I was giggling all the way through your very loving insults XD
I have:
- tiny kit in small edc (single pocket colourful pouch with convenient wrist strap thing that person that I bought colourful pouch from kindly included free in the order that makes it even easier to find/grab than it already is)
- small kit in big edc (bag with first aid label on it and labelled pockets/partitions inside, tiny kit above gets added to big edc whenever I need to take the big edc instead of the small one so I have both sets of supplies)
- car kit (Bunnings first aid kit that mother in law gave everyone for Christmas centuries ago when she used to work at Bunnings and it's got whatever it had in it originally minus I think some saline and a bandage because we needed to do some semi-serious first aid on someone once for a gash that was too big for a plaster but not big enough to need stitches/hospital trip)
- house kit (comprising of a large marked first aid box in a cupboard, the shelf it's on and the shelf above it, a snakebite kit lives in this one, we haven't had to take it out yet as we don't usually go to snek country in snek weather)
I was thinking of listing the stuff in it but the comment got a bit long, and also anyone who thinks that was excessive has never met anyone like my youngest
Now what I really, really, REALLY have to do is actually renew and ideally update my first aid certs (it's been on my todo list forever but it's really hard to get to). I did the basic + cpr ones ages ago and obviously need to do them again, and also want to do the asthma and anaphylaxis management ones and the isolated site one, and I guess may as well do the advanced skillset one while I'm about it if it doesn't cost an arm and a leg (the irony) XD
The fact you have an EDC medical kit makes you legit.
It's also great to hear your vehicle kit has come in handy, that's what it's for, but make sure you replenish it, Chemist warehouse should be able to assist there. As for the house kit, that's a good thing too and the bonus is a snakey bastard kit, good work!
I hope you get your certs renewed, having that peace of mind, the ability to understand what may be going on in an emergency, can mean a more level head and decision making. Generally though, nice work all round, you're fairly well prepped, way more than the average person.
As for my mate...I've killed him many times (in my imagination) and he's always at risk of a good slaying...if any slaying could be called good. Honestly though, I think I might be getting through to him little by little.
I have yet to inspect/review the car kit x_x
The tiny kit was only assembled recently as the small edc was made a month or so ago I think. The small kit got reviewed at about the same time as the Betadine and Stingoze got transferred from it (and it really needed it, I got rid of some stuff that had exploded or expired and replaced whatever I thought I would actually use).
The house kit is mostly J's problem, I know it gets casually inspected and replenished weekly but I don't know when or how often he does full surveys. I haven't done one...ever since the initial stocking x_x
Eldest and I are going for first aid training next week ^_^ Amusingly I actually started looking into it shortly after my comment and decided on the St John's course as while it was the most expensive out of the ones I found, their course had three units (cpr, provide first aid and basic emergency life support, though I think technically the first one is also in the second one) and says it covers asthma, allergy and anaphylaxis which are also things I wanted to do (they seem to be separate topics in some providers).
Unfortunately mental health and isolated site ones are going to be a "later" problem partly because money and mostly because I have to do them in the city and it would be so much easier on the train (which is currently down due to track works and if everything runs on time won't be back up til mid next year or so).
That you're doing anything at all sets you far above others who choose, shall we say, other options...meaning sweet fuck all. Well done, and it's great that your daughter is going to attend also, it's stuff that stays with a person for a long while and one never knows the impact a little training may have on someone's life when things go belly up.
Nice work indeed!
