Thread: What's in your first aid kit?

Some of you guys carry a lot of gear, my advice get trained to use your gear.
As a first responder I carry fuck all first aid gear but I take a kit everywhere and no how to use it.
As hunter its really only the cold thats going to kill us or bleeding we can't stop, that could be from a sun hardened Manuka through the leg or a knife slip, most of the gear mentioned above really isn't going to stop that.
I'd recommend something with Celox in it, these kits here a bloody good, throw some pandol in if that's your thing, and you good go.

Yep.

Lets face it, a hit from a modern sporting round from any of the usual hunting suspects - and you are not going to have any success buying lotto tickets if you survive because you've used up all of your luck and then some. These rounds are designed to effectively drop some pretty tough animals, and by comparison humans aren't pretty tough as we only carry our weight on two legs. It's a design limitation... Any hunting or sporting bullet expanding is going to do far more internal damage than you can carry gear for and even with celox cavity sealing products you won't have fluids and gear to use it to replace what's lost. Best option in my book is some form of tourniquet that you know how to use (the Ukrainians are reporting some intriguing stats and some of their people have apparently gone away from the CAT-style that we have adopted - not sure why and don't have any more details on it). That will minimise blood loss through a severe limb wound, anything else like a torso/center mass impact and you aren't having a good day. Just too far from help.

That sort of dictates the sizing for your first aid kit and what you need to be thinking about putting in in terms of injuries, and a stab from a Manuka - leave it in the hole if you can as it's already plugging it!
