Do you truly DIR ??

FGYT · January 20th, 2006, 06:55 PM

Just a thought DIR = Doing it Right
dosnt mention Diving in particular or exclusively
So how many Apply the DIR principles to other parts of their lives.:D :D

Do you Drive DIR (safe maintained correct Equiptment)
Work DIR (teamwork for objectives)
Drink DIR :D (careful Control of Harmful substances entering and leaving the blood stream)
all above - Prepared for emergancies and plans hitting the fan

or is it only Diving

The food in our canteen is pretty awful, so probably no

Of course DIR-people have to do everything safe, and use the correct equipment. Always prepare for a worst case scenario, and take all precautions necessary. In certain circumstances back up systems might not be a bad idea.

on the serious side yes do you have a first aid kit in the car at all times ( is it actually any use or was it supplied with the car)
how about a warm set of clothes a brew kit/food/water and cooker or a sleeping bag (not just when your off to Stoney or Vobster in winter :D )
Torch that has good batteries etc (at least one)
Fuel can (with cash for a tank full as well you never have your Credit card when you need it)
do you have the car checked and serviced before the winter change the tyres well before they are bald fill the washer bottle etc

was only a few weeks ago people got snowed into their cars near Exmoor ( or was it dartmoor).

Even when walking round my local Forest ( the New Forest ) ive got a few usefull bits n pieces just in case.

Strangely enough, I bought a sleeping bag today - I lovely hyperlight jobbie that is good to zero degrees (for early morning Stoney camping), I always carry a complete change of dry clothes and Little Pete has seen my saddo waterproof box of packet soup & drinking choccie. I think living out in the sticks makes you prepare for all eventualities. Torches, first aid kit, water and my disgusting gardening/dog-walking puffa all live in the car - just in case. Is mine the only car that has had the radiator topped up with Badoit??
