Forestry worker's and First Aid

Large bottle small glass

Hi all,
probably like a few other posters and do quite a bit of work solo with a chainsaw in a remote enough wood.

What, if anything, do other posters bring to wood in terms of First Aid?

Anybody use anything like this?

I'm assuming that lads are competent saw users, don't carry out risky work, are wearing full PPE, etc.

Thanks

Working solo with a chainsaw, or any type of hazardous equipment is extremely dangerous. You should have someone nearby to help or to check in every hour.

I would add to that kit some Celox haemostatic dressings.

It won't be much use if a tree falls on you, but can be good for minor cuts,
