I,ve noticed there hasn't been a lot of posts on first aid.
Not wanting to be the harbinger of bad news but - i have had a lot of dealings with wilderness first aid - but most important thing even more than plasters and aspirin is - communication.
No doubt where most people stalk phone signals are rare !!
Just a reminder to people to have a plan - take plenty ammo (not hundreds of rounds obviously!!) but often gun shots are the only things that can be heard from a distance.
Take a whistle - and a basic first aid kit.
Most importantly - make sure people know when you will be back - and make sure you tell them you are !!
Started a rescue plan last week only to find the lad had decided to go to the pub for a meal and not told anyone - then stayed to watch the live band !! - DOH!!
If you are back from a stalk - Make sure people know - Please !!
