TO TAG OR NOT TO TAG?

This is going to be a short one guys but i think its important. A few of you know that I cycle into work, and with that comes the risk of being knocked down by a car or lorry.  Any cyclist will tell you that if you spend enough time on the roads there will be a time when you will get that "near miss". 

So what happens if you are hit by a car and knocked out? Well hopefully police and ambulance are called and you will begin to receive the medical help you need, but what about your loved ones? Picture your husband or wife at home or work thinking everything is all ok while you are being worked on in a hospital and the police are trying to ID you and contact your family. 

Well this is where the Dog Tags come in. Thousands of servicemen and woman have worn these to help ID them should the worse happen. Why shouldn't we as cyclists, hikers, wildcampers or hunters be any different?

I have recently took delivery of a set of Dog Tags that have the following information on it which I believe is enough to aid rescuers should the worse happen. 

Name:

Date of Birth:

Blood Group:

ICE: (In Case of Emergency) phone number. 

Maybe this is something you have thought of getting but just haven't done so yet, well I can tell you that I feel a lot better knowing should something happen my family will know about it as soon as possible.
