It’s good for precisely what it’s good for, but not for general bleeding control. For normal austere care, I might keep 1-2 on the house or truck level. For penetrating heavy environments, I’d probably keep one in my ruck.

Yep, for the small ones. I’m probably going to be looking at an IV kit, and airway and minor surgical modules. Maybe wound care as well.

Hey folks, wanted to take a second and start a thread that I don't have much to contribute to yet. I want to talk about the sexy new trend of vacuum packing med supplies at home, crafting your own procedure kits and IFAKs. Has anyone tried this? What kits have you put together? I just grabbed a food...

Looks good. I like the preprinted cards, and keeping them in the bag is really smart.

Those jewelers bags are great. I use a ton of them.

Hope your hand feels better. A few OT sessions will limber up that third digit.

Just a warning to anyone following this, I have, first hand, seen genuine CAT’s ordered from amazon that resulted in counterfeits being delivered. Those counterfeits resulted in a significantly high failure rate when applied. This has happened multiple times. I always get mine through official NARP ...

Upgraded my Medical Kits. Better quality bags overall & obviously in Multicam. Two TSSI M9 thin medical packs, two Mountain Recon Marine Corp squad combat lifesaver bags, two LBT SCOTT medical packs, one LBT "STOMP" medical pack. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/qq266/mags2169/1/20190731_1452...

If any of his family is reading this, please know he will be missed, and genuinely meant something to this community. He and I had some great medical discussions over the years, I am genuinely sorry for your loss.

If you have the funding, I'd recommend making a trauma specific kit and a 'sick call' kit. not many remember the wound care portion and how many dressings you actually need. I would humbly add a traction splint because even if you're the only one to have in the nearest 150 square miles, someone wil...

I can’t wait to see what a 10 year evolution on an Aid bag looks like. I’m... 3 full sized bags past the STOMP2 I was hauling in 2008

Not to derail the thread, but I would be interested in a packing list or pictures of your loadout for your RAMMP. Just picked one up and am interested to see how you set yours up. Mine is set up for expanded infirmary ops, as follows: Six mini pouches on top half: PPE : two ziplocks of exam gloves,...

I’ve been posting a bleeding tip of the day on Facebook, and teach the course for my hospital.

Ian, I'm not sure how I missed this post a year ago, hang on a sec, I'll run through it. The Tactical Practical's sound like it was more of a technical rescue ? If it was Tech Rescue, I 'll bet you know the gear and threat are extremely different. What stage of care did they say you were entering in...

I found it useful last year, and if you are in the ar...

I use a S.O. Tech rammp kit as my jump bag. Its not a particularly budget friendly piece of kit - but you definitely get what you pay for. With everything well organized and labeled its easy to direct a bystander to open the 3rd pocket on the right that says airway and give me the long tube thingy ...

The budget cases are not a bad option, especially if this case won’t see daily austere use. Hobby and hardware stores are great places to pick up organizers to fit the box.

For your question, my go to answer would be the pelican 1600 EMS. That being said, having done this a few times, your best bet is to first figure out specifically what you want to pack, then get a case to fit that, not find the case and load it after. What’s your provider level? How remote is remote...

Nice work, sorry she got hurt. If she’s ok with it, can we get some pics of the wound next dressing change? This could be a cool running case study.

Ok, got the bag out for a three day training session. Some lessons learned. 1) I need an upgraded carry system. This pack is a monster, and it throws the center of gravity farther back than normal. 2) Double waterproofing is better than none. Next time, EVERYTHING is in a ziplock. 3) The concept wor...

Hey Guys, Got back after a very soggy weekend, but learned a ton. Here's a quick overview: NRA Home Firearms Safety Instructor: Cameron Green Great class. Learned unloading process on more than two dozen guns, from blackpowder on up. Also fired a variety of weapons, looking at the difference between...

https://www.mysteryranch.com/med-lid-medical-first-aid-kit-pack-ul-certified-cal-fire-spec-approved-wildland-fire-accessory Hey guys, Have any of you checked one of these out yet? I'm wondering how close the strap placement is to regular Osprey/Gregory type packs, and if this would work as a replac...

Hey,
Either of those are decent kits, and will work for penetrating trauma. To should absolutely keep shears in your kit, I always have a pair or two.

Nice work on getting your basic card. I have done a decent amount of event medical, and you can learn a TON, because you see a wide variety of cases and can learn from some decent providers.

Same as always, underworked & overpaid.. Uhh reverse that :roll: actually leaving the hospital for now and going prehospital. How are you? Still no back hernia from schlepping that STOMP bag around? The STOMP is relegated to the hall closet and camping duty. My bags all fit under the seat of our fa...
