Ryan Fields-Spack

Hey dads, Ryan here. I spent the career on the calls. This site is the trunk, the diaper bag, and the dates on the gauze — so you can be useful while help is on the way.

A signed grade shows the letter and says Signed. A kit I have not signed says Grade pending. They are not care. If someone is badly hurt, call 911. Take a CPR class and a Stop the Bleed class so the gear is not a stranger.

I test ordinary first-aid gear on the channel, including bandages on real kid scrapes from a summer day.
