First Aid kit

[DaWizard]

Since I don't know where to put this, here it goes and I'll let the PTB fit it where it should be.

How many of you carry a Fire Extinguisher?

How many carry a First Aid Kit?

How many of you know how to use either?

In the basic First Aid Kit you have the normal bandages and ointments and such, but how many have super glue?

Now you are asking, WTF, Super Glue?

Well, yes, and here is the reasoning behind it. It was originally developed as an "in field suture" for the military, that is the reason that the temp of 98° fires it off. Simple to use and functional, it is also sterile so you can't harm with it. I have used it in the mending of an Exacto knife cut along the end of a finger with no scaring, and we all know how much bleeding the end of your finger does. As long as you have 2 pieces of skin that mate, no matter how ragged, you can mend them together using super glue. The next time you are at your favorite drug dispensary, look for the 6pack of little tubes for a buck or so, I think even HF has the little 6pack. Or even the Dollar Tree, or 99¢ Store, I know they carry it. Get a couple packs and stash them with the other First Aid kit goodies.

A word to the wise, if you don't know at least the basic first aid, learn, or hand the kit to someone who knows, as with our sue happy generation, doing something wrong, even for the right reason can get you in trouble.

Certified in First Aid and CPR. Years ago my dog split one of her foot pads and was bleeding out bad. I used wound wash to clean it out well and super glued it together. Had to keep her down for about 20mins for it to set. Good as new!

Oh yes, Super Glue works GREAT !!

I had my head glued at the emergency room, it worked! (PLEASE don't ask why.)

[DaWizard]

Well Ted, I just gota ask, why?

[Ted Duke]

Well now, since you must know. I was sitting in one of those chairs that lean back. Someone told a joke and i laughed so hard I turned the cahir iver backward and a bookcase stopped my fall. I don't remember the joke and the glue worked! I also use it to seal up cracks or cuts on my fingers.

Good thing ALL my stitches don't look like TATOOS!

Commercial fishermen especially long liners use lots of super glue.

Saw a sign at one of those walk in clinics the other day: "We remove fish hooks"

[Mitch]

You just brought back a not so great memory
I was fishing in the everglades on a boat, i was in the back and my brother was in the front. He went to cast his bait out and in the process caught me in the neck with the hook. It lodged so deep that it stayed in on his follow through. Then the dude that owned the boat didn't even have a F*** pliers, they had to drive around to find another boat to help.

WTF that hurt

[Beauford]

Yes, my buddy and I were done fishing on the James River and put canoe at boat ramp. I walked around the backside and my buddy yanked the canoe up the bank. The rods were hanging off the side and a stick bait with treble hooks sunk deep into shin to the bone. We didn't have pliers so cut the line and let bait hang from my leg. Stopped by my sisters house who is a nurse. She was too weak to pop the hook back through so got my brother n law to do it to cut the barb off as I swigged on a bottle of Knob Creek.
