One of the earlier topics was about being mentality prepared for take care of incidents. Today you will have focus for more practical skills. First of all you need to prepare your own first aid kit. I suggest you buy a store case so you know how to organize it. It shall also be flexible so you can add or remove or change the content depending of your activities.

When it comes to more practical parts you need to have a lot of phantasy for solving field challenges due to first aid. I f you need a stretcher, you can use your rope like this:

It can also be very good to bring gear for fast stabilization of a broken or injured body part. So a splint roll, then you got a lot of options..

I also recommend to bring some kind of emergency light. This will help you to get found if its dark and bad visibility..

Another thing that will be a good knowledge is how to handle a rescue evacuation with a helicopter. First you shall chose a so flat area as possible to land on. Mark it out if possible. Take all you gear away so it can get loos in the wind from the helicopter. Stand up with your hand like a Y. This means you will Marshall the helicopter.
