Maybe it could be reworked into a Lifesaver Achievement, where a geohasher gets to '''use''' their first aid kit/CPR skills/improvised surgery to help someone else (geohasher or not) that has had a serious accident. Feels like another "do it and we'll make the ribbon" though, since it's not really anything anyone can strive for (and it's hardly a "lucky" location). --[[User:The ru|The ru]] 21:29, 14 May 2009 (UTC) | Maybe it could be reworked into a Lifesaver Achievement, where a geohasher gets to '''use''' their first aid kit/CPR skills/improvised surgery to help someone else (geohasher or not) that has had a serious accident.

While I love the idea of carrying a fire extinguisher for no apparent reason, I somehow don't like this achievement. It seems too... practical. In fact, every geohasher should bring basic first aid equipment when on an expedition into the unknown and potentially dangerous. It's almost like handing out an achievement for tying your shoes. --ilpadre 09:40, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- I carry mine wherever I go, the idea was to encourage those that don't. I think it could be compared to geotrashing - not every achievement has to be utterly pointless, require a lucky location or extreme dedication. If this can plant a seed in the minds of people that it's a good idea to come prepared, then yes, I think it's an achievement. --The ru 10:26, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
I can't see why this would be worth an achievement. I don't think it's original or funny. Just like carrying a bottle of water on an expedition is always a good idea though not always necessary, it doesn't make the expedition more interesting. --Ekorren 11:03, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
Seems a little obvious, yes. I suppose once the geohasher has put together the first aid kit it might stay with their stuff and make it more likely for hem to bring it next time, but it might be like the fire safety one, where they get a laugh once for strapping a fire extinguisher to their bike and then that's the end of it. It's almost wrong to say that it's an achievement. I agree with the shoe-tying comment. DNO -Robyn 21:11, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
