Reddit mentions: The best first aid kits

Buy yourself a decent bolt action .22 or a shotgun, a good 3-5" fixed blade knife, a blaze orange hat or vest, and a decent little first aid kit (don't forget a tourniquet).


Step 1: Take a hunters safety/education class.

Some states have classes exclusively for adults. This will give you some basic, but good info on gun/bow safety and state laws pertaining to hunting. In addition, they should have pamphlets that will outline the different hunting seasons, game animals, invasive species, and state/federal hunting areas.

These classes might also help you meet some more experienced folks who could bring you along or offer some valuable advice.


Step 2: Learn how to use your gear.

Your ability with your gear can mean the difference between success and failure on the hunt--and in some cases life and death (especially pertaining to your med kit).

Let's start with the rifle. I like bolt action .22's. You can get a very accurate gun and learn how to use it for very little money. Using a bolt action .22 with iron sights forces the shooter to learn the fundamentals of marksmanship, building a solid foundation for the future.

I like the Savage MkII and the Ruger American.

With either rifle I'd recommend adding a peep sight and a regular 2 point sling.
Both are accurate and inexpensive rifles that you can shoot day in and day out for years.

You should be able to find a range with at least 50 yards to sight in (aka zero) your rifle. If you need guidance here, there are plenty of online resources, however, you'd do better to ask an experienced shooter for a hand. Be sure to use the same ammo for zero and hunting.

For shotguns you can't beat the versatility of a Remington 870 or Mossberg 500. Get either gun in 12 or 20 gauge. The beauty of these two is that you are always a simple barrel change away from being able to shoot birdshot (birds small game) or slugs (everything else).

With a good .22 and a good shotgun, you should be able to hunt most wild game in North America. There are better calibers and rifles for specific hunting applications but those two will do it all.

What I don't recommend for hunting rifles/shotguns and why:

1 I don't like scopes (at first). Forcing yourself to learn on iron sights means you develop a firm foundation in the fundamentals. I remember wanting a scope for my .22 so bad, so my dad made me a deal. I had to kill 100 red squirrels or starlings and 10 groundhogs before he'd let me add a scope. It took me the better part of a summer to accomplish this but I walked away from that summer being able to put lead on just about anything within 150 yards of that little rifle.

2 I don't like autoloaders (at first). Simply because shooting a bolt gun means you have one, maybe two shots to get the job done. You learn to make ever shot count. Once you are proficient, go wild.

3 I don't like tactical/tacticool rifles for beginners or really hunting for that matter. They are usuallly auto loaders (see #2), heavier, and more expensive. You don't feel so bad taking your $230 Savage through brambles, tripping over roots and dropping it, or leaning it up against a rusty fence post. If you don't trust me, look at what the professional hunters use.

Extras: buy a quality, brass rod cleaning kit and some decent gun oil (or CLP) for deep cleans. Keep a [Bore Snake](.22 .223 .25 CAL Bore Snake Cleaner Kit Cord Rope Brass https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JKSNVTK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_XRfGzbN7P8Z58) in an extra pocket for the times you get dirt or debris in the barrel.


Get yourself a good knife. I always have my pocket knife (a CRKT M21-02G) and a skinner when I'm hunting.

For a pocket knife use what suits you. For a skinner I really like knives like the Schrade Old Timer 158 for general skinning and this blade from Ontario Knife.

You also need a good way to keep your knives sharp. I've had a lot of luck with the. [Lansky System](Lansky Deluxe 5-Stone Sharpening System https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000B8IEA4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_85fGzbBRJDH6K).


Last, please get yourself a decent med kit. Too many people have died in the woods due to a knife accident or gun accident that could have been easily treated.

You can easily make yourself a basic kit or buy one like [this](Ever Ready First Aid Meditac Tactical Trauma IFAK Kit with Trauma Pack Quickclot and Israeli Bandage in Molle Pouch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GAAMS2M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_iagGzb76NGQZJ) pre-made.

This kit has everything you need except for a tourniquet like [this](Tourniquet - (Black) Recon Medical Gen 3 Mil-Spec Kevlar Metal Windlass Aluminum Lightweight First Aid Tactical Swat Medic Pre-Hospital Life Saving Hemorrhage Control Registration Card (1 Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ETMVQOI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fcgGzbSAMKAWS) and an Israeli Bandage like [this](Ever Ready Bandage Battle Dressing First Aid Compression Bandage, 6 Inch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003DPVERM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_1cgGzb9C9H5WP).

You can learn to use all this stuff over the course of an hour via YouTube. You would do better to find a nurse, paramedic, or Navy Corpsman to give you a crash course in the use of the contents of your IFAK. If you can find a Corpsman, they are probably the best for this kind of thing. Lots of good tips and tricks for field use...plus you can pay them in beer.

Don't forget to add extras like any medication you might need, chapstick, Bayer aspirin (good for headaches and heart attacks), a little tube of antibacterial ointment, and a couple fabric bandages.

If you won't carry this on your person, keep it in your vehicle.

For good practice I like squirrel and rabbit hunting. Makes you consider a lot about safety, a lot about taking only the good shots, plus they are easy to clean and good to eat.


Last learn how to use what you kill.

If you are hunting varmits, that is one thing. I shoot invasive species (when legal), and varmits that are causing a nuisance and that is reason enough for me.

If you are hunting anything else for exclusively for sport, please use it. You can use some of the books referenced earlier to learn about skinning and field dressing. I like to watch shows like Meat Eater, to learn better ways to use the meat I've harvested. Once you get into cooking game meat, you will wonder why you ever went to the store for meat.

Just don't forget that hunting is about stewardship and learning. It's a lifelong pursuit that is very rewarding.

Always be safe, always be ethical, always be responsible, always have fun.

Edit: If you ever find yourself in south central or southwest Michigan, I can help you with anything I've outlined above. I'm a lifelong hunter, a lifelong shooter, a small arms instructor in the military, a certified combat lifesaver, and a decent game cook.

Stansport Scout, about as basic a tent as you can find. You can find others on Amazon, but they're all pretty much the same. I used one in the 70's as a Scout and I really wouldn't use one today for a lot of reasons... but the main one was that it was hard to get in and out as a teen without knocking the pole out of place and collapsing the tent (or have others steal your poles in the middle of the night). Can't see it being easy as an adult to get in and out without knocking over the poles.

Klymit Static V. Pretty good pad for the price. Of course you can find cheaper knock-offs, but this one is fairly well rated and comfortable enough and warm enough for three seasons. But if you want something for winter, you'll need something a lot more expensive like the Exped Downmat 9.

A sleeping bag down to -18C, think you need to go with a good bag like the Feathered Friends Widgeon. Not something I'd like to carry with me during the summer, you might want to pick up a nice 30F bag for the other three seasons.

Amazon Basics now carries a very popular cookset. The Etekcity Stove is a good stove for the price; the quality isn't as good as the MSR Pocket Rocket 2, but you get two for $20 which is a really good deal. While you can buy one for $15, might as well spend a few extra bucks and get a spare.

As for the FAK, I try to carry the smallest one possible, one that I've whipped together based on what I usually need. However, if you're looking for a bug-out bag, you may want a nice big kit like the Adventure Medical Sportsman Series which can deal with more serious wounds. Still, you can just look around, there plenty of lists for building your own kit.

The other thing you'll need is a water purifier. The ones backpackers use like the Sawyer Squeeze are considered "filters", they're designed to draw water from clean fresh sources and can fliter out things like Crypto and Giardia but not pollutants like heavy metals or pesticides; for a bug out bag you may want a more expensive purifier that can remove heavy metals and chemicals. Actually don't have a recommendation there... but you could just pick up a Sawyer and make sure you draw from clean sources.

Okay, awesome. Thank you for breaking out in more context. So in a bug in scenario, taking into account you have short term heat supply and I assume you would be able to boil water in case of water contamination in the earthquake zone. Even flooding at times can contaminate water supplies. However it would be a good idea to get either individual Sawyer water filtration kits that way everyone would be responsible for their own. Especially if you have children. I know you wanted links to Amazon, but I feel it is best to direct you write you the product source and therefore you can find them and what you want on Amazon. It is ultimately your decision.

https://sawyer.com/products/type/water-filtration/

As for storage, I found that you can get these 6 gallon Ozark Trail water cans which were made by Reliance. There about 12 to $13 each. I have two of them for absolute emergency filtered water. I'm sure if you did a little digging, you can find those on Amazon as well.

Next I would say having food that you do not have to worry about preparing would be key. Especially if you have a place to cook and boil water. Having a few buckets of meals that can be made inside their own mylar bags is key. This is a calculation you will want to take into account for your self. Since you have two people leaving you'll have you your spouse and someone else left. It might be easier to decide how much money to spend on emergency food. My mother personally has bought two buckets of her own food, one for her and one for her husband. They're easy to carry if you did have to leave in a hurry.

House for medical, I have always found it easier to get an all in one trauma kit. Those kits can be fully stocked for first responders. Here's what I found on Amazon. As I am NOT a first responder, I cannot point you in a direction that is better or worse. However I have found that buying complete kits for first responders generally have what you need in them. You may want to also look for small suture kits if these do not have them in them.

http://www.amazon.com/Ever-Ready-First-Aid-Responder/dp/B000I2RM3S

You mentioned tools, that is a huge spectrum. Are you talking about tools for debris removal, home repair, or what are you looking to achieve when you talk about tools?

I know you meant cheap palatable food and water storage in the beginning. Water storage can be done cheaply to a point. But when it comes to the food, that is where you want to spend your money. There are plenty of emergency foods out there, not all of them are palatable. When you look into mountain house and wise food company. Those are the types that can be done inside the bag. That in and of itself means as long as you can boil clean water, you are good to go. I'm assuming you live in California, since you mention flooding and earthquakes. Do you have any means to defend yourself? If there is a major earthquake how long does it take for people to get to you? Meaning are desperate people going to make their way out of that city and come up the hill to find you?

tl;dr. I know that you're getting Amazon gift cards, I wanted to at least give you general ideas so you can look at the links and will most likely be able to find everything on Amazon. Maybe you focus your money on food and the other links will help you put some cash together. If everyone that is staying together is chipping in, that will help greatly.

For that price you won't be getting ultralight on the big 3: backpack, sleeping bag, and tent. Unfortunately those are the largest, heaviest, and most difficult to go light weight on a budget. The majority of the other items are pretty good UL gear. You can, for example, get a lighter titanium stove. It'll save you about 2oz and double the cost. Eventually the 2oz there and a few more oz here and there on a number of pieces of gear really add up so you may want to swap it out as you upgrade your gear over time. But for right now one in the price/weight range I suggested is really good ultra light weight bang for your buck.

1. Alice Backpack $35 -- Watch some youtube videos on how to strap your tent/sleeping bag/sleeping pad to the pack safely and securely. Alternatively buy a used backpack off Craigslist for dirt cheap. This is the third thing I'd upgrade, once you have a lighter/smaller sleeping bag and tent.
   
2. Slumberjack 40 degree sleeping bag $98 -- Upgrade to down-filled rather than synthetic if you can, also make sure it's temperature appropriate for your trips. This is the first place I'd personally choose to upgrade.
   
3. Coleman Sundome $36 -- Any name brand dome tent is great for beginners. I picked a 2-person since you don't seem to know what you're doing (not an insult) I assume you'll be bringing a buddy! This is the 2nd thing I'd personally choose to upgrade to something that compacts down small enough to fit inside my backpack.
   
4. MSR Pocket Rocket butane stove $32 -- Not the greatest or the absolute lightest, but one of the more popular light weight stoves. A can of fuel is $5 at Wal-Mart or pretty much any sporting goods store.
   
5. Primus Litech 10oz kettle $25-- From this kit you really just want the pot and lid. You can leave the pan at home. According to the ad it is big enough to hold the 230g sized butane cannister previously mentioned. I suggest either eating things that require no cooking or just boiling water like any number of Mountain House or alternative meals available in the sporting goods section of Wal-Mart or any sporting goods store.
   
6. Stansport Back Packing Pad $10 -- One of the simplest items to upgrade, but "nicer" ones are $30-100+.
   
7. Titanium Spork $9 -- The only cookware you'll need for most those backpacking freeze-dried meals where you just add hot water and eat out of the pouch.
   
8. 4-pack of ponchos $4 -- These are stupid small and light. They're shit quality and rip easy so they're mostly one time use.. but at $1/ea you can pack one per day, who cares? Nice rain gear is hella expensive.
   
9. Base Layer -- If you don't already own it, buy some polyester/spandex "athletic" under-shirts and pants. They're stupid light, wick away your sweat, and add lots of warmth per ounce and cubic inch of pack space. I picked up a random set from Ross yesterday (bottoms and short sleeve top) for $20 combined. Generally speaking, avoid cotton for all clothing.
   
10. Rip-Stop/hiking/tactical pants $40/pair -- I can't pick these out for you because sizing/style preference, but the fairly cheap ones are about that price per pair.
    
11. AMK First Aid Kit $23 -- This is likely way more than you need and you could probably put together a decent one in a zip-loc baggy with stuff you have around the house. Don't forget to add any prescriptions you have or anything for special needs (allergies).
    
12. Survival Whistle $6 -- You can find cheaper ones at Wal-Mart maybe...
    
13. Signal Mirror $8 -- A woman's "compact" makeup mirror could get you this for free
    
14. Aquamira water treatment drops $14 -- You may also prefer iodine tablets or a filter. You can get a basic Sawyer filter from Wal-Mart for about $25.
    
    That totals out at $365 and covers most of your bases of things you'll need to buy. Most everything else is going to be like soap, toothbrush, etc. which I'm assuming you already have. I really like the HikeLight 3-day camping checklist. You won't be able to get most (any?) of the gear on this list at your price range, but just make sure you have a comparable replacement. Yours will likely just be bigger and/or heavier than their suggested ones. http://hikelight.com/gearlist.html
    
    Happy backpacking!

Canadian version:

Amazon has far fewer selections for my maple leaf friends. Not sure about alternative or best options up north. Please suggest less expensive options if you have them!

Duct tape: 1.88in x 10yds CDN$2.41 https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B008MI42EW
Countless uses for the backpacker / camper, from tourniquet, fracture splinting, reinforcement of wound dressings, fashioning a moleskin barrier for blisters, not to mention tent, pack or sleeping bag repair. Grab a few extra straws from your local fast food joint, trim them to 2 inches, then roll up 4 to 6ft lengths of duct tape around the straw. The straw in the middle doubles as a pocket billows for fire starting.

Lip balm, burn treatment, also apply to rashes, blisters and abrasions to keep gauze from adhering. Doubles as an excellent fire accelerant for bushcrafting. I squeeze some on a cotton ball to use with my tender for catching a spark.

Please clearly label each baggie using an indelible marker with name of med, adult dose and expiration date. Pediatric dose optional. Individual “gas station” packets are much more expensive but if routinely carried in vehicle this may be a consideration (law enforcement doesn’t like unlabeled pills floating around in baggies).

NiceEshop First Aid Bags (empty), CDN$10.59 ea https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01LXS8QE1
Highly optional but nice for making your kit look pretty if you’re giving these away as gifts. I double wrap mine in gallon ziploc bags for moisture control.

A printable first aid primer: https://s3.amazonaws.com/yohsresourcelibrary/First+Aid+Quick+Guide.pdf
Certainly not a comprehensive guide, but has some key information like how to perform CPR.

It looks like your price is about CDN$28 per kit.

I apologize in advance for this long post. None of these are "must gets", but they are what I got for my 2016 Premium forester. I'm posting this for my own future reference as well as to help some people who are wondering what accessories might be good for their new forester. I highly recommend ordering from Jackie from Annapolis Subaru @ 443-837-1422 as she can get you some good prices on the subaru accessories as well as WeatherTech products! I saved on WeatherTech shipping costs (~$20) by ordering through Jackie and the warranty is the same as if I had bought them through their website.

Please note that some of these accessory links are for my specific car year, model and configuration. I have a 2016 Premium forester without eyesight (affects the Covercraft/heatshield sunshade - they also have eyesight compatible sunshades!).

Also, I personally didn't get my windows tinted, but I think that is something that you should seriously consider doing :)

I would disagree with other users here, building your own kit will save a decent amount of money

What are you looking to put into these IFAKs? Here are some links that a 'basic' would have

4 pack of chest seals $29.19 (one in each kit)

20 count 5x9 combine pads $7.99 (two or so in each kit)

Isreali Bandage (non-amazon link as there have been many issues with amazon selling Isreali bandages and people getting knock-offs, youll want the 4in 'new manufacture' which come in a grey outer pouch, open the outer pouch and put them in the IFAK like that (they are double sealed/this will leave them sealed in a see through rip away plastic which can be used as an occlusive dressing) one in each kit.


2 Hemostatic Gauze $19.97 (open outer pack, put one 'inner' pack in each kit)

12 pack of 2in roller gauze $4.80 (one, maybe two in each kit, can be replaced with a triangular bandage instead)

12 Triangular Bandages (Cravats) $6.80 - these are multi-use, bleeding control, securing a dressing, TQ use etc. most opt not to have them but theyre a great 'multi-use' item I carry in every IFAK (one in each kit)

2 pack trauma shears $9.99 (one in each kit)

2 pack CAT tourniquets $53.98, one reason to go with amazon is the easy returns, which is a double edged sword, a lot of people will buy fake CATs for cheap, purchase real ones for $$ then 'return' the real ones with the cheap fake ones, look up lot codes when you get them if it doesnt look the part return it. Stay away from the thin elastic "pocket tourniquets" (one in each kit)

Rip away IFAK MOLLE pouch $14.99 each, depending on color. I prefer these over just a MOLLE pouch, unbuckle and use or throw to someone else without having to lug w.e. equipment the pouch is attached to - or leave off the MOLLE backing and put inside a pack loose


Personally I dont put airway in my IFAKs but do in a larger kit thats nearby - if you want links to NPAs a pretty good general size to go with would be a 26, dont forget lube or really you can just spit on them. Same with a decompression needle, not going to be in my IFAK.

More importantly than any of this stuff is training, you can do a lot more with training than you can with a 'be all end all kit'. Dont be afraid to adapt a kit to your environment, for example if you're going far away from civilization consider you might do wound packing and need more hemostatic gauze, but if you're right down the street from a hospital you probably wont want to pack a wound with a homeostatic agent but that will depend on the situation.

The purpose of an IFAK is to get you to a larger first aid kit/medical help.

(I purchase medical supplies for the EMS company I work for, Amazon prices are generally cheaper than buying from a distributor unless you're looking to build dozens of these kits and even then certain items will still be cheaper especially factoring in shipping) Any questions feel free to ask

I am The Potluck Ninja. It is my mission to wander in and out of potluck dinners leaving nary a trace of my presence. No plates, no napkins, just take a scoop outta the closest nearby dish and move down to the next dish in line. The only casualty thus far? The provided plasticware.

I grab a fork, a knife, and a spoon from the far end of the table, because one can never know what food choices will be presented. There could be salad, perhaps a chicken, or most likely... a casserole. And then, it never fails.... Not only are my plastic utensils clinking together as I move about the feast, but switching back and forth between them slows me down and at the end of my dining infiltration, I have to dispose of them... leaving evidence!! This is not the way of a true Potluck Ninja.

Enter, THE SPORK. THIS add-on item is the last tool in my quest to become Potluck Ninja SUPREME! Not only does it provide the stab, scoop, and slice qualities of it's individual counterparts, but standing alone it remains both silent... and reusable! Just a quick luscious lick on it's way to the pocket and that spork has disappeared... just like me... with nary a trace that either of us were ever there.

Of course, just like anything else, there's bound to be a learning curve in my training regimen with this new stab/scoop/slice weapon. Therefore, I also request THIS ITEM! It even comes with the Save-A-Tooth Preservation System! After all, better to be safe than sorry.

They will call me... The Prudent Potluck Ninja Supreme!

> Schmad on my add on

And now... NINJA VANISH!!!

TQ's are great if you can get someone to an ambulance within a couple hours. And you can always jam some hemostatic dressing in there too.

You have two good options for chemical agents that I'm aware of. QuikClot, which comes primarily in sponges and z-fold, and Celox, which comes in granules (and other forms). If you get quikclot, I'd stick with the z-fold, as it's much easier to pack into a wound. Roll the end up into a ball and jam that sucker in. Great for GSW's or if someone gets hit with an axe. It comes in two strengths as well. If you're hunting or in an area with hunters, just spend the $40 and get the Combat Gauze LE strength. If you're not, you can get the less potent stuff that comes in a white pouch and costs more in the $20 ballpark. It'll work fine for most anything short of massive trauma like a GSW. I don't know as much about Celox, as I've only been trained on QuikClot, but my understanding is that the loose pouches of granules are better for what you'd use something like superglue on, where you need more than pressure but not necessarily to the point of immediate evac or a TQ. It's also, from my understanding, no longer a thermal reaction like it used to be and is safer to leave in for a period of time than QuikClot.

For reference, in addition to basic medical stuff (meds/boo-boo kit), my trauma "kit" consists of a TQ, celox powder, and a pressure dressing. Though most of my trips are within a couple hours of a hospital and I'm generally not worried about someone getting shot.

So many ideas just by searching rescue kit or first aid kit.

Also try “EDC” search on Amazon or Google.


Good luck!

I have this same one. It's a very good starter kit and comes with a pretty awesome BP Cuff and Stethoscope! It's perfect for what you're looking for, OP.

I'm currently building my own first aid kit. I found it's best to go out and make your own kit.

That being said I found this kit to be a good start. Then add what other things you think of.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000069EYA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_e2uEi3ujTvX85



Things I added were a tourniquet, a sam splint, a small maglight with batteries, toilet paper, a little food like trail mix, bottled water, tums, scissors, a good multi tool. But that's all up to you. Whatever you add make sure you understand how to use it.


Now here is a post I just made. Don't take it as a must have, or even a should have. I am just sharing what I have in my kit. And things I wanted, and know how to use. It also isn't complete. https://www.reddit.com/r/firstaid/comments/5tde37/this_is_my_first_aid_kit_in_the_making_so_please/

In a mass casualty situation, I would completely ignore anyone that needed CPR and focus on the bleeders. The time you spend giving one person CPR could be used stabilizing a dozen people who are bleeding.

For extremities, the most useful thing is a tourniquet. I prefer one with a windlass like a [CAT] (https://www.amazon.com/C--Combat-Application-Tourniquet-GENERATION/dp/B018R73OWI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468623443&sr=8-1&keywords=gen+7+cat+tourniquet) or [SOFTT] (https://www.amazon.com/Tac-Med-Solutions-SOFTT-W-Tourniquet/dp/B00E3W3BK2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1468623620&sr=8-2&keywords=sof-t) over a [TK4] (https://www.amazon.com/H-Associates-TK4-Tourniquet/dp/B003YHGKF0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468623679&sr=8-1&keywords=tk4+tourniquet) or [SWAT] (https://www.amazon.com/SWAT-T-Tourniquet-Black-1-Count/dp/B003IWNOVO/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1468623735&sr=8-2&keywords=swat+tourniquet).

For injuries to the abdomen, armpit, crotch, or neck; you will want a homeostatic agent. [Combat Gauze] (https://www.amazon.com/QuickClot-Combat-Gauze-Z-Fold/dp/B001E1CLTC/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1468623859&sr=8-1&keywords=combat+gauze) is the way to go here, it is much better than powdered QuickClot.

For penetrating chest trauma (also called 'sucking chest wounds'), you need a large, occlusive bandage on both the entry and exit. In clinical testing of chest seals, the [Halo] (https://www.amazon.com/Progressive-Medical-Performance-Occlusive-Dressing/dp/B003VSORKC/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1468624256&sr=8-3&keywords=chest+seal) and [Hyfin] (https://www.amazon.com/North-American-Rescue-Hyfin-Chest/dp/B00KQS2NGK/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1468624483&sr=8-1&keywords=hyfin) drastically outperformed the [Asherman] (https://www.amazon.com/Rusch-Inc-849100-Asherman-Chest/dp/B0015TE9N4/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1468624546&sr=8-2&keywords=asherman+chest+seal).

I also personally have a [decompression needle] (http://www.rescue-essentials.com/h-h-needle-decompression-kit-tpak/) to treat tension pneumothorax, but I advise you not to get it unless you have specific training on it.

For general bleeding the [Israeli bandage] (https://www.amazon.com/Israeli-Bandage-Shipped-Israel-Inches/dp/B00JKMPJBY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1468625201&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=israeli+bandage&psc=1) is way better than other bandages.

You will also want an [NPA] (https://www.amazon.com/Nasopharyngeal-Airway-Fr-9-3mm-Surgilube/dp/B003950R2E/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1468625347&sr=8-1&keywords=nasal+pharyngeal+airway) to help keep an open airway.

Edit, I forgot that you are also going to want a good pair of [trauma shears] (https://www.amazon.com/Madison-Supply-Premium-Fluoride-Scissors/dp/B00YFG1U86/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468625730&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=trauma+shears&psc=1).

Some other things to consider are rubber gloves, [Kerlix] (https://www.amazon.com/Original-Kerlix-Sterile-Bandage-Rolls/dp/B00UAULWR0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468626013&sr=8-1&keywords=kerlix), [cravats] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HBG726G/ref=ox_sc_mini_detail?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AR9BYY7RS0Q08), [medical tape] (https://www.amazon.com/Durapore-Medical-Tape-Silk-yards/dp/B000C4O7GC/ref=sr_1_2_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1468626363&sr=1-2&keywords=medical+tape), a [SAM splint] (https://www.amazon.com/SAM-Rolled-Splint-Orange-Blue/dp/B001J5H92C/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1468626238&sr=1-1&keywords=sam+splint), and a [space blanket] (https://www.amazon.com/Emergency-Mylar-Blankets-84-52/dp/B004356WLY/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1468626282&sr=1-1&keywords=space+blanket).

Before someone says it, sanitary napkins or tampons are NOT the best thing for bullet wounds. I will copy and paste the post that I keep have to do every few weeks when reddit inevitably starts jerkin that circle:

If you have to improvise a wound dressing for gunshot and all you have are tampons, then yes. Stuff SEVERAL in the wound to compress the surrounding tissues and stifle bleeding/promoting coagulation.

THE REAL step number one for any severe bleeding is call 911 (or for medevac depending on your circumstances), then apply direct pressure, preferably with barriers like gloves, goggles, and mask in between you and the injured persons blood.

Tampons are not made to absorb the amount of flow that comes out of a GSW, and they are not sterile. Again they would not be the first choice for a GSW, but better than nothing.

First choice would be properly preparing by ordering these products and placing them in your first aid kid and/or range bag.

1. First Aid Kit This one is adequate for multi-day trips and as a base to build on.
   
   
2. Tourniquet Adequate, learn how to use it, and practice one-handed in case of disabling injury.
   
   
3. Celox Injector for Penetrating Injury Good for stabs and very large pokes as well as GSW.
   
   
4. Chest Seals Good for sucking chest wound to treat/prevent collapsed lungs.
   
   Above all, learn and know First Aid and CPR, use the four (five) firearms safety rules, and avoid situations in which gunfire might be exchanged.
   
   If you have any questions I will be happy to answer them.

A fire extinguisher and a first aid kit. The day of moving in to my first place I sliced my finger badly opening a box. Bleeding every where. Couldn't find a thing to wrap it with (cause hey moving) needed 4 stitches. Definitely wish I had a first aid kit then.

Also a base ball bat or a golf club near the door. Lol I just felt safer knowing I had something close by to defend myself with.

I like surprises :)

I just graduated from college!

And let me tell you... the following items served me incredibly well!

• Foldable clothes drying rack
  
  
• Heated Mattress Pad (most dorm beds are Twin XL, so I've linked that size here) and Electric Blanket - you're living on campus now, but you probably won't beyond freshman year. Trust me, invest in this. Electricity is sooo much cheaper than gas. Not to mention powering an electric blanket is way cheaper than heating an entire house/apartment!
  
  
• Shower Tote - easily carry all of your toiletries to the commons shower and toilet rooms!
  
  
• Bath towel wrap - Men and Ladies
  
  
• Basic First-Aid Kit
  
  Would you like a falafel with that?

North American Rescue Hyfin Vent Chest Seal 4 Count https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M9C9BSX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_XgBGDbQW42752
Here are the ones we train with. I’d love it if you bought from us, but amazon free shipping is hard to pass up.

Yup, just buy good quality ones.

Practice practice practice. Buy an orange tq and an extra Israeli, try it wet, with gloves, in the dark.

Well I've had this on my wish list for sometime now and I whole hardheartedly think of it as more of a survival tool than martial arts. But seeing as I'm a Marine, I have the mantra - "One mind, Any weapon".

Also, this and this would be for bug out purposes, or for those that aren't very inclined, emergency purposes.

Thanks for running this one. Have a great day.

Great start. I would add a small hiking first aid kit like this. Plus I always recommend adding Immodium and Benadryl to first aid kits. They're probably the two OTCs most likely to save a life.

First Aid Box! I like to have all of my health stuff organized. :) (It's on my Health & Wellness list.)

Thanks for the contest!

Here is the kit, I have a couple of these, they work great in car glove boxes, backpacks, and occasionally in cargo pockets. Just a note, lots of Amazon reviewers indicate that this may have old QC in it, maybe best to buy in person.

This one looks pretty good.

https://smile.amazon.com/First-Aid-Only-All-purpose-299-Piece/dp/B000069EYA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1486762023&sr=8-3&keywords=first+aid+kit

Yea, superglue does wonders for small cuts. Just make sure to clean it well first.

I drink way too much water all the time, thus the large amount of water I bring with me on trips. Also, haven't invested in a filtration device yet, but that is next!

So, from left to right:

• Canon T6 with 18-55mm lens and two extra batteries - Good starter camera (Just getting into photography)
  
  
• Nalgene 1L bottle
  
  
• Paracord Survival Bracelet - has compass, flint, and knife
  
  
• Gerber Multi-Tool
  
  
• Cheap $9 "Survival Knife" from walmart with flint
  
  
• Coleman 300 Lumen flashlight with extra batteries
  
  
• Cheap 200 Lumen headlamp with extra batteries
  
  
• A way too big first aid kit (has basically everything you need for anything)
  
  
• Portwest Classic Rain Jacket (also very cheap with no liner, will be upgrading sooner than later!)
  
  
• And lastly, the Teton Sports Oasis 1100 Hydration pack. I've upgraded the 2-liter bladder in this to a 3 liter camelback bladder since I drink way to much water!
  
  And that's it! Here's the links to everything below:

• Paracord: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FZBZWHE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

• Coleman Light: https://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Divide-300-Lumen-BatteryLock-Flashlight/dp/B01BUEO9LA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1495394484&sr=8-2&keywords=Coleman+300+Lumen

My life would greatly improve with This bathroom set because ours is falling apart and looks like crap, or This table because our current one is a safety hazard to our three children or a weight set to get into shape.

Somethings I think you should add to your list are: one, two, three, because I noticed you like camping as well. We try to camp as often as possible it is just so relaxing getting to get away from everything for a weekend.

• Sawyer Mini Water Filter
  
  
• Ferrocerium Rod
  
  
• Morakniv Companion
  
  
• Cotton Bandanna
  
  
• Reusable Mylar Blanket
  
  
• SAK Classic
  
  
• AMK Trauma Pack
  
  
• Signal Mirror
  
  
• Compass
  
  These are just suggestions, I'm sure there are cheaper or better quality alternatives to these, but it's a good start.
  
  Also, you're a cool brother.

I've found the below kit to be great for the price, and relatively compact. Not too many unnecessaries, but could use more meds.

For my first these are things I liked:

This grooming kit - https://www.target.com/p/safety-1st-174-deluxe-healthcare-grooming-kit-various-colors/-/A-12873028?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&CPNG=PLA_Baby+Shopping&adgroup=SC_Baby&LID=700000001170770pgs&network=g&device=m&location=9005544&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpIPH0rim2QIVQrjACh0zFwJFEAQYASABEgLX0PD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

And we also got an ear thermometer - https://www.target.com/p/braun-thermoscan-174-ear-thermometer-with-exactemp-153-technology/-/A-16522288?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&CPNG=PLA_Baby+Shopping&adgroup=SC_Baby&LID=700000001170770pgs&network=g&device=m&location=9005544&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5O-m6Lim2QIV1rXACh077Ag6EAQYAiABEgKfrPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

We didn’t go overboard on lotions and stuff like that. I know we got a lot of sort of all purpose body wash things and gift kits at my showers but didn’t use anything like that for a while on the new baby!

We also used the A and D diaper ointment and had stuff like Aquaphor around for when she got drool rash.

Thanks, I actually went with this one and fits great.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H3HDMDO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Would this be a good kit to keep for hunting / shooting or is it to big to keep handy? Seems like exactly what you would need for an accident like this but is probably to big to fit in a pocket like you suggest...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003BS2PW4/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_1hyDyb3550CB2

I have this one, not sure if it is any good, but better than nothing Adventure Trauma Pack. Is there anything else I should add?

Here's what's in mine:

(6) Aspirin tablets
(6) Ibuprofen tablets
(6) Extra-strength non-aspirin tablets
(14) Alcohol cleansing pads
(15) BZK antiseptic towelettes
(6) Antibiotic ointment packs
(2) First aid cream packs
(3) Insect sting relief pads
(1) Burn relief pack 3.5 gm
(2) 6"x11/16" Finger splint
(2) 1/2"x5 yd. First aid tape roll
(2) Exam quality vinyl gloves
(10) Latex exam gloves
(1) First aid guide
(1) Emergency blanket
(3) 2"x2" Moleskin squares
(10) 3" Cotton tipped applicators
(1) 4"x5" Instant cold compress
(1) one time use Thermometer
(1) 4-1/2" nickel plated Scissors
(1) 4" plastic Tweezers
(75) 3/4"x3" Adhesive plastic bandages
(20) 3/4"x3" Fabric bandages
(30) 1"x3" Adhesive plastic bandages
(10) 1"x3" Fabric bandages
(4) Knuckle fabric bandages
(4) Fingertip fabric bandages
(2) 2"x4" Elbow & knee plastic bandages
(50) 3/8"x1-1/2" Junior plastic bandages
(1) 1-1/2"x1-1/2" Patch plastic bandage
(3) Butterfly wound closures
(1) 2" Conforming gauze roll bandage
(6) 2"x2" Gauze dressing pads
(4) 3"x3" Gauze dressing pads
(2) 4"x4" Gauze dressing pads
(1) 5"x9" Trauma pad
(1) Sterile eye pad

Which is basically the contents of a store-bought first aid kit, with some extra stuff added in. Just search for a nice, compact kit on Amazon, and add any extra items in there you might want.

Basically you're looking to be able to handle the basics. The most likely things that are to happen, that you can actually treat out in the middle of nowhere, or stranded in your car or something. Cuts, scrapes, minor burns, sprains, etc.

Here's a nice little kit for about $15.00. No way you could buy all that stuff separate for fifteen bucks.

This one is pricey, but small. About the size of two credit cards next to each other.

This one is cheaper, but bigger. It'll only fit in a cargo pocket. I bought two of these from Academy yesterday, along with some extra QuikClot gauze and two SOF-T tourniquets. I've got one set in the toolbox of my truck, and one in my backpack.

Here's a few things I've bought off Amazon that I've been really happy with:

Minus33 Merino Wool Day Hiker Sock

Magnesium Fire Starter

Bahco 396-LAP Laplander Folding Saw

Sawyer Products Mini Water Filtration System

Morakniv Companion Fixed Blade Outdoor Knife with Carbon Steel Blade

Nalgene Translucent Wide Mouth Bottle With Blue Lid

Outdoor Products 3-Pack Ultimate Dry Sack

Rayovac Sportsman 22 Lumen 1AAA Headlight

Adventure Medical Kits Adventure First Aid 2.0

Suunto M-3 D/L Compass

Right. How would clumsy me know this, or this, or this was a first aid bag from my overnight toiletries bag? Thank god there is a deal for this empty first aid bag with its big, red logo on it lol.

From the inventory of that kit vs. a lazy Amazon search:

QuikClot clotting sponge

$10.99

SWAT-T Tourniquet

$12.03

Nitrile Gloves

$0.24

Antiseptic wipe

$.06

Disposable bag

$.09

Trauma pad (5 x 9 in)

$1

Duct tape (2 x 26 in)

$0.06

TOTAL $23.47, leaving you $11.52 to package it in something waterproof and cheap like a ZipLoc bag (so you can see what's in it), and add the other boring stuff you'll need 99% of the time like band aids, tweezers, immodium, ibuprofen, antihistamine, etc. You'll even have 178' of left over duct tape for taping the living crap out of everything around you.

Also, if you don't have (recent -- as in the last couple of years) training on when it's appropriate to use a tourniquet, chances are you'll do more harm than good with it. A lot of the medical philosophy around using them has changed with all the recent combat experience US forces have experienced.

-)

These guys (Adventure Medical -- same company) actually put out a very smart, more comprehensive kit for $29.99:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000G80KZQ

Or for something a little lighter and single-person, their $14.99 kit is great (to which I added a clotting sponge):

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AAZ08ES

I think people are better off buying a kit that covers the 99% first, and THEN adding to it a bit of trauma kit (after taking a ALS/EMT course so they actually know what to do with it).

Might be worth checking out this first aid kit. I also like to have a SAM splint on me. It's light and can be shaped to fit whatever space you want to store it in.

It's essentially half of this kit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000069EYA/

• (3) 2x Aspirin tablets
  
• (3) 2x Ibuprofen tablets
  
• (3) 2x Extra-strength non-aspirin tablets
  
• (7) Alcohol cleansing pads
  
• (7) BZK antiseptic towelettes
  
• (3) Antibiotic ointment packs
  
• (1) First aid cream packs

• (10) 1"x3" Adhesive plastic bandages
  
• (5) 1"x3" Fabric bandages
  
• (2) Knuckle fabric bandages
  
• (2) Fingertip fabric bandages
  
• (1) 2"x4" Elbow & knee plastic bandages
  
• (20) 3/8"x1-1/2" Junior plastic bandages
  
• (1) Butterfly wound closures
  
• (3) 2"x2" Gauze dressing pads
  
• (2) 3"x3" Gauze dressing pads
  
• (1) 4"x4" Gauze dressing pads
  
• (1) 1/2"x5 yd. First aid tape roll
  
• (1) 2"x2" Moleskin

You can never be too prepared :)

I have 4 of these already (one in each car, in range bag, and in my bug out bag)


For those interested, this is the Adventure First Aid: 2.0 kit available for under $20 on Amazon.

This is pretty minimal and useful I think. Used to keep one in the car and my parents have it now.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003BS2PW4?pc_redir=1409578536&robot_redir=1

My base kit is the Adventure Medical Kits Adventure First Aid 2.0 First Aid Kit. To that I add an extra large ace bandage, a hemostatic agent such as Celox/Quikclot, steri strips, and then a few extra medications such as anti-diarrheal that aren't included in the kit. Here is an excellent First Aid Kit article that I always refer people too.

I've got a couple things on my list this fine Friday.

• First, A million thanks to I922sParCir for driving 1000 CCI Small Pistol Primers all the way from Arizona to Southern California so I wouldn't have to pay for the HazMat fee.
  
  
• Also, I bought 1LB of powder from I922sParCir's stockpile to get me started in reloading .357 magnum.
  
  
• Amazon will be delivering my Adventure First Aid 2.0 kit today.
  
  
• Amazon delivered yesterday 100ft of paracord and 2 sets of Rifle sling swivel sets for a couple of my rifles. I'm getting ready for an appleseed shoot that my son and I will be attending.
  

I have been working on this right now. I have been trying to work my way down to a box this size because it’s cute and I like it.
Metal First Aid Box, Red

I probably won’t be able to get it down that small so I’m aiming for this one instead (or painting a tackle box and trying to do it for cheaper).
Metal First Aid Box, White

Did you know Amazon will donate a portion of every purchase if you shop by going to smile.amazon.com instead? Over $50,000,000 has been raised for charity - all you need to do is change the URL!

Here are your smile-ified links:

I stay in the States (at least for now), and have this first-aid kit with me.

It's not perfect certainly, but I ride street and don't get far from civilization. I adore how compact these kits are.

Clove oil is a miracle. It can usually be found in a drug store under tooth remedies. Around here they sell these. That's basically a vial of clove oil and some cotton balls. And keep in mind, the price on that link is for 6 kits not one, so it's pretty cheap really.

Thanks for the list! Any recommendations on a first aid kit? Should I also buy one of these instead?

Ammonia Smelling salts! That’s what they use to wake up boxers after they pass out. I use them anytime I’m doing homework late at night and need a pick me up. Also, if you encounter anyone that is tripping or rolling too hard, the smelling salts snap them out of it!

Edit: You can buy a box of 10 off Amazon for really cheap, and if the box is sealed security lets you in with them!

You have 'hooks and fishing line' in food then 'needle and thread' in medical. Couldn't 'hook and line' do the same thing here? (It's a non-issue for me because I'd pass out if I tried to give myself stitches) So the one addition that I've added to every pack I have, the BoB, the car, the truck, hunting packs, etc. is Quickclot. That and duct tape will have to suffice for me in place of stitches.

Edit: This TraumaPack may be better. I use this one when I want to carry as little as possible.

I live in Ventura County and just had a few fires. I bought this from Home Depot.

I'm organizing important docs as stated in other comments. I'm thinking of keeping them in some type of locking briefcase, something I can easily grab and will not accessible by others. I'm also thinking of scanning though docs and keeping them on a usb drive or two.

The $27 one seems good to me.. But I know nothing about first-aid hahah

Pedes make it a goal to add a first aid kit to your car or EDC bag. One with trauma wraps, tourniquet, blood clotting agent, gloves, etc. the reality is, we don't know where this is headed and it never hurts to be prepared.
Blood cult agent
Israeli trauma wrap
Tourniquet
[Nitrile gloves](
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BC14L5Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1493701715&sr=8-3&keywords=nitrile+gloves+xl&dpPl=1&dpID=41XZuoTzS4L&ref=plSrch)It's a good idea to have a few things anyway for the car just in case too. Flashlight, water straw filter, iodine water tablets, small emergency blanket, road flare/air flare, hand warmers, knife, flint rod, etc. it will come in handy at some point.

This one on Amazon is pretty cheap. Although the state is recommending that folks stock up to support themselves for a full week in case of emergency. This kit is among the cheapest and only lasts for a few days.

I wouldn’t recommend buying a “prebuilt” IFAK. They can get very expensive when you can build your own for half the price.

  Don’t carry stuff if you don’t know how to use it. Especially using a chest seal. Can do more harm than good. Only stuff I would probably ever need would be a tourniquet, Israeli bandage and some gauze with quickclot. I’m a minimalist so I carry the bare minimum.
  
  Chances are you’ll use a regular first aid kit more than you would a GSW kit of an IFAK. Don’t wear trauma shears like some guards do, looks tacky an if you get into a physical fight it can be used against you.
  
  The only thing I physically carry on me is a tourniquet, the rest goes into an easily accessible patrol bag inside the trunk. I don’t have a lot of free room on my belt so I only carry what I need. Tourniquet goes into my cargo pocket.
  
  EDIT:
  
  I'm CPR and Firstaid trained, only reason I don't use any CPR mask because the chances of me using it will more than likely be on a transient or junkie. Eventhough barriers are relatively safe, I'd rather hold off. Chances are too risky for me to take on catching some sort of disease. EMS show up quicker than the police around here.

I think you need a custom handkerchief. Or two.
I'm obsessed with these things.

Maybe one of these to toss in a bag? http://www.amazon.com/Ever-Ready-First-Aid-Quickclot/dp/B00GAAMS2M/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1462907811&sr=8-1&keywords=IFAK

yes on the leatherman. i have this first aid kit, it was cheap and I doubt you'll be able to do better piecing that part out.

Couldn't hurt. Some band-aids, small tweezers, maybe even a small superglue and matches. Do they make a medical multi tool? I just keep a med kit in my car. Usually I am max a hundred yards away from the car.
It started as an Adventure Medical Kits Sportsman Series Grizzly First Aid Kit and then I added more trauma stuff like Israeli bandage, surgical stapler, blood clotting bandages/powder.

I use ammonia vials like these. They do give you a jolt and kinda piss you off. Useful when going for a PR. Dont use them very often tho.

https://www.amazon.com/V12090-Clotting-Granule-Applicator-Plunger/dp/B004NG8V1W

good alternative and far cheaper

This one is the one I plan on picking up Friday. It is waterproof which is a big plus and seems to have a good selection. I watched a review video on youtube where they listed everything. Once I get it I will be going over what I should add with my brother who is an EMT.

Just made a kit for backpacking. Went with individual items vs one kit. I bought this for smalls plus a few other items. Saved a lot over one of these premade kits.

I never go out without a med kit. This is a nice one. https://www.amazon.com/Adventure-Medical-Kits-Ultralight-Watertight/dp/B000G7WRBC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1480984349&sr=8-3&keywords=waterproof%2Bmedical%2Bkit&th=1

We've used them for that before actually. They smell sooo bad.

I highly recommend them for pranks. Does your buddy look a little too peaceful while napping? Just shove one of these near(or in if you're a bastard) his nose. He'll be quite awake.

I added one of these to my range bag, gives me a bit more comfort

Adventure Medical Kits Trauma Packwith QuikClot

This.

Start with a cheap one with a case, like

First Aid Only 299 Piece All-Purpose First Aid Kit, Soft Case https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000069EYA/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_i_Q24YCb3W0C91E

Yup. I carry the Adventure Medical Kit .5, supplemented with extra Ibruprofin and hand sanitizer, as well as a Quikclot sponge and an Israeli bandage. It is definitely overkill, but I consider myself to be accident/injury prone so worry about being medically stranded. That and the fact that I almost always hike in bear territory makes me want to be able to handle more substantial injuries in the unlikely event of an attack.

Laceration and blunt trauma care - mostly bandages and ice packs. An arm sling couldn't hurt. Just grab something like this and toss it in your sword bag or whathave you. Overkill, but you'll have what you need.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BS2PW4/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Add an Israeli bandage and a maybe one or 2 more things and I think that would be a good setup. I have one of those kits and it is actually packed well and takes up a small amount of space

EDIT: When I got that Trauma Pack it was $19.99

I would start with ammonia caps

I've been using these so far, nose tork was a bit too much at first and caps are more than enough for me, for now... Plus it's fun squeezing a cap and taking a whiff and chucking it on the floor. will grab some nose tork when that becomes not enough probably but I can't even take big whiffs of the caps.

This is what I buy for Dude. It's got quick clot, gauze, duct tape, gloves, antiseptic, and a bag for the waste or chest wound. It's $20. He's SAVED two lives with this and the tournequets I stock him with. Medical goes as fast as they can but in those two cases they would not have had enough time.

He also carries small bags of gummy bears, bottled water, and protein bars because the situation has warranted getting food and/or sugar into someone without overloading them.

I bought this kit for all my cars and both my wife and I are familiar with the contents. We are both equally trained to help and attempt to minimize blood loss. That's about as far as we want/need to go.

I took out most of the bandaids. (I can add as needed) and added:
Extra Trama pads
Mini Saline bottles
A few lancets a.k.a. Splinter outs
A few disposable thermometers
an extra instant cold pack
And some Wake ups - Ammonia inhalants

The extra items are things I know I have needed or have used at one point or another. Mainly items to use on the kids but can elp

This is the exact one I take with me everywhere. Only weighs 6oz. I throw it in my summit pack when doing multipitch, hardly even notice it's there...until I need it.

For your medical kit, let me suggest a two parter -Trauma and Mama.

If you're going to need to make your way somewhere during a disaster event (natural, terrorist attack, civil unrest, etc.) you might find yourself or a loved one fall victim to a serious trauma injury. This could be anything from a bullet wound to falling and slicing your leg on rubble. A good small trauma kit could be the difference between life and death (assuming that your final destination has healthcare services). Here is a good light weight kit. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003BS2PW4/ref=pd_aw_sbs_1?pi=SY115

But hey, you might get lucky and that doosey of a fall you took left you with minor cuts. This is where you needed a Mama. This kit should have some antibiotic ointment and small wound cleaning supplies. You will want a few band aids of varying size and types. You will also want a few 4"x4" gauze pads and tape to get the bigger bobos. You want a few NSAIDs in there. Ibuprofen works the best for swelling, Tylenol works best for fever. Along with this you want to have an ace wrap, because a sprained ankle could add a lot of time to your 72 hour trip.

I hope this is bit informative when you go out looking for an aid kit. Remember, think about where you are going, how far it is, and what are some shity things that could likely happen. I know it's only a 72 hour bag, but make sure you can reasonably cover your bases.

Just saying, to properly apply a tourniquet, you want to at least be ~two inches above the wound, which is hard if it's higher up since there'll be no room to apply a proper tourniquet.

Plus you want a wide tourniquet if possible, so he doesn't lose his legs.

Or you could have used QuikClot.

I carry the Adventure Medical Kit .7 in my back pack. Depending on your level of training, you may want to look at quick clot, a tourniquet, maybe extra bandages and trauma shears. It really depends on what you think you might need to use it for. This is a cool video, he goes into his first aid kit around the 8:50 mark

convenient first aid kit. It was recommended in some other thread. I may be looking into that because hog will mess you up.

Hemostatic compound for stopping severe bleeding. You'd probably never need it, but it might be a life saver.

I can't share the actual wishlist because it seems to reveal private information even if I try and remove the private information from the list.

I didn't get very far on it, just some random items I could find.

IFAK


Red Pliers

Yellow Pliers

Keybar

Grizzly

Hatchet

Trizip


I tried to be as accurate as I could be. If the item has exact information about it in game, I will try to find that exact item. Otherwise I choose whatever looks closest.

I have been looking at this one on Amazon. The only thing people didn't seem to like wasthe tourniquet. That can be swapped out.

I have seen this around for a few years now, and it blew up in 2017 when it got FDA approval, yet i have never seen one in real life, in a first responders kit, first aid kit, or anywhere else, usually i see These trauma packs in everyones gear.

do these suck or something? doctors or first responders want to explain why these just are not used?

Everyone needs to have their own ifak.

• this is for accidents or necessary medical attention for anyone (except if I shot someone)
  
  I also have a israeli bandage and a chest wound bandage set in my range bag.
  
  
• this is for me and those shooting with me. we shoot in random areas, not always at a range. it's un developed area with dumps and sharp items, so i come prepared if i can.
  
  ITS tactical has a EDC package for duty.
  
  https://store.itstactical.com/edc-slimline-pouch.html
  https://store.itstactical.com/its-edc-trauma-kit.html
  
  both would be needed for the belt adapters
  
  
• i've thought about this, but that would just add items to my EDC and print

Keep in mind that I'm speaking generally and I'm not covering all of the options. I don't have a medical background but I have taken a fucking shitload of classes over the years, easily in the 500+ hour range for survival, medical, first response, and trauma classes. I've also taught them many times but mostly at a lower level than what gunshots would be.

My IFAKs are for big bad things, I keep a small first aid pack for boo boos but normally those are rub dirt on it and duct tape it. My real IFAKs are for "oh god, this dude is going to die like right now" kind of wounds.

1. Never buy anything from eBay.
   
2. Never underpay for something. If 99 stores have it for $50 and you find it on sale for $5, it's fake. And fake medical equipment will literally get you killed. Suck it up, pay full price.
   
3. Name brands cost more. Name brands also care about their kit and it matters.
   
   That in mind - all of my IFAKs are homemade. I get supplies in semi-bulk and make 10+ IFAKs because I literally have them everywhere and I rotate out old/expired stuff as needed. I shit you not that I have 4 in my shooting supplies, 1 in my kitchen, 2 in the workshop, 2 in the car, etc. It's not cheap but nothing in life is. If you don't want to be that fanatical about it, getting a kit might be cheaper if you're making one or two.
   
   All of mine MUST have:
   
   

• Gloves
  
• Tape
  
• Pressure bandage
  
• Clotting agent, normally sponges
  
• Gauze
  
• EMT shears
  
• Tourniquet
  
  Other stuff like for burns, heatstroke, hypothermia, etc I have in some of my bags but not most of them.
  
  Cover the basics:
  
  
• Adventure Medical Kit
  
• CAT Tourniquet from NAR
  
• Israeli Bandage
  
• Madison EMT Shear
  
• Condor Rip-Away EMT Bag
  
  
  There is some arguments that can be made about this setup that I won't get into, these are what I like and trust though. I also normally add some extra gloves, tape, gauze, and QuickClot to each bag.
  
  The Adventure Medical Kit is cheap and has the core stuff. Nice easy package too, quick to buy a few of them and stash them places if I don't have time to make real bags right then.
  
  Israeli Bandage is the gold standard for a compression bandage. Watch some YT on how to use one, maybe get to so that you can kill one right off the bat to learn how to use it. Remember - once a bandage is opened, it's use it or lose it. Don't need infections because you used a 5 year old bandage that was stored wrong.
  
  Madison shears are solid.
  
  I like CAT style tourniquets and I trust North American Rescue since they're one of the huge massive names in the market. All of mine are NAR CAT tourniquets.
  
  Condor gets a bad name because of Airsoft kids that wear their stuff all the time, but this bag is really nice. It's fairly cheap, for an IFAK bag, it holds a lot, it's sturdy, and the rip away is really nice. I keep these on the outside of my range bag mostly. The rip away is nice since I can just grab the handle and pull.
  
  Final note - remember that an IFAK isn't just for you to use. It's also for other people to use on you. Make sure they're marked as an IFAK. Mine are all either bright red with a medical cross on it or at least have a big red medical cross on it in a place that everyone can see.

It’s pretty sweet! Obviously I’m playing airsoft, so it’ll likely never get used but who knows.

I opted to buy the empty kit and fill it myself. I read that this can be a bad idea because they really shove shit in there right with their kits. But it worked out. I ended up getting this trauma kit on Amazon and it fits perfect in there. You just have to really shove everything in there and pack it full for it to stay put on your belt.

You probably won't find much stuff that serious from US residents. To even imply directions or attempt to treat someone in the US puts you a legal liability risk in the event some shit happens. If it's anything that they can't treat themselves, it's a job for professional EMTs.

I carry a generic first aid kit in my Jeep for roadside, camping/hiking stuff, focused on more realistic encounters. I don't carry FA while playing airsoft but the kit is in the Jeep if I or someone needs it.

It's all basic stuff that requires little to no training to use..I'll try to list some out from memory. Remember, it's mostly focused for hiking/camping in southeast USA.

• Several yards of bandage wrap, 2 sizes on rolls
  
• Trauma shears
  
• Nitrile gloves
  
• A few plastic tweezers
  
• Bag of assorted Band Aids
  
• Mole skin
  
• Single use hydrocortisone packets
  
• Single use bee/wasp sting swabs
  
• Eye flush kit
  
• A few compress/square bandages in different sizes
  
• Medical duct tape
  
• BZK wipes
  
• Ibuprofen pills
  
• Imodium pills
  
• Antihistamine pills
  
• Watergel single use burn gel packs
  
• Ivy-X Poison Ivy/Poison Oak wipes
  
• A few 4x6" ziplock bags for disposal
  
• Sharpie
  
  
  There might be a few more things, it all fits within one of those EMT MOLLE pouches. No tourniquet or surgical kit. That stuff is a liability nightmare and likely to do more harm than good.
