  1. I like to have at least 3 Army style field dressings. Most first aid kits lack a very useful bandage for a large bleeding wound. The Army style dressings can be tied in various different ways. US Army Field Dressing http://www.ahsrescue.com/p-1038-military-field-dressing.aspx And a CPR pouch hanging on my PFD: http://www.amazon.com/MASK-SHIELD-BARRIER-...8010080-9270834 Two good to have items. You can always do mouth to mouth and use t-shirts/towels in a pinch.
  2. Or during. BTW....up and running at the office now!
  3. 1, 2 (conscious but bleeding), 3. The best first aid kit in the world won't help unless you know how to perform 1st aid/CPR. I'm no EMT but could give a situation like the one above my best shot...even with no first aid kit. A t-shirt or towel would work in a pinch. The second patient may be able to apply direct pressure himself while you treat #1 (open the airway and get him breathing).
  4. Most first aid kits are inadequate. Knowing what to do is the big problem. Go take a course and get certified: American Red Cross http://www.redcross.org/portal/site/en/men...nextfmt=default Emergency First Repsonse http://www.emergencyfirstresponse.com/english/ Let's say you come across a boating accident, 1st person is not-breathing, unconscious and no other visible injuries, the 2nd got thrown out and has a prop hit to the leg-massive bleeding, the 3rd is unconscious but breathing and several small lacerations. Which one do you (your alone) give first aid to first???
  5. Your 150 probably won't even burn 25 gph at WOT. IF your aluminium base is in bad shape I'd upgrade to the stainless steel body, a 60 or 90 gph Racor, either metal or plastic bowl. I prefer clear plastic so I can keep an eye on water, debris and to see the fuel.
  6. That's a huge Vulkan boat. Vulkan awesome!
  7. I can't access ReelBoating.com at work, this is an outrage. What am I supposed to do all day long...Work?
  8. Reel Boating Tattoo Challenge...who's first???
  9. Good idea for a screen name and avatar, "Longshaft"
  10. Boating goal, not to end up on the local or national news. Fishing goal, slay large snook July-September. Purchase two 50w reels for wahoo trolling, catch Gulf wahoo. Add a couple more Spheros FB 14000's to my collection. Hook and catch more tarpon this year.
  11. I'd say number 1. But what do I know about photography?
  12. BS I call!!!! That clearly looks like 5.5 ft seas!
  13. Liferaft, Epirb or Power Buy? There was one pretty ugly "unauthorized" Power Buy thread on another site a few years back...want to hear the story?
  14. Kingair....your member 007. Shaken or stirred?
  15. Those 400 Yamaha's are throttle controlled by mental telepathy....you don't want me driving it. Nah....just refer them to thread #1.
