re: Med Kits

Here are my two cents that aren't worth much, but figured I'd try to contribute. A legit tourniquet (not a knock-off brand from Amazon) should be in every med kit that is around guns. I'm not a trauma doctor, but I do teach Stop the Bleed classes several times a year. You don't want to rely on a belt or tampon to stop an arterial bleed to an extremity. I keep a kit in my range bag and in my truck at all times. I'll bring my truck kit in my hunting bag while hunting. Main components for penetrating injuries are tourniquet, QuikClot dressings, chest seals and various pressure wraps and gauze. It also has ancillaries like a snake bite kit, medications, splint, survival blanket, firestarter, etc.
