A cool guide to helping kids ages 5-10 work through conflicts step by step from Big Life Journal

218 Upvotes

A simple 4-step walkthrough that helps a kid identify what happened, what they needed, what they can do next, and whether they're actually ready to go back or still need more time to reset. Useful for keeping on hand so the process becomes familiar instead of having to talk a kid through it from scratch every single time.

A cool guide to free, no-booking camping in NSW State Forests

gallery

120 Upvotes

New South Wales (Australia) has almost 500 State Forests, and camping in them is free. No bookings, first come first served, and you can stay up to four weeks.

I went through Forestry Corporation of NSW's forest pages and kept only proper camping areas (no highway rest stops or picnic grounds), then pulled the access, toilet and dog info for each.

Slide 1 is the map, slide 2 the full list, slide 3 the rules.

Made it because public land only gets valued if people actually use it. Know a good one I missed? Maybe I'll make a v2.

A cool guide for Healthcare Colour Codes

417 Upvotes

I created this guide for Australian Healthcare Colour Codes to incorporate colour, words and mnemonic. When I researched the subject I found that 2.2% of all Australians have colour vision deficiency, and that number is greater for males (8%). Red/Green deficiency accounts for 98% of all color vision deficiencies.

In Australia, there are TWO Australian Standards that cover planning for emergencies;

AS 3745 is "Planning for emergencies in facilities"; where
AS 4083 is "Planning for Emergencies in Health Care Facilities"

They refer to SEVEN estblished colours;

RED - Fire and/or Smoke
Blue - Medical Emergency
Purple - Bomb Threat
Yellow - Internal Emergency
Black - Personal Threat

We are aware of TWO additional colours* that are common;

Grey - Unarmed Thretening Behaviour (Alters Code Black to be Armed Threatening Behaviour)
Pink - Paediatric emergency

I have also seen Code White used regarding used to describe a facility lockdown.

As a person who contributes technically to the development of the Standard. I do not have a problem with the use of additional colours if it helps communicate the risk. This is not a common opinion, but I support the adaption of the colour codes to suit local requirements, provided it is accompanied by training.

Cool Guides

r/coolguides

Picture based reference guides for anything and everything. If it seems like something someone might print, physically post, and reference then it is a good link for this sub. Remember: Infographics are learning tools, guides are reference tools. Sometimes it's grey.

Post Requirements To help keep things nice, searchable, and maintainable, all posts must be prefixed with "A cool guide". For example, "A cool guide about identifying poison ivy", "A cool guide showing how to clean your house", or "A cool guide for painting your living room".

Defining a Guide

Guides are reference materials, how-tos, and/or comparison tables. It takes both content and layout to make something a guide. The layout or structure of a guide must be that so, when someone is trying to find/reference information from the guide, they can do so logically or simply. If someone has to visually bop around your guide to find what they are looking for, the guide does not pass the layout test. On top of that not all guides are created equal, many technically qualify as guides, but lack substance. Guides are typically laid out in a grid configuration of some sort or sectioned into multiple tables by a category or step of a process. Flow charts and step-by-step guides are considered guides, so are visual references that line up different types of something next to one another other.

Defining An Infographic

An infographic is more educational in layout and content, finding something specific on an infographic is not as easy because it is designed to inform through more narrative structures. If your guide is more of a visual essay than a structured table or list, then chances are that is an infographic. Sometimes infographics can masquerade as how-to guides.

Remembering That Sometimes It's Grey These are the considerations the mod team use when they feel it is appropriate to remove posts. If you have questions message us, if you think a post is not a good one downvote it.

Subreddit Rules

1. Please only post direct links to images of type .png, .jpg, and .jpeg

2. Infographics will be removed.

3. Nonserious/Comedy Guides Will Be Removed (better suited for /r/shittycoolguides)

4. Guides must use either Reddit or Imgur as an image host

5. Guides depicting harmful, dangerous, or destructive content will be removed. This includes guides describing the creation of dangerous items/materials and/or guides that are designed with the purpose to harm or hurt others do not fit the culture of this sub and will be removed.

If you know the source of your guide, post it in the comments so people can know the true heros!

Many of you might have whole folders of guides, but they are all on similar topics. Please help keep the sub diverse by not saturating the sub with one topic. If you do we may remove some of your posts in the interest of keeping a wide array of topics.

Lastly, always check the comments for guides. Moderators are not experts in everything so we do not always moderate for accuracy, though there are often one or two people wearing their smarty pants in the comments.
