    Job specific first aid kit, and AR list

    It looks like claritin contains "loratadine". Does anyone know if that is effective at preventing the body from accepting venom from bees as I understand benedryl as I assume "diphenhydramine" is? It was explained to to that while Benadryl doesn't counteract the effects of bee venom, it does...

    I have a generic antihistamine in my Amazon cart right now selected only on it containing the main active ingredient listed on benedryl "diphenhydramine". Is there some reason you would recommend clariton over a generic?

    I want to do an intake form with new employees allowing them to disclose medical information at their discretion. This would be printed and kept in binders in the trucks, updated annually at minimum. Currently I am the only one on my crew who has practiced/been trained in using a c spine...

    Looking for branch burls.

    The below photo tells the story of my father in love/law's sculpture. He requested that I put out a request for similar burls to the arborist community. This means any burl you find, but specifically small burls on branches. He is willing to pay reasonably for them. Please reach out to me for...

    Job specific first aid kit, and AR list

    That's more or less what I meant by "self adhesive bandages" but I can see how that doesn't distinguish from a bandaid type bandage. It was meant to mean a self adhesive elastic wrap type of bandage. A friend had said coban (there are off brand substitutes), would you recommend vetwrap ( or off...

    Would the Israeli compression bandage fit that?

    Hehe, I don't really have the time either, but I'm gonna figure out how to do my part. Zero special licensing out here. All need is a contractors license which is just insurance and a performance bond. It's the wild West.

    Job specific first aid kit, and AR list

    Thank you. I'm going to go over that. I'm pretty sure the basic kits we bought meet that, however I feel like there are some items that should be added considering we deal with a relatively high likelihood of severe lacerations, and crush injuries from swinging objects or falling.

    Job specific first aid kit, and AR list

    I'm working on putting together more robust kits for our trucks. The issue I have with many off the shelf kits is that they can't handle a likely scenario for us. My list of additions: - SAM splint - Israeli trauma compression bandage - antihistamine in packets not bottle - medical tape 1" -...

    Treehumper let's make something happen. Where are you at? I just learned that Wisconsin has a legit, state or federally recognized apprenticeship program. I will help to make it happen out here in WA. I'd love to be one of the first states. Other jurisdictions have already done lots of the...

    Rigging Rope

    Perfect. No, I was just confused. Now that I know their "locally sourced" I get the way you stated it. I thought you were suggesting your "Sherrill" pow was American made, got me wondering if they switched it up. Now it all makes sense.

    GRCS bought, adding new comments to a thread in rigging

    Yes, it was around 2012 that the suppliers stocked the new ones. When I pulled it apart for maintenance there was basically no grease on the main carrier bearings which were plastic. I called Greg to ask about it, and he said "yeah, those are these new sexy bearings that don't need it". I was...

    Rigging Rope

    Good stuff. Not saying I require it, but certainly like to be informed, and have that information available. That isn't the Sherrill portawrap 4 are they? I see the middle one is missing the end cap. The Buckinghams are made in the USA as far as I know.

    GRCS bought, adding new comments to a thread in rigging

    The new winch also comes with some pretty sweet polymer bearings that according to Greg don't need grease the same which means less gunk buildup.

    Rigging Rope

    Good call in my opinion on the Buckingham portawrap. I bought the Sherrill pow assuming it was the actual American made successor, when in fact it is a Chinese made copy. Not necessarily an issue if you know that on the front end, but that fact was not listed when I ordered it. When I posted a...

    I am awed at how developed other countries arboriculture programs are in comparison to the United States. It's embarrassing. Just reading through the performance and knowledge evaluations of the "ground based rigging" qualification from Australia. It's awesome. I'm going to use this stuff.
