| Every family should have at least one trained EMT-B .
Just in case you might "happen across" supplies that might have fallen off an ambulance or out of a fire house , someone will know how to properly use the stuff .
If you don't want to learn all the useless stuff that wont apply in the SHTF situation , at least one person in the family should take a wilderness medic course .
Either way you'll have a more realistic idea of what's truly needed .
Or if you can find a dealer of old Army field manuals (FM's) get yourself a copy of
FM 8-230 Combat / Medical Specialist Manual .
It covers everything mentioned in the two courses above and more almost to a EMT-P level .
