Re: New Bleed Control
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.

Re: Food Saver medical recipes
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.

Food Saver medical recipes
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 ...

Re: My Medical/Aid Supplies (Updated Pics)
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...

Re: Weatherproof Wilderness First Response Kit - pelican style?
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...

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 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.

Re: Weatherproof Wilderness First Response Kit - pelican style?
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.

Re: Weatherproof Wilderness First Response Kit - pelican style?
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...

Re: Looking for a specific aid bag.
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,
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.
