Thread: NZ Alpine Hunter :Injury, First Aid training & gear survey (research)

Gidday Dr M
Nice to have you here and an interesting topic
These Surveys could be a pilot but there are too few Q to get worthwhile info.
Other relevant factors are:
Professional training & experience
Death or injury of friends
Preventive and Risk management strategies eg alpine skills course, use of helmet Ice axe + crampon
Awareness of dangers other than falls eg rock fall, river, avalanche, hypothermia

What is a Pelvic binder?
Who uses haemostat outside the military ?
are these questions to identify survivalist and militia member respondents?

There is a void with the mountain Safety Council out of action. But you need a clearer focus and more detail. These preliminary surveys wouldn't have enough meat to go in NZ Hunter or Wilderness. FMC bulletin runs a Back country accidents column where good data could be published.
