on a few things, we'll see. It's fun to fight over things that arent even for sale yet though.

Well i hope someone would not wrap a tourniquet around someones neck, unless you are trying to murder that person... haha.

I would say that some "technique" is probably needed to be taught so that you do not further the injury. Also need to be aware of blood born illnesses...

Honestly im just curious as to what they are to to teach @ETXTacoma over a 2 day class. And since @ETXTacoma got his tent he has gone into full overland mode! haha. jk bro

 

The CLS classes I teach are around 8 hours. They don’t cover everything, but enough to delay (preventable) death until I can get there. I cover TQ usage, quick clot gauze, trauma bandages, various airway adjuncts, CPR, and when to use/not use each. How to spot and treat/prevent hot/cold weather injuries.
Didactic and hands on.

If the group is motivated to learn, you can do a lot in two days.

 

Yeah but this is a wilderness first aid class, what is different from that class and the one you teach. Is it just the ABCs? (airway, breathing, circulation)... also I thought google was the way to go.... haha jk

And i agree that knowledge is power.

 

I’m literally standing right here

 

Amsoil for me. With the annual dues it's still cheaper that buying otc.

 

Guys im about to lock down the meetup. Its going to be Sunday at noon, but which twin peaks do you want to go to??

 

These are not the newest style, so I don’t think they were classified hvy/light, but they do not have the add a leaf as I never felt I needed it

 

The Irving location is having 105.3 the fan broadcasting that day, and will accept reservations for 10 or greater. Maybe @Suprajim54 can give details on the location, I’ve never been to that one.

 

Fort Worth

 

Haha. Ok i see where this is going...

There is now a poll to vote on which twin peaks to go to.

 

I don’t think there’s one in Arlington. Irving is in the middle of the two, just don’t know much about that location. You just picking random spots lmao.

 

irving sucks, ft worth has the best scenery.

Im gonna throw an alternative since the parking at all of them suck esp since theres a playoff game. Cigar bar in Ft Worth.

 

ok ill fix it....
