boy scouts back in 07 taught me how to do this i still have my books i know how to make a stretcher from two thick branches and a blanket
how should you move them after? the hiking poles go way beyond the foot so i would think itd be impossible to even limp, idk sh*t about fu*k but wouldnt putting them further up make it so you could at least limp out with support?
Hey Carter - as Quinn points out in the beginning of the video, this is for a non-weight bearing injury. So, although our volunteer's leg looks fine, you can imagine something that has a visible deformity, indicating that the area of the fracture is pushing outward towards the skin. (Not even the offer of extra pastries could convince Iona that we REALLY needed to make it more realistic!) With this type of injury, it is unlikely that any sort of splint could help our patient walk out. What we are really trying to do here is stabilize so the injured area doesn't move and worsen the damage, in preparation for extrication. Optimally, this would be a professional SAR extraction, but if there were enough people, and depending on distance, terrain and weather, a sturdy improvised carry device might suffice as well.
@@coastwildernessmedicaltrai4040 gotcha, makes sense and they secured the heck out of that leg, ive just been watching some videos thinking about " damm what would I do if im out in the back country and I slip and break my shin, ankle, femur, any of that..." My mind goes to worst situation but if i got a bone sticking out my skin and im by myself I guess I'm fucked😂
@@cbulldog22 Signaling options. Solo hiking carries risks but is just so very lovely! InReach and Spot devices are your best bet, but it is important that anyone venturing beyond the safe confines of the city (or their sofa) maintains an awareness that we can mitigate risk, but not eliminate it. Of course, that is part of the allure, isn't it!
@@coastwildernessmedicaltrai4040 absolutely my man, theres something special about tackling the mountains with nothing but yourself, that being said we always gotta mitigate the risk we take, so we can keep gettin after it 💪
