EMT Gear

[LoneStarSoldier]

I don't know how many of you are in the medical/Emergency Medical Technitian field, but it certainly helps to have a certain level of medical supplies with you in case things go South quickly. Even if it's a simple tourniquet, gauze pads, anti-septic, gloves, pocket masks, or whatever else comes to mind. I think it's especially important to have these things on you if you do have the training such as CPR, First Responder, EMT-B/I/P, or other skill-sets. Afterall, you're training and you are no good to a victim/patient if you don't have any equipment to use. A good place, that I've seen, to get medical-oriented equipment is

www.emp.com

You can request a catalog for free, to look at their things in more detail. Hopefully this helps someone who was like me and looked EVERYWHERE for medical supplies but couldn't find anything. Good hunting.

All im seeing at that link is a job search site for doctors.

I am but I have my own ALS kit I built for wilderness excursions. Other than that, I don't carry anything "just in case". Most places have a first aid kit handy that has anything I'd need to treat a boo-boo.

Another important and overlooked thing IMO, is testing your medical gear. Even if not treating a real injury, sacrifice some pressure bandages, have a tourniquet just for training purposes, and practice acting as a responder or self-administering some life-saving procedures to simulate being completely alone and injured. Same thing like with firearms, train until it's practically subconscious so you will act instead of freezing up.

Sig is right on when it comes to training and being familiar with your medical gear. Honestly, which are you more likely to use anytime soon? Your tricked out M4 or the first-aid kit you have tucked away haven't even looked at since you bought it?

I've had good luck dealing with North American Rescue - Home
