Summary of "FC Lekarna1"
Main message
Don’t rely on the tiny dealer “legal minimum” kit. Prepare a practical motorcycle first aid kit that matches how, where and how long you ride, and learn basic first aid before you need it.
First-aid training & emergency procedure
- Take a Red Cross or other certified first aid course — practicing skills helps keep you calm and effective in an emergency.
- If you find a crash or medical emergency: call 112 immediately. If you’re unsure what to do, calling 112 and describing the scene already helps.
- Know basic CPR and how to use an AED. Public AEDs self‑analyze and guide you — don’t be afraid to use one.
- Install the Záchranka emergency app (Android/iOS). It provides one‑touch calls to dispatch, sends your GPS location, and can enable a video call for guidance. It can be useful even with poor signal.
What to carry in a motorcycle first aid kit (recommended items)
- Personal prescriptions and regular medications (e.g., insulin for diabetics) — don’t leave essential meds at home.
- Disposable gloves (nitrile or latex), properly sized — minimum protection for you and the casualty.
- Waterproof adhesive plasters (various sizes) — durable and sweat‑resistant.
- Sterile gauze pads and sterile dressings — carry plenty; better more than less.
- Bandages and flexible (sports/elastic) tape for support and fixation.
- Roller bandage / fixation tape and paper/plaster tape to secure dressings.
- Scissors and/or a small knife.
- Superglue (cyanoacrylate) — useful for closing small, clean cuts in the field.
- Painkillers / basic OTC meds (examples mentioned: Aulin, Paralen), electrolyte powder, activated charcoal (for some poison/food issues), glucose/grape sugar for low blood sugar, magnesium supplement (Magnosolv) — include only what’s appropriate for you and your group.
- Thermal (space) blanket — lightweight, low bulk; prevents hypothermia and can be used as shelter or groundsheet.
- Compact, moldable splint (vacuum or hardening type) — shapes to limbs/joints and stabilizes fractures until evacuation.
- Tourniquet — recommended for remote expeditions; buy a proven, quality (U.S./EU) model, not cheap knockoffs that can fail.
- For longer or remote trips: larger medication stocks, sterile packs, chest/severe‑injury dressings, a suture/sewing kit if someone is trained, and at least one person in the group with advanced trauma/expedition first aid.
Field tips and usage advice
- Keep your kit organized and check it periodically; replace used or expired items.
- Put on gloves first to protect yourself.
- Use gauze and dressings to control contamination and bleeding.
- Apply a tourniquet only when necessary (more relevant in remote settings where evacuation is delayed).
- Use superglue for small, clean cuts only after thorough cleaning.
- Use splints and tape to immobilize suspected fractures.
- A thermal blanket can keep someone warm, go under a sleeping bag, or serve as an emergency shelter.
- For remote travel (where ambulance response is slow), carry a more comprehensive kit and ensure a trained team member is present.
- Prefer quality for critical tools (tourniquet, splint); don’t skimp on life‑saving gear.
Logistics & travel context
- In Europe you can generally expect ambulance response within 15–30 minutes; that affects how much immediate trauma control you prioritize.
- For enduro/expedition riding beyond quick help (remote areas or developing regions) plan a dedicated expedition kit and procedures for long evacuation times.
Extras & community
- Keep personal energy and supplements on hand for long rides.
- Encourage riding buddies to carry similarly equipped kits and to take first aid courses.
- Consider following Biker Boys content (Hero Hero platform) for route GPX files and further travel tips.
