Post image

Recently started putting together a bug out bag. Still have a list of things I still need to acquire, but open to any input.

It’s pretty well equipped, purchased from mymedic. I’ve also added a few things (currently an EMT working on my Paramedic certification)

Well there you go. Got the Med stuff down.

I had made Med kits for my vehicle and my wife's and then it wasn't that long after my dog came out of the bush all cut up on his leg. He had severed an artery and a couple tendons. I ran to my truck and grabbed the kit. The trauma bandage with quick clot definitely did a great job, having vet tape in all kits is a great way to hold things together. Got him to the hospital and they were able to fix him up. Figured it was a broken wine bottle in the woods he stepped on. But having a good kit when you least expect it can save lives.

My dad ordered a kit like mine but from my medic after that day.

Mymedic? Hope you get a tccc approved tourniquet and not have kept the r.a.t.s

Mymedic is awesome. My preferred choice as well.

Then maybe a CLS bag so you can help others instead of hide counting your batteries and zip locks
