good advice, i was expecting some expenisive hi tech stuff like quick clot

[delta69alpha]

@poleun9 just keeping it basic. QC isnt the best thing out there. And honestly, there's a ton you can do with knowing how to apply pressure with items shown in the film and not( 4x4's,ace wraps, roll gauze etc). Train with what you have and know how to use it, not only in your ifak/fak but with any of your gear/kit.

V.O.K. is not a generic term, it is a product name...

@garry0wen if someone renames the wheel is it not still a wheel ...

[thors200]

what level of training is required to use such items. is it on beyond first aid/ CPR? or would a basic course cover one pretty well?

[delta69alpha]

to be honest the more training you have the better. I have gone through several "basic" FA classes over the years and recently ( last year) went through the red cross FA ,CPR,AED course's, along with a CLS course 3 years ago. Even with that i feel under " gunned" if i was to have to treat a major GSW or trauma. I build my kits around my skill limits,with 1-2 extra items for "buddy aid" and that's it. Like everything else you need to train and practice.

I take an "Izzy" when I hunt also.

Saw a neat idea a while back (can't remember where) and have started using it. If you're going to get shot, chances are (murphy's law) its going to be dark, so if you package a chem-stick (small one) with your bandage and keep it in the same place (upper chest pocket) you will at least be able to see what you are doing when you try to plug the newly acquired hole.

Thanks for the important money saving tips!

You can get a IFAK w/o the molle pouch for around 20-30$ on e-bay with a C.A.T in it. Which is good considering the C.A.T. can run that much itself. Then get a surplus IFAK pouch for 5-10$ and add a few other things. Or buy the complete IFAKS kit on the same web page for 50-infinity$

I prefer duck (duct tape/100mph tape) instead of 1st aid tape

[1dducks]

Can't the izzy bandage be used as a tourniquet in a pinch?

[andddrewsays]

its called a pharyngeal ( FAIR - EN - GE- EL )

:) good vid

For your compress just go to the store and buy a Pad for extra extra fat women. Those things are huge and I expect they will absorb lots of blood.

I am an Emergency Physician and must sat I really respect you for emphasizing training in your video. I've seen visors out there with life guards hauling around STOMP II bags full of equipment they don't have a clue how to use!
