Thanks! I also do 100 sit-ups w/o a break, but I'm not sure what those other exercises are... *googles them* How many push-ups could you do when you first started?

I'm up to 25-30 in one set

Normally I have a fully stocked first aid kit, SAR/survival kit, change of clothes, full gore-tex suit, etc (stored in the minivan...yes, I drive one too!) On my person, I'll usually have 2 or 3 knives, wallet, cell phone, watch, and my trusty paracord bracelet!

I was a SAR medic for a few years before I took the class, and had CPR/AED/Basic first aid certs. Know these like the back of your hand: ABC SAMPLE OPQRST AVPU RICE Also, if you can practice taking blood pressures, pulses, etc ...and look over the current CPR guidelines.

I have a Timex triathlon. Smae thing, with a black plastic face. Still looks new after a year of use! Love that watch. It's also small, and slim. If it ever breaks, I'll be buying the same one again.

Well, since it's your own daughter, that makes it a lot more personal. At that point you were in parent mode, not this-is-my-job-I'm-an-EMTB mode. :rolleyes: But yeah, I'd say that's a normal reaction

(This is for my POV, I don't run calls due to age) I agree, answer the question and move on. Flipping out on someone for not searching will just scare them off. (however I know it can be irritating at times) I always have an "emergency" bag in my car with 50' of 8mm dynamic rope, carabeaners...

Exactly. Funny story too...however it's a shame people are like that. Guys out there risking his health / life and you're (parient) going to be jerk and refuse, because he is black?!! That's just stupid.

Yes.. I cried because no one said goodbye :'( But thanks xD

Enjoy your E-cake

Aren't those super expensive though? I guess you get what you pay for.

How far back was that guy in the woods? Did he fall out of a tree stand or something?

Wow...and that was all in one shift?!!

Yeah, just just have to be careful not to pull the skin off, exposing the blister. Duct tape works best when placed over hotspots to avoid the blisters from forming. That's probably what you meant... Just stating that for the lurkers that may not know.

I think that's what he meant...? :P Maybe not.
