BLOG

We’re proud to welcome Thursty Turtle to the Red Fox Survival client family. As one of the few bars in the area properly prepared for emergencies such as cuts, burns, and bar-related incidents, they are now fully stocked to Regulation 3 compliance standards. Even better, they’ve partnered with us for monthly inspections and restocking to ensure they stay compliant and ready at all times. Prepared. Compliant. Responsible.
Drowning can happen quickly and silently, even in seemingly shallow or calm water. One often overlooked factor in preventing accidents is swimsuit visibility — children wearing bright, high-visibility colors like neon orange, yellow, or pink are far easier to spot in a pool than those wearing blues, greys, or darker tones that blend into the water. However, visibility alone is not enough. Constant supervision, age-appropriate swimming lessons, proper flotation devices, and secure pool barriers are essential to keeping children safe. In the event of a drowning, quick action — calling for help, safely removing the child from the water, and performing CPR if necessary — can save lives. Prioritizing prevention and preparedness ensures that fun in the water stays safe for everyone.

Weekends at the markets are where Red Fox Survival truly comes to life. Between the buzz of people, music, and conversation, we set up our table and do what we love most—talking about safety, preparedness, and real-life survival. We meet families, first responders, hikers, parents, and everyday people who all share one thing in common: the desire to feel safer. Every question asked, every product explained, and every safety tip shared reminds us why we started. Markets aren’t just about selling gear for us—they’re about connecting with the community, raising awareness, and making personal safety accessible to everyone. One conversation at a time, we’re building a safer, more prepared community.
How to Safely Clean a Wound Stop the bleeding Apply gentle pressure with clean gauze until bleeding stops. Wash your hands Use soap and water or hand sanitizer. Rinse the wound Flush gently with clean running water to remove dirt and debris. Do not scrub. Clean around the area Use mild soap on the surrounding skin only—not inside the wound. Disinfect Apply a small amount of antiseptic if available. Dry and cover Pat dry with clean gauze and cover with a sterile dressing. Monitor Change dressing daily and watch for redness, swelling, or pus. Get medical help if bleeding won’t stop, the wound is deep, or signs of infection appear.
What to Do When You Witness a Car Accident Make the scene safe Park safely, switch on hazard lights, watch for traffic. Call for help immediately 📞 112 (any mobile network) 🚑 10177 – Ambulance 🚓 10111 – SAPS Give clear location and details. Do NOT move injured people Unless there is immediate danger (fire, smoke, traffic). Check breathing & responsiveness Speak calmly and reassure them.

Do not give food or drink Wait for emergency services Follow responder instructions when they arrive.
What to Do During an Asthma Attack Without an Inhaler Stay calm and sit upright Do not lie down. Sitting upright helps open the airways. Loosen tight clothing Especially around the neck and chest. Slow your breathing Take slow breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. Try breathing in for 2 seconds, out for 4 seconds. Move away from triggers Get away from smoke, dust, strong smells, cold air, or physical exertion. Sip warm fluids (if able) Warm water or tea may help relax airway muscles. ⚠️ Do not force drinking if breathing is very difficult. Use pursed-lip breathing Breathe in through your nose, then breathe out slowly through pursed lips (like blowing out a candle). Seek medical help immediately If symptoms do not improve within a few minutes, call for emergency assistance. Call Emergency Services Immediately if: Breathing becomes very difficult Lips or fingers turn blue The person cannot speak in full sentences Symptoms are getting worse 📞 South Africa Emergency Numbers 112 – Any mobile network 10177 – Ambulance Important: Asthma attacks can be life-threatening. An inhaler is essential—this guidance is for emergency situations only.
Leg (Thigh) Holster A leg holster is a secure, adjustable carry system designed to position a firearm or self-defence tool on the upper thigh, allowing for fast access, comfort, and freedom of movement. Made from durable, lightweight materials, leg holsters are built to stay firmly in place during active use while distributing weight evenly to reduce strain. Ideal for tactical use, range training, security work, and high-mobility environments, leg holsters provide a reliable carry option when waistband or belt carry is impractical. Why People Prefer a Leg Holster Quick access – Natural hand position allows faster draw times Comfortable carry – Reduces pressure on the waist and lower back Improved mobility – Easier to move, sit, or bend compared to belt holsters Secure fit – Adjustable straps keep the holster stable during movement Works with gear – Ideal when wearing body armour, tactical vests, or heavy belts Versatile use – Popular with security professionals, first responders, and tactical users
