J. Williams on woodsmonkey!

Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it. Exposure is a very in depth subject, I couldve rattled on and on forever. I thought the main points were covered well. Glad to hear it from someone else though!!

I will be contributing regular first aid articles and product reviews over there, as well as some other fun stuff.:thumbup:

Its a great site, and im glad to be able to contribute.

J,

Thought it was a good article. I was glad to see you mentioned hydration even in cold weather.

I always stress hydration well before you need it - by the time you feel thirsty or dehydrated you are way behind the curve. Hydration is an active and ongoing process. A majority of people are usually dehydrated to some degree. Even mild dehydration affects mental processes.

For first aid, what about construction/application of basic splints? Sprained ankles in wilderness maybe.

Well, Gunknifenut was asking about how to prevent/treat genital warts from all his bestial woods encounters... :eek:


:D

Seriously, great article, Jake!

Actually, on a similar note, I have a condition doctors refer to as arborphilia. Sadly it's left me with some precariously placed splinters. Any way you could put up a bit of a 'how to' on delicate removal of these?

Thanks in advance Jake....

Ok, I finished my article for you two.

Keep it in your pants.:D:p
 
Great article Jake! Aside from Brian's concern over genital warts:D...some good first aid articles I think would be helpful:

Dealing with lacerations/cuts; irrigating, stopping the bleeding, bandaging

Diarrhea...no joke; good over the counter remedies/natural remedies; hydration

Dealing with burns (mild, campfire burns)

Sprains/breaks; applying splints/binds, etc.

Treating a victim in shock

Assessing and dealing with venomous bites/stings

Just a few off the top of my head. Looking forward to some more write ups!
