First off, thumbs up for doing the presentation and getting a lot of the information out there, and secondly welcome to the ETS forums.

If I remember correctly, there was some good information in there, and the only problems that a lot of people had were, as mentioned the disorganization and perhaps the chlorine tablets as water purification part. And I think the only real problem people had with the chlorine tablets was "dosage".

I remember picking up some marking tape after I saw this video.

At this point in my post I decided to watch the video again...

In any case, right off the top, you stated that "Cotton Kills" and talked about core temperature, so had the rest of the talk been confusing, overall it would have still been worthwhile.

You talked about signaling.

I'm going to post and watch the rest.

Anyway, welcome aboard!

Some more thoughts on this -- power point is helpful when making your point ( and lists) and handouts keep the material fresh in their minds. You may want to chunk up the video into 6 parts to make it more watchable.

Welcome! Watched the whole thing and learned some things. I liked the chlorine tablet idea...dosage is another issue.

I think the whole talk would have been alot neater, if for example when you were talking about the chlorine..you actually take out the razor, and shave off the appropriate amount as a demo. Kind of like you did with giving the kid the space blanket and having him demo the position to get in.

Good job and again welcome.

As soon as I saw the video I remembered seeing it before. I really liked that video. You may think that it rambles, but I think it puts a lot of info. Cougars and deer. . .
