[QUOTE="Sheeve, post: 2860874, member: 789"] I think the kit that the OP has in mind needs to be defined a little better. Is he wanted a "Boo Boo kit" or a "Blow out Kit/IFAK". In the opinion of many far more experienced than me band aids and Neosporin have no place in the same kit as pressure dressings, tourniquets and clotting agents. If you have seconds to act to gain access to life saving materials you don't want to be tripping over trivial items to treat minor wounds. Both kits have a place, just not in the same place. You have a good lead on some "Boo Boo kit" materials with what you mentioned earlier. A solid "Blow out Kit"should at least contain the following. As with all kit, there are many options on some of these, some suck for certain applications, others shine in some situations, some suck and don't work well at all in the real world, and unfortunately for most of us, cost plays a roll as well, as you learn more you will build more kits to keep in each car, in your range bag, in your chest rig, in your chainsaw case etc. Tourniquet - CAT, RATS, SOFT-T, SWAT, TK4, Pressure Dressing - Israeli, OLAES, H Compression bandage, sock and duct tape, 14 guage x 2.5" Needle Nasal Airway KY Jelly- for the airway you perverts Shears, at least gauze, at most the gauze impregnated with a clotting agent -Quikclot or Celox Duct tape The above items are the making of a pretty solid kit, as always the devil is in the details and the onus is on you to study yourself approved on the application of these tools on yourself and those you love. The best kit is of limited use when you don't have the skills to use them as someone mentioned above. [/QUOTE]
