Thanks Ironraven... Good info.

Anyone have any reviews of the campmor one? Although i'm personally looking for a first aid reference cards, more information isn't bad.

Its looking more and more like an upcoming project for myself. A self made version.

I recall that Doug used those when we was outfitting someone for an air race. I think he sharpied out some stuff, but I've never seen them.

I am with OBG on this one. Flash cards are pretty useless for the most part. If you are injured, I pray that you are not in the hands on untrained individuals. Clueless responders need a lot more than a flash card since they are typically too flustered to read. In my experience, you can probably do a better job administering first aid to yourself compared to the efforts of an untrained person.

I have had to self administer first aid, up to and including a fractured ankle. While not necessarily superlative, it was sufficient.

I've seen mainly spiral bound notebooks for EMT's, first responders, or medics (at Borders or Barnes&Noble). I guess if you felt so inclined, you could cut out cards relevant to what you want others to treat.

That being said, hopefully they'd be able to read and follow directions well.

I once when I was a very young Private in the army and very gung-ho an event that changed my option on the carrying of medical information in the field occurred. I was on a fire and movement range and I jumped forward at the end of my three step bound and had not bother to look ahead and see that there was a large patch of prickly pear cactus in front of me or wear gloves.

I then walked back to where the medics had parked their amb. When I arrived to have my hundred or so slivers removed from both hands and arms the medic said as she pulled out a pair of tweezers these immortal words "I have never done this before".

From that point on I have always recommended the carrying of quick reference or even small medical text. I would rather have a field medic say, "just a sec I want to make sure I have this procedure down" than "I have never done this before I hope this is how I do it"
