How To SURVIVE Before, During, And After The Fight: Proving Ground 13 Video 2

[@USCCAOfficial]

QUESTION: Do you keep a trauma kit with you? Where?

[@junespiritu3234]

I have my IFAK/Trauma kit in my car and aside from the tourniquet in my kit I have another tourniquet with me. I am also trained for Prehospital Trauma Life Support.

On my ankle

[@clydeweik7901]

I have a large trauma kit (no band aids) for serious wounds. Gauze, combat dressings, CAT tourniquets (multiple), that sort of thing. I also have Tactical First Aid training (based on the combat lifesaver training in the military). I keep it in my primary vehicle, so I have it at the range, when I venture into the hills, or out camping. It also goes on the river for rafting trips.

[@USCCAOfficial]

That is great, Jun! You sound very prepared!

[@USCCAOfficial]

Do you carry it everywhere you go, Lincoln?

[@ChristianPrepperGal]

I really, really appreciate this Proving Ground training series! We do have a trauma kit as our firing range is outdoors and in a remote location and we take that with us when we go there. We also plan to start up camping again, which we haven't done in years, lol. So this video was an excellent eye opener and great training. Thank you to all who were involved in putting together this training series!

[@USCCAOfficial]

It sounds like this was the perfect time for us to do this series for you, Christina Prepper Gal! I am glad you enjoyed it and are benefitting from this training!

[@lowellirish]

Oh.. goody! Markers! We can write postcards to my cousin Bob in Toronto! 😅

[@cdlady54_95]

Excellent training. Yes, I have a trauma kit in my range bag car and backpack. Our gun ckub also did training on trauma kit essentials along with hands on training how to use each item in the kit.

[@USCCAOfficial]

That is awesome that you have that training!

[@byhark1]

Excellent training video...Much appreciated! Keep them coming when you Can! I am a USCCA member...

[@whollyfree]

great vid team!

[@quintanaquintana2212]

Very edifying thanks

[@longgone9869]

I find it hard to believe two people go through life so unprepared.

[@chesterhavens8988]

I liked the end of the show it was right on point

[@fermantravers5478]

USCCA please recommend a emergency trauma pack with the tourniquet that you demonstrated in this training episode. Thank You USCCA, FT

[@TheSuburban15]

I though, "Marker!? Whaddya need a marker in a 1st Aid kit for?" It's for marking the time on the TQ. Maybe I need that. Usually have a sharpie with me, but not in my 1st Aid kits.

[@USCCAOfficial]

There are definitely a few purposes for a marker, _Surburban_. You can use that marker to mark the time you apply that Tourniquet to keep not of blood loss. It is also good to have to mark the swelling if you get bit by something venomous.

[@59BigWalt]

Go video Kevin, very informative. I which this was available to me when I went through a similar event. From here on out, could "The Proving Ground" have its own playlist on the channel?

[@USCCAOfficial]

Walt, I have created that for you. Check it out: kzbin.info/aero/PL8BXy_a3iBjg959mJ6TNuPtGGDKwSflW6

[@USCCAOfficial]

I'm glad you enjoyed this video, 59BigWalt! All the previous Proving Ground videos are a member benefit and are accessible on their Dashboard.

What would have been the best situation he should have grabbed both guns the first time he went in should he have pointed both weapons at the threat or give her one of the weapons and they both point at the threat ?

[@RUDEMASTER]

I'm a person with disabilities I have a bad back n a bed hip I mean I could still walk around but I can't move around fast.. do u have any kind of training for that? or is that in the making for the future?

[@USCCAOfficial]

Unfortunately, we don't have a Proving Ground Series on this topic yet, Rudy. However, I will gladly pass along your suggestion to see if we can make this possible for one of our videos in the future!

[@RUDEMASTER]

@@USCCAOfficial Thanks I appreciate that because I have not found anything on the Internet for this subject on people with disabilities as I cannot move fast like a lot of these videos show you have to move this way and that way

[@USCCAOfficial]

You're very welcome, Rudy. I know it is definitely a harder subject to find information on. I hope we can incorporate this in one of our future videos!

[@HorsemanX72]

I carry a trauma kit but if I didn't have it.... and all that was available is a bungee cord... strap it on, loosing a limb is better then loosing my life.

[@longgone9869]

Tourniquets are $30, why would you suggest they use anything else. Leather belts break, that just allows more time for someone to bleed out. Carry a damn tourniquet!

[@longgone9869]

If you are in the camper, why would you even allow him to follow you in? That would be my red line

[@gringling57]

I enjoyed the videos. However, there are some errors in the medical advice. A belt makes a poor tourniquet. He suggested that a bungee cord or electric cord would not be helpful, this is false, smaller diameter does compress artery. The key regardless, is the use of a windlass. And lastly "You will do more damage than good" False as well. There has never (or rarely) been an amputation from tourniquet time. Even if this does occur, would you rather be alive with a leg missing or arm, or be dead and keep all 4 extremities. Pro tip: take a "Stop the Bleed" course.

[@EBB47]

looks like he could use a cup of coffee!

[@jacobjohnson3634]

he REALLY said a BELT for a TQ smh
