Status Updates From The Backpacker's Field Manu...

Done with illnesses 🙌🏻

Yikes any level of humidity makes Virginia summer dangerous ⚠️ How did we survive cross-country… Noting down that rehydration solution and activated charcoal are good ones for the first aid pack. Will buy Todd an Extractor for his bee sting reactions…

Covered cold challenge therapies. Not that we have many of those temperatures out here in Kenya… but good reminders on treatment for rehydration

Splint a replaced tooth with dental floss? This I gotta see :: searches YouTube ::

A blister is actually a second-degree burn caused by friction 🤔

Just started highlighting in this book, and it really is essential for retaining things. No reducing fracture-dislocations, how to suspect a brain injury vs. spine injury vs. mild concussion. Some may find graphic but I find this super practical

Yikes splinting techniques are complicated. Good to remember the basics, like maintaining gentle traction for long(er) periods and immobilizing surrounding joints

Remembered that tourniquets are bad, but tips on wound dressing with layers, pressure points, and swelling were good reminders for more frequent injuries
