Guy Riordan Speaks: Building a Kayaking Safety Kit

In Outdoor Adventures on April 30, 2011 at 10:49 am

Guy Riordan

According to Guy Riordan, kayaking is a great experience that comes with great responsibility. A former United States Marine and gaming preserve owner, Guy Riordan is passionate about the outdoors. “Kayaking is a sincere love of mine and through the years I have learned some valuable tips on how to build an appropriate safety kit,” reports Guy Riordan. According to Guy Riordan, one hopes to never need to use safety training or safety kits, but “just in case” an outdoorsman is well-advised to be prepared.

A safety kit, according to Guy Riordan, is simple to construct. “There are some items that are pretty standard to have in the kit,” explains Guy Riordan. In case of an accident a boater will want antiseptic cream, band-aids of varying sizes and bandages/gauze. “A number of minor accidents can take place in the kayak or even when the kayak is still docked on shore,” points out Guy Riordan. With those items it is important to have aspirin or ibuprofen, along with some form of antacid. “These items help with pains of a different kind,” says Guy Riordan. Burn cream may also be necessary “as it is easy to get a bad sunburn off the water,” describes Guy Riordan.

Several other items that Guy Riordan recommends in a safety kit are energy related. “Kayaking is both emotionally and physically draining,” states Guy Riordan. “So having something to eat to boost your sugar is important,” adds Guy Riordan. While some recommend sugared candy, Guy Riordan recommends a healthier alternative such as an energy bar. “It is possible for a person to eat a great meal, hit the water and lose it all due to motion sickness,” explains Guy Riordan. Adds Guy Riordan, “An hour later their sugar will drop and they will be in need of an energy boost to continue the route.”

To construct the safety kit, Guy Riordan suggests purchasing a waterproof box. “This is important to keep all the items dry,” explains Guy Riordan. After putting the items in that box, place the box in a Ziplock sealable plastic bag. “You can use one bag or three bags, it is up to the boater,” comments Guy Riordan.

On longer, extended trips simply add a few more items to the kit. “I suggest taking an ice pack for sore muscles or other injuries,” says Guy Riordan. Guy Riordan also recommends bringing a change of dry clothes, a thermal blanket and a lighter. “You will need a lighter to make the night time camp fire or in case of emergency and you need to stay warm,” concludes Guy Riordan.

Spring Hill Pediatric Dentist Dr. David Snodgrass DDS Answers Parent Questions

In Health and Beauty on April 15, 2011 at 8:05 am

Spring Hill Pediatric Dentist

Dr. David Snodgrass is a Spring Hill pediatric dentist who likes to make a point of connecting with parents. Parenthood brings with it many concerns and considerations, says the Spring Hill pediatric dentist, and the more informed parents are, the healthier their kids are likely to be.

One common question asked by parents, says the Spring Hill pediatric dentist, regards cavities. “What is the cause of cavities?” parents ask Dr. David Snodgrass. The Spring Hill pediatric dentist explains that cavities are not caused by one single reason. Cavities are formed because of multiple factors interacting together. During infancy, says the Spring Hill pediatric dentist, cavities are attributed to prolonged bottle-feeding, particularly at bed times.

Once kids have gotten past the toddler stage, adds the Spring Hill pediatric dentist, sugar and neglected oral hygiene routines are the major factors that lead to cavities. Sugar is in many foods, points out the Spring Hill pediatric dentist, and sugar intake must be balanced against good brushing and flossing habits. When very young children develop cavities, parents visit the Spring Hill pediatric dentist to find out the best course of action. The Snodgrass-King Pediatric Dental Associates in Spring Hill must sometimes treat cavities in kids who still have baby teeth.

From time to time, some parents ask the Spring Hill pediatric dentist about porcelain-fused to metal (PFM) crowns. PFM crowns are of very high quality and look quite natural, and the Spring Hill pediatric dentist reports that they are used on patients in many cases. Depending on the extent of the cavity, Spring Hill pediatric dentist Dr. David Snodgrass will determine if it would be better to fill the cavity or to put a crown on the young patient’s tooth. The Spring Hill pediatric dentist also notes that sealants on teeth during regular dental visits are an excellent way to help prevent the development of cavities in his young patients.
