I'm trying to remember my C.P.R.?
I think it stands for ''Check Pockets Right away''?

Last night I had dropped my son's buddy off at his house and on my way back home when I came across I bicyclist who was getting up from a nasty spill. He had been riding on the paved trail near my house and when he went to cross the gravel road apparently he got into some of the deeper gravel and went down pretty hard. His left shoulder took the brunt of the hit along with some pretty good road rash on the back side of his arm. He was a little stunned and I asked where his car was. Turns out he was about 7 miles away so I insisted that I take him to his vehicle. I was in the farm truck and so I wasn't too worried about the blood which did end up on the seat but I felt a little unprepared as I didn't have anything to help clean up or patch the damage.
I may make one up as most of the ones I view online seem to be about how many pieces of cheap stuff they can claim are in the kit.
I'm looking for ideas from this smart group… and go!
I would just get a basic 1st aid kit. If you get the more complicated items your libel to do more harm then good unless you know what you are doing.
I completely disagree unless you're just an idiot who doesn't know his/her limitations. There are lots of doctors and nurses around and you never know who is going to be at a scene. Be as well prepared as you can.
I like the Marine style of "ammo Case" for a first aide kit. Plenty of storage and water proof! I keep two of them in my truck and they work really well!

I called it Marine cause I used to always see them in flame orange, never Green! They were labeled as marine grade, so...........Hey Junior, what's wrong with the "Army style" of ammo case.... Hmmmmm?!
Well I will say I was bombing down this hill years ago on my mountain bike just after dark in spring. I tried to jump a curb and hit the side of the sidewalk it cranked my wheel and i flew over my handbars into a cinder block wall then rolled a couple times. I came down right on my right arm on the top edge of the wall. Thought a broke my arm. No helmet like an idiot, but luckily didn't hit my head. I just laid there for a few mins trying to self analyze if I was injured or not. My arm was hurting real bad and kinda numb. Cars going by, not one stopped to even share a "nice one jack arse!" Or anything.
I rode home with one arm. Had a nice scrap/cut on my arm, luckily Where my arm hit the corner of the wall was where I had my small stick ipod. My cut was the outline of it.
Maybe it saved me from breaking my arm, who knows.
That my off topic story.
Any who, I wanted to put together a kit and even the kits I saw that were $100+ didn't have half the stuff I wanted.
So made an order on amazon was about $200.
But gave me a solid kit with extras.
From the last few years going hunting I knew a tourniquet was a must have for a hunting pack.
Too many idiots out there. A LOT drinking before going out or stopping at the bar for a mid day break.
I need to get a few more bigger items to get a car kit together.
Yes anything will work as a tourniquet but getting a real kit would be much better.
If you throw a belt over it or paracord chances of it coming loose are pretty good.
If your out hunting then you may need to leave the person and get cell service or get help.
That golden hour goes real quick if your in the boonies.
