So it's cool we all go shooting, train and larp about operating. But do you nigs have med kits and do they include a tourniquet? Do you know how to use said items? If shit hits the fan IRL, you need to know how to save your buddies and vice-versa. Even in everyday life, having a med-kit with tourniquet in the car, could save someone's life. Do you at least know CPR?

I am a trained EMT I have a full med kit in the car (in bail out bag), one in my range bag and one in the house.. I also carry a tourniquet on me at all times.

I know we have some Medics and Corpsmen on here, please chime in.

I carry a kit when ever i go shooting. Mostly use it when ever my dumb ass brother cuts himself on what ever the fuck were shooting that day. Pretty basic shit but comes in handy ill post a pic when i get home.

What is a good pre put together med kit?
>>
>>31986712
Assume I know jack and shit about med kits, other than the ones at Wal-mart are only good for the box (seriously, the bandaids aren't even decent). If I was to build one from scratch, where do I start, what do I need to learn, and how much could I effectively do myself, to myself? Asking because I want to get a kit for when I start touring next summer.

Another EMT bro (instructor), I keep an IFAK on my range bag and a jump kit in my truck
I brought a 68W ('medic') to my EMT-A class and him and I explained IFAKs and tactical medicine along with gear queer, PTSD and TBI and ambulance ops (since we were behind)

I have a few ifaks from the military but most the stuff like the quik clot expired a while ago. I have Israeli bandages, 2 tq's, tape, scissors and other bandage wraps inside of a small carrier like the op pic. The thing I actually use the most is something we called "vet wrap" a tape that's adhesive to itself and not really anything else.

I have a couple iv sets and bags from a cls kit from 2008 deployment.

I used it on a dog that got hit down the street, paw was hanging by skin, serious road rash etc. The owner asked if I just carried all of this in my car and I just said yeah. Dog ended up having to be put down anyway. I was trained for emergency k9 first aid while a handler in the military so it was almost like I was meant to be there, not trying to be a faggot.

Prior 68w here.
At least one tourniquet 2 is always better IMO.
A package of combat gauze. Either an Israeli or ACE bandage both would be good too. 1 roll of regular gauze and 1 nasopharangel airway.
The standard IFAIKs are pretty much the best thing you can carry in terms of immediate care. Of course you can always tailor it too what you'd expect for where youre going.

Holy fuck bro, I'm an emt and that's really autistic. Where do you keep it? Just keep one in your car.

8404 Corpsman here, I have a shitload of gear from 12 years of service, but being out can really hamper your skills. Keeping fresh is ALWAYS a must, so like trips at the range, getting together with a friend or two and buying unexpired gear on eBay will keep you up to date with those crucial IV skills. Also, it's extremely helpful to volunteer at a local ER, as once in a while (more often based on personal experience) the nurses are cool enough to allow you to help treat a patient or two. Lastly, practicing on pig Feet (they're cheap and have bone, tendon, meat, etc., needed for training) can aid in wound, suture, and post op care. If you can shoot through pig parts on private property, it's even better and really simulates GSW's.

Just finished a CPR and first aid class at the community college. Really basic stuff but I now have a rudimentary med kit in a shitty bag that needs replacing.
I throw it in the car whenever I go out.

I'm going to take such a class from the red cross next month (couldn't get a reservation for one this month).

Shitty air force first aid training here. But I don't really know much beyond that. Good thing I'm engaged to a doctor who wants me to teach her to operate like and operator.

Can anyone recommend a good online store where I can what I'd put in an IFAK?
