RE: Killing my buddy — WeAreAliveAndSocial

What a good topic!

When I was in my twenties I was unworried and didn't think anything could happen to me, my friends or family members.
But then during a futsal match one of the guys collapsed and I just stood there not knowing what to do.
Luckily there were others that did.
That incident made me think; what if I was alone with someone?

I have subscribed to a first aid course after that to learn how to help in case of an emergency. I also learned how to perform CPR, use an AED and what to do when someone has severe wounds or burns.
I think everyone should be able to perform CPR and how to use an AED.

About the med kits; I have a fee. In my car, in my home and a small one for traveling which I carry in my cycling backpack. I do need to check up on the dates of the stuff that's in it though.

It's typical for people to be oblivious to what might happen, that usually comes with age and experience, and I was no different. I was bulletproof, or so I thought and then I realised (painfully) that I was not. Along with that often comes a lack of preparation, why prepare for something that might not happen right? Oh man, life taught me a lesson for sure.

I think everyone should be able to perform CPR and how to use an AED.

Not much to say but, fuck yeah to that line you wrote. I agree.

It's good to read you are prepared, have some skills and kits...I see it as essential because of what I've done and do generally, but for me it's also a hobby, prepping.

Thanks for your input.
