[@wilcoxtactical3716]

I've always been a firm believer in keeping the trauma kit completely trauma only. The boo boo kit just clutters the kit and makes it harder to find gear in an emergency. When I was in the military and now when I go in the woods I keep a little Aloksak filled with pain meds, bandaids, antibacterial ointment, tweezers and tik remover but I don't keep it in my trauma kit.

[@DonHavjuan]

antibacterial ointment, doesn't work. It's placebo.

[@wilcoxtactical3716]

@@DonHavjuan no it works to keep bacteria from growing and helps wounds heal faster. I've used it for years and have seen its effectiveness. If you don't want to use it that's fine but it does work as intended. One study from Pubmed: "Contaminated blister wounds treated with the triple antibiotic ointment healed significantly faster (mean nine days) than wounds treated with any antiseptic and those receiving no treatment."

Solid video… This may just be me, but I hate the dismissal of disposable shears. I work for a metro area agency, and I keep many pairs of shears on the shelf with the expectation that they’re one time use. The Raptors seem like a good idea, but shears always get jettisoned right after they’re used. I have a medic on my crew who loves his raptors, but I feel like we go on a field trip at least once a month to find the shears that he left in the back of an ambulance that isn’t housed at our fire station. Or, I pick them up off the road at the end of a call because he used them, then set them down because his hands were full with other tasks. I’d rather soil a cheap pair of shears and toss them than dirty a nice pair, then put them back in my pocket. Some people’s essence can’t be scrubbed away… ever. And I don’t want that essence in my pocket.

[@chryder2443]

I agree. I like to keep a good pair of shears on me but I keep disposable shears on my kits mostly to give to someone else and say “cut those clothes off” when I have little to no expectations of getting the shears back.

[@Noahlochner0]

An old swat medic on my team has a retractable lanyard on his raptors. I started doing that too!

[@Sorchia56]

Nice and compact. I carry trauma pads in mine. Hiking or vehicle kits don’t forget the Benadryl, cortaid, glucose tabs, smelling ammonia and saline to wash out minor scratches & wounds.

[@isaacschmitt4803]

I always keep the instructions with my tourniquets because I dont want to assume that I'm the one who will be using them. If I become a casualty, or if someone who can access my various kits needs to use it but for some reason doesn't already know how to work it, the instructions are there for them. This goes double for the several FAKs I've upgraded at my school, where there are decent odds that I won't be the one applying it if things really go sideways and one is needed, and I want whoever needs it to be able to use it when they need it. I've trained the rest of the staff on how to use them, but in a stressful situation where it will for sure be needed, I'm not relying on their memory.

[@jacobstauffer705]

Quick solution for y’all. It is the best to keep your med kit in a moderate climate. During the winter it would probably end a good idea to keep your med kits in a warm area like Your house and take it to your vehicle or wherever when it is above freezing temperatures. Or if it is hot out keep your med kits shaded and out of the light

[@MuffinMammoth]

What about while I'm at work? I'm in the process of putting together a kit (and getting the relevant training, which is a pain in Ohio) but I work 10 hour shifts and would have to leave my bag in my car for the shift. You think there'd be any problems?

[@DoinkyTungo]

I simply remove liquid ibuprofen tablets and eye wash the rest is tourniquet's packing gauze pressure pads fine in the cold additionally I keep my kit in a satchel in a one handed quick deploy format that stays close to my body

[@Sarrienne]

I tried a couple of pouches with a very similar layout/form-factor to this Vanquest one, but found they were too small for anything more than a very basic trauma kit. About enough to treat a single GSW, perhaps... This Vanquest one looks a lot better and could probably fit enough kit to make a complete FAK for most common situations.

[@jay-by1se]

we used that swat tourniquet to incredible effect. with a severe arm injury, where we wanted to limit blood, but not completely cut it off. in conjunction with a compression bandage you were able to dramatically reduce blood flow without totally cutting it off.

[@matthewsalomone3800]

The patch is what drew my attention to the video. It made it look unique and not like any of the other hundred million tactical bandaid holders out there. I primarily use dirt as a clotting agent and duct tape for bandages :)

[@5thkiechannel]

Same, I just wrap as much duct tape as I can over an old gift card. I do however carry gauze because it’s more sterile and dirt isn’t always available

[@user-gn5uy6lx7z]

I have two Trama Kits that are identical. Each of my Kits contains: X2 Isreal Bandages X2 Ratcheting Tourniquet X2 Bleedstop X2 Chest Seal X2 Venelated Chest Seal X2 Roll Gauze for wound packing X2 Mylar Blankets for shock X1 Penlight X1 Headlamp X2 Tylenol X2 Asprin X2 Ibuprofen X1 Medical Sizzers X1 Tweezers ( large) X1 Mirror X1 Medical Tape X1 Emergency Whistle X1 Magnifying Glass X1 Knife X2 Sterile Surgical Gloves All this fits snugly in a mollie pack, and it being a mollie system it can be attached to most anything. I have always believed that in a critical emergency situation, having more is better than not having enough. This system that I put together is my go-to for severe trauma

[@fernando2980]

just remember, aspirin prevents coagulation, so not so good in a trauma kit. Good for heart attack, but not for someone already bleeding

[@jonchase7752]

[@dorcasowens1210]

I highly recommend placing the tourniquet in a plastic zip top bag. It makes it much easier to pull it from the side location. Also keeping gloves in a zip bag keeps them clean and they don't degrade as fast..... 30 yrs experience FA/CPR instructor!

[@unityxg]

Vanquest is hands down is the best bag/pouch I have found for medical stuff. Awesome bags and pouches.

[@UnderPresser]

I guess what I really need to know about these kits is: Can you keep them in your car where, during the summer, they're going to be exposed to 90-plus degrees farenheit? Because let's face it, you're not going to be wearing this around as part of your everyday belt carry when you're going to-let aline actually walking around in-the hardware or grocery store. And it won't do you a lot of good if you only keep it in the temperature-controlled environment of your house. So most of the time, it'll be in your car. Is that going to cause things like the adhesive in the bandages and the effectiveness of any "quick-clot" bandages or powedered solutions to degrade or become useless?

[@twocansams6335]

I keep two bags in my car, one i used to keep in my backpack when i worked security, other is a general purpose one from st johns ambulance, i mean compression bandages, tape, cpr face shield etc.. don't expire but your right stuff like chest seal does, i should actually replace mine... Don't be too hasty to use quick clot, that shit burns to seal a wound so if you have a damaged artery and you seal the wound the limb its attached to will die in about 15 min for not getting any oxygenated blood. A tourniquet is better in a sense that you can tighten it to the point where blood will still ooze through at that point is when you apply pressure to try and create a natural clot. At least that is what they taught us in paramedic school where i live, never finished the course though so take it as you will.

[@2mitts]

It's a great question that I'm disappointed has not been answered more thoroughly. Acting such a good question this should probably be an entire video about it.

[@grantfosdick3852]

if ya wanna learn more medical stuff, Id highly recomend taking like an EMT course. Its gonna provide you with a lot of knowlege for an emergency situation. The main downside of being an EMT is theres a lot more rules and stipulations in which you can do things. Personally I am a Medic in the Army, and have a lot more freedom to treat wounds, although Im only certified as an EMT-Basic in the civillian side of things. But really, YT is a decent place to gain knowledge, but an actual course with hands on treatments is going to be the best place to really learn how to do it. Specifically like packing wounds, in training a lot of people just pack pack pack, but its important you find out where the artery is so you can pack directly on top of it and not just pack the wound. Vidoes can give ya the knowledge, trainging really instills it into you, and hands on a real casualty is the best possible way to learn. Also to understand medical stuff better, Id highly recommend thinking of the body as a machine. It may be able to work without a few parts for a while, but what you wanna do is keep the main parts (organs) having fuel and energy (blood and O2) so that way they can keep working. I am more speaking in a trauma sense, but with sickness and diseases it still plays a role.

Those chest seals are nice when I was in the Army we would trim our mre bags and stick them in our ifak

[@dscrive]

that much cold might be an issue, but the heat definitely isn't, I've measured the cabin temperatures in my ambulance at over 100F with the AC having been running 20 minutes on full blast. I live and work in Mississippi so we get some pretty darn extreme heat and if it were an issue the company would probably fix the ACs in all the trucks instead of none of the trucks.

[@NavyPistoleer]

This is a very minimalistic trauma kit. I can seeing it working more like a kit that each individual would carry to use on themself, kinda like an IFAC. I can only speak from a military standpoint but you need a way wider variety of gear to maintain care across more than one patient, or even if one patient has multiple types of trauma.

[@hunterbruce8525]

Any news when the patches are coming out?

[@charlesstevenson5141]

I'm trying to see where that particular kit is worth $150. The bag is the most expensive part but if one were to look around for deals, a individual could easily build that kit for near half the cost. For $150 you would think it would have a little more in it than that.

[@NiSE_Rafter]

I added started adding up the cost and it's a decent price. Keep in mind that it has legit NAR stuff so you're paying a premium for it. Bag: $45 CAT: $30 SWAT-T: $20 Hemostatic Gauze: $20 Shears: $10 Compact Hyfin: $15 Gloves, Tape, Sharpie, Gauze, NPA, Blanket: $15 Total: ~$155 Unfortunately it's rare to see the higher priced items go on sale. Building it all yourself I guess you could get lucky on a bag sale and some package deals but you'd save maybe $15-$25 at most. Swap over to off brand stuff and maybe an additional $30 can be saved but is it worth it using less proven equipment? Maybe. Depends on the person.

Practice putting it on yourself and I think its a much more versatile option for the civilian/ outdoorsmen/ security / LEO/ military.

Do you think a good addition to any kit would be a headlamp or a small torch you can attach to a cap, you need to see what you are doing.

OK, this will sound a little funny at first to some, but here we go. I am a Rideshare drive in the DMV, and I pick up many drunks and some well, a lot of them pass out in the back seat, and it is hard for me to get them up and move. I have been thinking about smelling salts to wake them up just to get them out of my car/ Suburban when this happens. From your view, what would be the best-smelling salts, or what would you use to wake someone up that is passed out drunk that is not responsive? PS great videos, by the way. Looking at one of your videos helped me get the Mymedic MyFAC small and large bundle. In DC, there are always shootings and fights around the clubs and car jacking. Better to have a little of everything in the trunk just in case.

[@BrockGrimes]

I put my stuff in a backpack/bag. Take it toss in the car and take it in when i come in. But I would recommend throwing gauze and other not perishables in a permanent kit to stay in the vehicle for when shit hits the fan, you always have it.

For reference i have little medical training and only keep these on me for hiking and other fun adventures

[@bokeshow]

You stated that using one CAT TQ is not effective/fails in 20% of cases. Do you have a link to the research that supports that claim?

[@opinionsvary]

In my opinion: The newer accepted way of using a tourniquet allows for use below the joint in order to preserve as much of the limb as possible. So when strapping down an area with two bones an extra tourniquet may be needed. The CAT should be pretty reliable otherwise.

I dunno, I am not a medic so don't take anything I say as advice, but for myself coping with various injuries, the most useful item I have found is gaffer tape. I had a really nasty wound a while back, nearly cut a finger off and needed an emergency operation to rescue the tendon. It is not easy to apply first aid when you only have one good hand, so I wrapped my hand in toweling and bound it on with gaffer tape, which was good enough till I got it properly dressed at accident and emergency.

If you are applying a bandaid or steri-strips to a minor cut do you use skin-tac or something similar to improve adhesion?

Is there a video that explains your wall set up

[@johnfiery3786]

The video says civilian medical trauma kit. On the website is it the FAT Pack 5x8 large kit? Want to buy the right one.

Non-Trauma treatment related…. What brand hoodie is that?

"If you don't know how to work this, you probably shouldn't be carrying it." Spot on bro 😂😂

[@mihhailgotovtsev2555]

Is there a reason there is no burn treatment in the kit? I have seen a ton of similar reviews for some reason USA created ones do not consider burn as a trauma and at never put anything to treat it in to the kit.

Mainly because skin burns are not a life threat in the way massive bleeding and airway compromise are. Topical solutions are generally bad for large/severe burns.

Great video sam great basic kit. I wish ireland would cop on to the use of tourniquets and NPA. The research is there for the benefits and improved pt outcomes.

[@monarchco]

What? There's somewhere in the world that doesn't believe in tourniquets? The fuck?

[@DJRockford83]

Tourniquets aren't generally used where there isn't imminent threat to life as a tourniquet results in higher chance of limb loss. Some blood supply to the limb should be maintained if possible.

[@PrepMedic]

No. That statement is full of misnomers and wives tales.
