What are the complications of a gunshot wound to the chest?
Who can you ask to sponsor you to help you with obtaining your cfr medical kit?
You need to ask whomever's organizing the program and acting as chief operating officer. Even though it's apparently a community project, there are still standards that are delineated and must be met, and one of these is the composition of your kit. Because you're a community organization (I assume), you can become a tax write-off (maybe) for contributors. I've seen this work well where a major drugstore chain took on the burden of supplying the kits. You'll see the same type of thing with volunteer firefighters and such. The answer then -- to me anyway -- is, whomever is running this needs to take on the task of logistics and supply. Unless that's you, this isn't something you should try alone, as I imagine you're not an official representitative of the volunteer organization and cannot commit funds or issue receipts in its name.
The weight of the victim is the primary factor determining the distance, relative to the strength and endurance of the carrying individual.

Why do we keep shock patients warm?
"Shock" is a word that means a condition where your body is basically in survival mode. Almost all of the energy is pulled back into the body's core and the brain to keep those vital organs alive no matter what. That includes circulation, so the outer parts of the body become very cold due to lack of blood flow.
Cobblers in my country are men who work on your shoes. However, I seem to recall that the term "cob" or "cobbler" can mean Spider elsewhere. So, hoping your shoes are okay, here's what to do about a spider: # Identify and preferably capture the culprit -- many spiders have different toxins. # Once identified, call poison control and they'll tell you what to do. # If you don't have a poison control organization, we have a decision to make. The vat majority of spiders are either harmless, or almost so. For them, keep the wound clean, ice-pack it, and -- if you have anything like an allergic reaction (trouble breathing, hives, etc.) call for emergency help. For the others, it's very important to know what you're treating. If you identify a really dangerou spider (Brown Recluse, Black Widow or their brothers and sisters), a trip to the dock may be called for. # If you opt not to go to the doc, watch the bite. It should get smaller and less painful after one day. If it gets larger, consider running for medical care. At a diameter of 3", definiately go to a doctor. # Some bites form blisters. These aren't a worry as such. Don't pop them. When they pop on their own, keep them clean and dry and bandaged. # If you see signs of ulcers forming, or flesh flaking off the wound, or turning dark -- it's off to the doctors you go Spider treatment varies a lot because spiders vary a lot from place to place. As I don't know where you are, I can't say how lethal or safe spiders usually are in your region. Please remember I'm not a doctor. I'm a well-meaning fellow who is likely from far away, and doesn't know your territory. Anything I can tell you is nowhere nearly as good as the information you'd get from a local doctor.

How do you stabilize the casualty's head when performing the jaw-thrust techniques?

How do you make a triangle sling?
Fold a large square of cloth diagonally in half, making a triangle. The elbow goes at the point of the triangle when the two separate tips come together. The two remaining tips -- one goes up the front and the other either goes around the head (if the patient is big or the sling small), or around the back (if there's enough material), and knot they together. Use the knot to adjust the sling so the arm is either perpendicular to the ground, or in whatever comfortable, immobilizing position you want. The remaining point, where the elbow is, can be pinned to the rest of the sling to form a cup to hold the elbow, if you want.
The reason you're using a sling is to immobilize an injury, so that's your design goal when you make one.
Things to avoid or worry about are the victim either being in pain or losing circuloation in the limb. Look for signs of failed circulation (cyanosis, lack of pulse, etc.) and treat that first.
