Dirty First Aid – Part 3 now, and it’s not all that down and dirty. It will come trust me on that.
We have in the last two pieces looked at a conscious casualty – we didn’t discuss some things, as this series is not an excuse for not taking a course.
Now lets move on to an unconscious casualty.
With an unconscious casualty your priorities are:
1) Open Airway
2) Maintain Blood Circulation
3) To Breath For Them
Teaser for Chapter One from Ecuador. Featuring footage from the first official Quijos Festival held in Baeza, Ecuador.
Nelihue is another great edit from Chris Baer. This edit shows that despite how great our sport is there is always a chance that something may go wrong. When it does wrong you need to have a good team around you.

I had the opportunity to have a brief paddle of the new 2016 Dagger Nomad (#newmad) last week. This particular shell is the Prototype V3 which is pretty much what the production model will be like.
I had first seen the Newmad in the flesh at Paddle Expo and since posting those images taken at the time it has been pretty clear, from the associated statistics from Unsponsored, that this boat has a great number of people very interested.
But what are my initial thoughts?
The Riving film is almost ready for release. Check out this untrailer from the Rivering guys.
I wanted to cut a promo, but I did not want to give anymore away than I already have with the other trailers. Thus, we have the “Untrailer”. Other than two shots, none of this footage and none of the interviewees appear in the actual film. So this was also an opportunity to add a few folks who were great, but simply because you cannot have everything (the film is already longer than I expected) did not make the cut. Thanks to everyone who donated, participated, crewed, was filmed etc over the past three years. I hope you enjoy the finished movie.

Welcome to the jungle we’ve got fun and games. We got everything you want honey, we know the names. We are the people that can find whatever you may need. If you got the money honey we got your disease.
Another superb edit from Knox Hammack.
In this series I am pleased to offer a ‘dirty’ First Aid approach. This is suited to kayakers and river users. Using a ‘find it fix it’ approach to incident care and management.
In our last article we looked at the Primary Assessment of a casualty. Now we move forward to a secondary assessment – here we deal direct with an injury or medical condition.
We will under take a full head to toe exam. Time to take a SAMPLE and deal with obvious injuries. Lets not rush at it – it needs to be spot on.
S – Signs and symptoms
A – Allergies
M – Medications
P – Previous medical issues
L – Last meal
E – Events
This sample is simple, we find it we fix it.
Dale Mears was at round two of the GB Freestyle selection event held at HPP, Nottingham. Here are just a few of Dale’s awesome images from the 30th January 2016.
The selection runs were held at the inlet gate at the top of the course.
A bit of whitewater, some surf, drones, colour, black and white. It’s all here in Movie Monday 1 February 2016.
The whitewater enthusiasts who know Slovenia, probably only know it for the Soca river. But when the snow melts, or the rain pours Slovenia is the place to be. We have so many little rideable creeks that run with just a little rain. In a 80 km radius, you’ll run out of strength before you run out of river names.
It’s a good job that Demshitz fix my shoulder!
Video of an afternoon run on the Wap which involved a crash at “Anarchy” resulting in a dislocated shoulder and a quick riverside reset! Demshitz to the rescue!
