[QUOTE="condor22, post: 91393, member: 1932"] Another thing worth carrying [url]http://bsar.org/setopress[/url] I carry a couple of these, they are great as you have indicators to get the right tension. Too loose aint gonna cut it and too tight may end up worse than the bite. If you get hit, apply from the bite up the whole limb. Then use the 2nd to go back down to the bite. Don't wash the bite, and apply bandage over clothing as quick as possible. Sit down and don't walk too far. If with someone they get help or drive you (so long as not too far from car, better to take the car to the victim). If alone and very remote, carry a PLB and activate it. Don't drive unless no other choice, you may end up killing yourself and worse, others. [b][u]READ UP ON FIRST AID FOR SNAKE BITE[/u][/b] [/QUOTE]
