<h2>Available equipment</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Expo maintains a big top camp first aid kit for plateau injuries
|
||
|
|
and minor caving damage. It is not designed/intended to go
|
||
|
|
underground. Plateau falls are actually the biggest risk on expo -
|
||
|
|
the limestone is sharp and sometimes slippery, the rucksacks are
|
||
|
|
enormous and heavy. Small personal kits for underground use are also a
|
||
|
|
good idea, as is a bivi bag or bothy in case of getting stuck for any
|
||
|
|
reason (as it's damn cold).</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>There is a rescue grab bag containing underground 1st aid stuff and
|
||
|
|
brew kit/shelter.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>At base camp is more first aid stuff for both replenishment and other
|
||
|
|
injuries.</p>

<h2>Training</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is a caving first aid training session help each year before
|
||
|
|
expo. Here are the <a href="1st_aid_caving_style.pdf">slides from the
|
||
|
|
current course</a> (written by Cat Hulse) which provide a lot of good info.
