Utilization of equipment–what else can a backpack do in addition to carrying things
Hehe, some people may feel a little dizzy at this topic, but the role of equipment in the outdoors is often multi-purpose , as long as we find it carefully, we can make full use of our own equipment to solve more problems. For example, the function of the backpack we talked about today is for some uses other than equipment. I have summed up a few points myself and hope that more friends can add it!
1. Neck brace—-Speaking of this, it was an unexpected discovery. When my friend bought a ct backpack, I inadvertently turned the belt
upside down and played around my neck. Who would have guessed that I found that it can support and fix the neck very well. And the large buckle of the belt can also be buckled at the back of the neck for added force!
We climbed up and down among the stones and grass all day long, and it was inevitable that we would bump or slip. However, if the cervical spine problem is not fixed in time, it may bring the price of “high paraplegia”, “vegetative state” and so on. So make good use of your backpack belt if something goes wrong. Not just the belt of the ct bag. As long as it can be detached separately or in an emergency, it can be directly cut from the backpack and used. Exchange a backpack for a life I don’t think anyone can’t figure it out.
2. Splint—This is used to fix fractures and is also part of emergency treatment. The method of use is only applicable to backpacks with cr carrying system or backpacks with two aluminum alloy supports behind them, such as ospery and ct. Now 80% of the backpacks on the market are like this. The method is to take out the two aluminum alloy support bars at the back of the backpack and make them straight, and then use the trapping straps on the side of the backpack or the wide nylon straps used by the backpack to hang the tent. Of course this is if you don’t have bandages or other substitutes, as the straps on the backpack are usually fixed and you need to cut them off. Then fix the injured part with two aluminum alloy support rods and fix it with webbing.
Don’t panic when an accident happens, try to analyze the loss first, just think about what you have, then it is easy to optimize the combination and resolve the crisis. Human survival is very powerful, as long as you have confidence, here I recommend a film “touch the void”, which is translated as “Touch the Peak”, also known as “168 Hours of Frozen”
3, Tourniquet—-In fact, there is no problem with hemostasis as long as it is a rope, but what I am talking about here should be a better solution. When trying to stop bleeding outdoors, the first thing that comes to your mind is to untie your shoelaces immediately after using a rope. As everyone knows, there are two ropes on the backpack that can be used completely and will hardly make you pay any uncomfortable price, that is, there are two strings on the upper part of the backpack, and one is used to seal to prevent small things from coming out of the backpack. fell out. The other is designed to solve the tension at the mouth of the backpack and the combination with the head bag. I personally think that the first one is more reasonable. Because when you tighten the fixing rope of the head bag, the head bag is basically in a wrapped state. Nothing will fall out.
I will write it here first and wait until I find other uses, and then I will add it in time. I also hope that everyone can communicate and study how much the existing equipment can play.
