(Ambulance)

@O/K/ie Voluntaryist you're talking to an emt

Good stuff

>advanced emt

Yeah

Pursue that

Speaking of medical. Where can I get decomp pens @mcguyver123?

@MetalViking hold on

Need it for my ifak

I've got like 20 Israeli bandages, quick clot, retarded levels of gauze and tape, shears, 3 tourniquet

My ifak is FAT

@MetalViking yeah, we can go over that too

These are sold as piercing needles but are just IV needles.

They arent long enough to needle decomp but they're all I've been able to find for the time being

As for IFAK. I say keep it basic. You or the guy working on you doesnt need to dig for contents.

One more question. Can I use destilled water and salt to make an IV?

Also have it Rip away and lanyard to your kit

@MetalViking fuck no

My Ifak is pretty well organized. Gauze and tape one side, quick clot, tape on the other, tools in between

Tools?

Tourniquets and shears are on outside

Multitool, tweezers extra shears

Wanna gib me a good ifak list? That'd be dope.

Are they loosely tucked on the outside or kept on with something

Fuck

Ok

Both of yall wait

Primary on the outside

Comparison

Not a fan of RATs but I feel that their more effective than CATs

List:
IFAK pouch, rip away
or
IFAK pouch with contents in bag

Have either lanyard to source of the kit

2 CAT or similar windless tourniquets
1 israeli or similar pressure bandage with affixed trauma sponge
1 roller or z fold gauze. Celox gauze preferably
1 2" cloth athletic medical tape
1 nasal airway
2 chest seals or 2 piece of cut MRE wrapper with tape nearby
1 decompression needle if available
1 EMT shear, disposable

If anything is on the outside of your kit, it needs to be held on with something. Shears especially. Use a rubber band if you have to.

@O/K/ie Voluntaryist

@MetalViking I like cats, up to you on what you'll save your own butt with

Keep your bandaids and motrin in a seperate pouch

Band-Aids are in my lvl 1 kit

No idea what that is

Motrin, I have like 4 bottles of

I have 3 tiers of medical

Why not just emergency and nonemergency?

Lvl 1 is for baby boo-boos. Lvl 3 is like gunshots, 3degree burns etc
