Let's Talk First Aid

How can paracord assist in a first aid situation?

1. Make a splint: tie straight sticks around a broken limb
2. Tie a sling to hold your arm
3. Sew up a wound using the internal strands. (The internal strands are kind of thick, so you can unwind those for even smaller strands)
4. Make a tourniquet to slow blood loss
5. Make a stretcher by running paracord between two long sticks
