You might think about field stripping those MRE's.
After seeing the video I will be field stripping those MRE's as soon as I get a chance. I never really field stripped & repackaged an MRE like that but that video was well worth watching and I will start doing that.
What are your thought on celox? If you like them about how many 2g packets of the celox do you all think would be appropriate?
This is the best deal I've seen:
Celox Home 2g - 10 packets - Stops bleeding fast! | eBay
I would just stick with H bandages and Izzy's for your bag.
call me a jarhead....but I prepare for the worst...so the following is the start of my suggestions
while in a live or die situation would you rather bleed to death, or seek a surgery later on.....study up, and keep the suture kits....when you have access to properly trained medics and live in a perfect world then sure you may not need them....but then if that were the case you wouldn't have a need for such a bag to begin with....it's called just in case for a reason
.I've known many guys to use the superglue trick and it will work so long as the injury isn't rushing out enough blood to wash out the glue...in which case you will need the sutures......get your hands on some local anesthetic if you can
on a similar note...in the odd instance you should need to calderize a wound, which I wouldn't recommend but sometimes may be necessary....you should have a clean blade....so you may wish to pack a knife without the spray paint finish
An EMT and other EMS cannot use that. If you would like to hear an accurate account of it's use, ask a soldier. That is an absolute last resort method too. Not recommended for application in a daily setting.I'm probably going to order the bandages with that stuff in it, rather than the powder. I've read that, if it blows in your eyes, it'll permenantly blind you.
I'm sure one of the emts here will know more about it than I, though.
