Best bet is to build your own and it's way cheaper. But if you don't want to build. Look up ar500 first ad kit

^^ What he said
It would be better that you take some form of tactical aid course first, then build you own. It's a lot of cheaper that way. but if you need links, here are some sites with good supplies: http://www.rescue-essentials.com/medical-kits-1/ http://www.chinookmed.com/cgi-bin/category/medical_kits You can find some courses here: LEFR-TCC http://www.naemt.org/education/Cours...gram_Type=LEFR TCCC: http://www.naemt.org/education/Cours...gram_Type=TCCC TECC: http://www.naemt.org/education/Cours...gram_Type=TECC Gray Ops: http://www.gofast1.com/tacticalfirstaid.php Stoic Venture: http://www.stoicventures.com/training/h-e-l-p-h-a-r-m/ Norcal Medic: http://www.norcalmedtac.com/event/de...ts-valley-ca-3 Alias: http://aliastraining.com/kyleraisbec...angelesca.aspx Last edited by Lugiahua; 04-03-2016 at 10:57 PM.. |

Building your own makes more sense. Pack what you're trained with and know how to use.
Not saying all pre-prep kits are bad, but they do up charge and add things in the kits you don't need. |

Look into Wilderness First Aid and Wilderness First Responder courses. With this recognized training, you are considered trained for situations where you are more than an hour from definitive care and can perform certain procedures you would otherwise not be allowed to do.
While this is a survivalist thread generally geared towards a world without law situation, having this training can help in the near term real world today. The tactical first aid can take it from there though be careful where to draw the line between now and some future possibility or you can open your self up to civil liability and prosecution for breaking the law. In the Army I was taught how to give IVs and gave lots and lots. I stick someone now even with all that experience and I could go to jail even if it was the reason why someone lived versus died. Knowing is half the battle! As for a kit...you really should build your own that is based on your level of training. Once you go to training and understand the liability aspects you start to understand why everyone is saying that. That and most of the kits on the market lack things that you will want or cost more than the components justify. When I went to my Wilderness First Aid course, I tool pics of the instructors field kit to get ideas. He is also an Active Paramedic.

As said above, if you want to take a step up and get comprehensive training, WFR is probably the best option. There are a few major outfits offering them in US, all of them follow guidelines published by Wilderness Medical Society of Uni of Utah.
NOLS: http://www.nols.edu/wmi/courses/wfr.shtml WMA: https://www.wildmed.com/wilderness-m...rst-responder/ SOLOS: http://soloschools.com/sponsored-wil...responder-wfr/ RMI: http://www.remotemedical.com/RMI-Tra...-Responder-WFR Note that both NOLS and WMA offers option for EMR bridging course for those who want double certification. Personally, I recommend people who took WFR also take a trauma class after for more advanced trauma management skills. Such as PHTLS, ITLS, TCCC or TECC. |
