[QUOTE="Village, post: 48886, member: 1900"] Just a couple of key points you may or may not know. Compression bandages should be applied from the point on the limb closests to the heart and worked down away pass the bite. For you detectorists the optimal place to carry the same would be taped to your harness, on the vertical support just down off the shoulder, and this should be done on the non predominat side. Use duck tape, it tears across the width with ease. PLB( epripb, and as a land based user you would be better served with a PLB) when you register your device, remember that on activation, AMSA will call the next kin straight away during the scramble, first to check it's not an accidental activation and two to notify. If your next kin, may not take such news easy, put down a next of kin, who would be able to notify your partner in person. In the field, UHF channel 5 is the emergency channel, it is 24 hour monitored and you would be surprised on the greater range of coverage. Most uhf's now come with a monitor function, what ever channel your on, set you radio to monitor both that and channel 5. You may save someone's life, if they can' t reach the operator you may be able to relay. Also remember that you should be carrying a 5 watt radio too, be carefull be sell 1 watt radios. [/QUOTE]
