From OBG:
"I used to carry a bunch of CHP give away bumper stickers with me, if I had to break a side window with a victim inside, I would plaster it with stickers first, then break it with my spring loaded centerpunch (without a doubt the easiest way to break a tempered glass window). Instead of breaking into a jillion pieces, it would be pretty much held in one piece by the stickers, and could be lifted out away from the victim..."


Great idea. note to self: use roll of duct tape in car kit to serve the same purpose.


I took a BASIC First Aid Class recently, and it was a little frustrating. It seemed like the instructor just kept saying "make them comfortable and call 911." I wanted to learn how to use the SAM splint everyone has in THEIR kit, and other REAL first aid stuff. Then I remembered what I had learned here about not overestimating my ability...and I took her point.
