What psi is enacted by a correctly applied compression bandage? how hard would those hose be to get on? Interesting!
I'd not carry them for purpose but mine bow now has extra string! I like new ideas, thanks!
I wonder why a product isn't available, compression stockings are. Maybe the limited application place (a leg) is all?

77 year old bloke north of Cairns tried to kill a Taipan in his house. Wearing no shoes, the snake bit him between his toes.
The bloke is in hospital and in a bad way, and the snake is dead.

The highly skilled crew of the Westpac Rescue Helicopter yesterday airlifted a 33-year-old woman from the Port Davey Track in the Southwest National Park after she sustained a snake bite. She was airlifted to Hobart in a stable condition.

If anyone has any further information please post.

A 24-year-old man has died from a brown snake bite in the north west of New South Wales.
Police said the incident happened in the backyard of a home in Tamworth on Wednesday night, when the man attempted to protect a pet from the snake.
The man was bitten on the finger.
He was rushed to hospital by family but died away within an hour.

A question for you all... What's the standard protocol regarding snake bites and PLB's being set off etc?
After a few close calls recently I've been wondering if I was to be tagged should I set off a PLB immediately if in a remote area with no reception or do you sit around and make sure it wasn't just a dry bite?
