Let's see your first aid kits...

What the heck? Some sort of target?

Oh, hay, medical stuff.

Wouldn't you know it, stuff hasn't changed much...

Field dressings (which appear to still be vaccum packed), some supplimented American Airlines band-aids, water purification tablets, Meritholate Ampules?, an old school canvas torniquet, an iodine ampule, supplimented surgical tape, two petroleum dressings, ammonia, guaze compress and a few eye dressings.

It looks like some of the stuff is WW2, some stuff might be later. With the exceptions of the AA Band-aids and tape it looks to be all issued kit. So, there's what the solider of yester-year was packing.

What do you keep handy for first aid?

I was looking at getting one of these to toss in my range bag: http://www.tacticalmedicalpacks.com/pack_tacpack_qc.html

Any thoughts on them? I have first-responder and CPR training from my time in the :comeandgetsome: POLICE EXPLORERZ :comeandgetsome: back in highschool, but not much since then. Basically I could probably muster enough of my memory to stop the bleeding with the right tools but not much else.

EDIT for pic & bag contents:

* Latex-Free Gloves
* Roll Bandage
* Gauze
* Abdominal Pad
* N-95 Respirator Mask
* Triangular Bandage
* Tape
* Occlusive Dressing
* CPR Microshield
* 25gram Quick Clot® Sponge.

That's a pretty solid kit, Highmeh. Not too much more I'd recommend based on your training.

Is that respirator mask for use with CPR or to use against dust? I'm guessing the latter.

As for my FAKs, just basic bandaids, gauze, and tape. Though the one in my house has more gauze, gauze pads, and tape since it's geared towards my cutting a limb or something off working with powertools.

The weak don't belong in the woods. Friend or horse, get hurt, get put down.

(real answer: I've got a waterproof tupperware box with a few pressure bandages, various band-aids, some gauze, some iodine, needle and sutures, burn ointment, gloves, and some tourniquet tubing, a scalpel and a spare blade, some tweesers, plus some tylenol and a couple significantly stronger pills that my physician father gave me for totally fucked "watch him and two compound femur fractures while I go get help" situations.)

I keep a nurse in the house. Mostly she just tells me to quit whining and put a band-aid on it.

Sup Browning Auto-5 buddy? Made in Belgium, what.

Look a little close, it's an 870. A Wingmaster to be precise. A really old wingmaster (early 70s) Wingmaster to be even more precise.

My dad does have a Model 8 that lives in my safe back in OR, however, and that's basically an Auto-5 in a rifle caliber.

Oh wow. The wood looks just like the Browning's wood, but I do see the differences in the receivers and such.
