If my memory servets me correctly, Stew has been involved heavily in training MRT across UK and developing their methods and procedures for casualty handling and evac in remote and rural locations. His courses are attended by keepers, foresters, stalkers, rural workers, and he really has a sense of what people get up to in the outdoors and the real world experience to teach this.
There will be plenty of members of this forum who have attended CA First Aids’ courses

Does trauma/ cat tourniquet training.
Edit to say too slow
In short you have to try for their loved ones as if you do nothing you have to live with that thought.
Ronin course in SA
Yeah, you keep going but have to have some perspective if/when you fail

Hey @roaring_stag It’s a Kifaru tail gunner with a HPG belt.
Keeps my roe sack, med kit, gralloch kit and bits and bobs in. Also got my Kifaru gunbearer on the belt to carry the rifle.
The Marsupial bino harness is attached to the same setup mate.

Join the ACF! Well that's how come I have it, but it is a recent addition. I was told during the course they were hoping to be teaching the cadets by next year. The ACF used to use St John's iirc for First aid awards. They have their own accredited awarding body now which makes it easier for us to teach/certify as an organisation.
Not only that but you never know, the next casualty might be the first to survive that scenario. At least you gave a chance of that, doing nothing because nobody's recovered previously wouldn't sit well with me either.
I got caught out with that one - its now with me . I have a second in the truck , opening up the argo in the event of an accident and finding its gone without being replaced isnt good either

Almost identical to my own
I have just completed my FTACC (First Aid, Trauma and Critical Care) refresher with Sandstone Communications. They will tailor the course to suit your needs and it is primarily scenario based, rather than death-by-powerpoint. It is delivered by ex-Forces and ex-Services personnel.
I have done a lot of such courses over the last twenty years and I can say for sure that this was the most comprehensive and valuable course that I have done.
I believe that they also have agreement from Bushwear to start stocking their trauma kits, which are very well put together.
K
A Gen7 CAT, 4" Israeli Bandage, Celox Z-Fold, a Sharpie and a couple of Cyalumes immediately to hand in my bino pouch.
A comprehensive trauma kit in my backpack / roe sack (including more FFD's, an additional CAT, chest seals, tampons, Celox granules and gauze, trauma shears, a SAM Splint, smoke marker, Cyalumes, blizzard blanket etc)
A first responder kit in the vehicle with the usual plasters, bandages, ambulance dressings, gauzes, sterile solutions, steri-strips, eye pads, burn dressings, finger splints, pulse oximeter, BP cuff.
Outwith stalking, with the number of driven days I attend in various capacities (and bearing in mind the general demographic of game shooters) I am considering an AED also...
More important than any kit, other than a mobile phone, however is the knowledge of how to use it.

An important addition is to carry a PLB unit when hunting here as some parts are rather remote. Its very easy to be 10 k`s off road and doing a fetlock isn't a good idea.

Thank **** we don’t need that here……
I don’t carry zilch on the stalk, often thought I should.
I figure it’s either going to be very minimal, thorn, scratch, or very major, gunshot, knife wound.
The first can wait till I get back to the truck, which in fairness is never very far away, the second, hell I don’t want to think about that but guessing I wouldn’t make it unless I could stem the bleed with belt/ripped parts of clothing.
Truck has a very comprehensive kit for most major and minor trauma, including tourniquets, celox granules and gauzes, bandages, eye care kit and small wound cover like dressing and plasters.
I do also carry a stitch kit, more for the dog (barbed wire) a skin stapler, iodine, wound powder, blue spray, as well as a heap of paracetamol and the like, and possibly a few more things I’ve forgot.
My thinking is I’m more likely to need the kit roadside at an rta but you just never know when luck runs out.
I do have w3w on phone and find emergency services love it, but…. On the two occasions I’ve used it the info didn’t get through to the responders …..
Most efaw+f covers use of tourniquets now I believe, the course I done they gave each person one at the end.

A small FA Pack tailored with bits over the years for personal use/need + electrolytes / flapjack / immodium / painkillers / emergency blanket / hand wipes
Phone charged, but turned off to retain battery.
As above, NoK aware of time, location and expected return from stalk.
Two sets of location maps (laminated), one is with me and the other left at home and both updated as / when the details change.
Hand wipes seemed to be quite useful. Especially when I was out with a Pro Stalker earlier this year and he had a bout of the sh*ts, and had nothing with him.
It's the old adage about the 6 P's.

I don’t know what some of you guys are expecting to happen along our pretty British hedgerows, Christ, even in the highlands I can’t seem to go deep enough into the woods or hills without some random walker or bird watcher or power line inspector passing by every odd moment!
From what I’m reading, this seems to typically represent a UK deer stalker checking for recent muntjac imprints
