There was a lot of information! The course lasted three and a half hours. We definitely got our money's worth. Dave also discussed what should go into a first aid kit, and how to use dressings/bandages/tourniquets.

Dave passed around samples of various things like epi pens, nitroglycerine tablets, and stents. Then he had a volunteer (KC8SON) demonstrate using an epi pen. When discharged horizontally through cardboard it shot quite a ways. China paced it off at over 20 feet!

Good topic, especially the gunshot coverage, knowledgable presenter and lots of information - highly recommended.

Here's another big "THANK-YOU" to ChinaKay and Dave for putting this together

The class and information were excellent and so much more information than I expected

Dave did a great job presenting everything and really kept things moving along. I couldn't believe how fast the evening went!

It really got me playing the "what if" game again and on another level!

:thankyou:

Thanks China, thanks Dave!

Regarding the slide show, I just want to say to everybody out there, holy crap be careful with your shotgun!!

And also, one nice thing about handguns versus rifles is that, if you manage to blow one up it's generally not right next to your face.

This class was fantastic. Dave was able to keep it moving and the material was extensive. I would recommend this to everyone. Thanks to China for setting this up also! Jim

Glad to hear everyone seems to have gotten something of value out of the evening. DanM more than most, evidently

I hope we can do it again sometime..

If anyone has a question on any of the course material I'll do my best to answer.

At the class, Dave had talked about putting together a list of supplies for an in the car style first-aid kit.

Was there any follow up on this?
