Beaten to it by danzor.....bog roll and electrical tape!

As it happens I do also work on a Paramedic response vehicle 6 shifts a month, I have been doing this for 12 years......

I have allways had a roll of electrical tape in the pocket of my fluro jacket, make shift bandages, head straps, imobilisation of awkward fractures, tape heads to headrests at multiple cas RTC when first on scene......many many uses!

Before that I was the medic for Newmarket Rugby club.....used to go through 2 rolls on match day!!!

You forgot the apprentices use it for taping pictures of naked ladies to the walls and in their lockers
