In my 30+ years of outdoor/shooting experience I've seen a lot of discussion about types of firearms, ammunition, bug out location, ect but often medical care is skimmed over.
I'd like to start the discussion about "what do you carry medically?" specifically for when you train/go to the range.
In my truck is a full medical kit but I carry a smaller pouch when I head off into the wilderness or go shooting.
Below is a list of what I carry. I'd love to hear thoughts and critiques as nothing is ever 100%.
Med Kit:
1 - 6" Hemorrhage Control Bandage
1 - Triangular Bandage 40" x 40" x 56" w/ safety pins
1 - Field Dressing 4" x 7"
1- Roll 5 yards Waterproof Adhesive Tape
3 - Sterile Non-adhesive 4" x 3" pads
1 - Pair of Latex Gloves
6 - Acetaminophen, Chlorpheniramine, Phenylephrine Tablets
4 - Alcohol Prep Pads
1- Monofilament non-absorbable suture kit
1- Hand Sanitizer
1 - Large Tweezers
1 - 5" Surgical Forceps
1 - 5" Surgical snips/scissors
1 - Trauma Shears
1 - Tourniquet
If you think I forgot anything or overpacked please let me know!
I would also like to clarify this post that medical equipment without training/knowledge isn't ideal. I do have some medical experience in the Marine Corps and Combat Lifesaver training but it can always be refreshed and updated. When you decide to put your own kit together please seek out training opportunities in your area.
Safe shooting.
