Post on boogaloo bois

@wickedempire1 made a post inviting people

Advice from my 8404 days on building a real, actionable militia med kit: roller gauze, saran wrap, needle thoracentesis devices, petroleum jelly, aspirin for the boomers and most importantly a plan on getting them to a hospital ASAP. This isnt Afghanistan there is a hospital in every city.

And of course as many tourniquets as you can carry. How could i forget

Anyone over 40 in America is full of cheeseburgers and will be a heart attack risk the second bullets fly

Yep, but alot of dudes will be going down with the #1 killer of active duty firefighters

Cheeeesburgers

Honestly the biggest thing i see fucking up people in a INCONUS fight will be face shrapnel. Everyone is running ar500 plates and i never see a boog kit with eyepro. Il check it out

Double post that wound packing video. Fuckin sticky it. Stick the goddamn gauze into that wound until you literally cant anymore. Then wrap it in more roller gauze, Then saran wrap it *loosely. I cant tell you how many people i trained as a tccc instructor that was like "i put one fingers worth of gauze in its good right?"

I bet you put in about 2 feet of gauze in that abscess

Yea its not fun and that was relatively small and took a ton 5.56 tumbles and is basically a huge asshole to medics

It does literally 2-3 rolls sometimes 7.62 has massive hydroshock but 5.56 tumbles and travels wierd

Bring em lol. Feed the poors

I was in during the switch from granular quikclot now that shit would ruin your life while saving it.

Gotta surgically remove every grain like getting shwacked wasnt insult enough.

I find them in militia ifaks often so check em

Lmao too true

I worked with a corpman whos marines went into his medbag and found pringles and caprisun. True story

I cant praise saran wrap enough either. Theres no rules to this shit and keeping debris out is a must

Yea and it stretches and self sticks so you can do loose wrap and call it good for evac

Take the full roll and cut it in half with a knife put one half in your med kit and the other in the ifak if you have room

Its also really important that your teams medic or the RN/EMT knows stuff about you. A patch with blood type and allergies or just sharpie it on the ifak. It also helps to have a copy of health insurance paperwork in your admin pouch

Actually let me correct myself, put it in a bag and shove it in a pants pocket. The cops will remove your vest and pack before admission to the hospital if it ever even makes it there. And thats great bro.

Im more preaching to the others who arent as medically educated as you are.
