Every Day Carry by Gomez-Training.com

After a bunch of emails, I broke down and did an EDC video.Take a look at the knives, guns, holsters, mag pouches, flashlights, pepper spray and med gear that make up my daily carry and hear the thought processes behind them. www.Gomez-Training.com

Where you recommend trauma training I can never find a place for that.

[Gomez8136]

@Mrcaffinebean -- There are a number of options these days. I offer a four hour 'Handling Traumatic Injury' class, generally on the Friday evenings before a weekend class. Tactical Response offers a 2 day Immediate Action Medical course, Insights Training Center offers a Tactical First Aid class. Another company that is owned by a friend of mine is Lone Star Medics. They offer some great classes focusing on different aspects of tactical medicine. Where are you located?

[Mrcaffinebean]

@Gomez8136 Central VA, I looked around but really couldn't find much medical stuff.

[Gomez8136]

@Mrcaffinebean --- I don't know anything about them but RED6 in Lynchburg has brought John Farnam in for his Tactical Treatment of Gunshot Wounds class. Also, there is a Virginia Tactical Medical Association that may be able to provide some resources for you to look into. Tactical Response has a DVD entitled Gunshot Wound Basics which I am fond of as well.

@Gomez8136 You could always tear an old Bic pen or two apart, cut the barrel to length, and either seal the open end with the normal pen tip/cap, or take the end pieces off two pens and use them to seal both ends. This might not be the quickest thing to gain access to the needle in a pinch, but if you carry a knife every day you could always cut it, or mash one end until the plug comes loose. Just an idea.

@wcropp1 that he's not a huge fan of the TK4 style torniquets either, but they're hard to beat for their size and cost. That is, except for a cravat and a split ring. Any other medical videos would be greatly appreciated as well, as not just anyone on YT is qualified to teach combat medicine. Thanks for the info.

@Gomez8136 I'm looking forward to this video--it seems like a logical enough, easy to carry solution--many people already carry some type of carabiner for their keys anyway. Interestingly, my buddy is a corpsman and mentioned that he prefers triangular bandages and grenade pins to CATs, as the velcro could become useless when clogged with blood/sand and the plastic windlass was prone to bending/breaking. He did mention that he likes the SOF Tactical Torniquets though. He mentioned

@Gomez8136 I'll look into those thanks for the info!

@kenpotex -- Doesn't quite work, dammit!! After responding to your comment, I went ahead and grabbed a mini-Sharpie and a pair of pliers...they are a bit too short to accommodate the 3.25" needle. I'll keep looking for some sort of rigid tube that is smaller than what NARP & Mojo are using.

[kenpotex]

@Gomez8136 Cool, thanks. The mini-sharpie is a good idea.
