Med Kits: The Most Important Thing to Have at the Range....and at home, or when traveling |
2021-09-05 |
[Pew Pew Review] When packing your range bag I’m willing to bet the majority of shooters forget one very important piece of gear. This piece of gear can save a life, and it does so every day. So what is it? Special attention to the military-issue CAT tourniquet and Quikclot Combat Gauze. |

#9 Yes on the salmon but no on the rock-hopping. Mostly drifting in the 15 foot jet boat or wading off gravel/sand bars. We're not too far from a small clinic so the odd broken arm or gashed finger isn't a major concern. More worried about a bear encounter or trauma from a boating accident. Semper Paratus |

#8 Ah'm thinkin' you're gonna be rock-hoppin salmon fishing. An aircast might also be appropriate for the slippery rock leg or arm collision challenge. Also a stitch kit with surgical shears. |

#6 Tampons work on the entry wound, will need sanitary napkins for the exit wound. |

#5 If a tampon saved me from a gunshot wound, I'd laugh all the way. |

#4 Laugh Not Feminine Hygiene Pads, small box of white draw string kitchen Garbage bags, Blue Painters tape, bottle of rubber clement, 1 dz large HD rubber bands, and 1/5th of Ever-Clear (190P) all make very good Emergency wounds items. While also minimizing what you have to carry. |

#3 The new coagulent dressings and powders you should never be without. That said, a dry cleaning bag and duct tape is all you need for a sucking chest wound in the field. |
