I have a fuck ton of kerlix and TQs
Yeah. Especially since it's a shooting range. Big yikes.
Get some combat guaze
Have that also
Kerlix is dope though
Should we have a #medical kit channel?
Chitosan is handy to have if you or a loved one doesn't clot right.
Super cheap and versatile
yeah
I’m on it
just post all the good shit people should buy for a med kit
it's important and I feel we keep doing this, haha
I'm a big fan of Dark Angel Medical's kits.
I made a basic list of IFAC items and training videos even though hands on is the best
I have some chitosan gauze, was under the impression it was basically quikclot
Basically
But where Quikclot amplifies the body's own clotting ability, chitosan acts as it's own clotting substance
I use some fancy stuff now a days
Called X-stat
Yes it is
I love it
Clotting injectors have been around for a minute haven’t they
Or am I tripping or is it substantially different?
Xstat unlike others provides immediate clotting
Ooo
It also create outward pressure unlike things like combat guaze where you put downward pressure into a wound
I haven’t army’ed in a decade so I’m out of date on new ifak stuffs
It’s not in an ifak normally
I should say Ned stuff In General
Med
Ah
I was a dumb ol blue corder tho
Understandable
That’s why I’m always having to teach CLS
Hahaha
Legend has it 3 days ago they made me give the new fuzzy blue corder an IV in his forehead
Lmao
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
