[QUOTE="IanCo, post: 2346187, member: 106861"] I’ve been required to do First Aid/CPR training for work for close to 20 years and it is definitely valuable having the repetitions of the training. Probably the best part is realizing how much the change the chest compression/breaths ratio, makes you realize the exact number is probably not that important as long as you are doing them. I’ve had some generic first aid kits, some other ones I’ve cobbled together on my own, sometimes using expired stuff out of work First Aid kits. I carry quite a bit of expired stuff in my bird hunting vest for taking care of dogs too. This year at my new job we actually had trauma training involved in our annual pole top rescue/bucket truck rescue (Electrical Lineman). I’ve always wondered why tourniquets were not recommended or taught in CPR, I now realize they should have been. The fear of someone losing a limb is not worth letting them bleed to death. I decided to carry a more advanced kit in my pack and am going to get a larger one to carry in my truck at sometime too. [URL unfurl="true"]https://sheepdogresponse.com/collections/edc-medical-ifak/products/ocho-ifak[/URL] That’s what I carry in my pack, it’s small and has a lot in it. I think North American Rescue or some company like that makes that kit, it’s about the same price either way. There are a lot of injuries you can survive in the wilderness as long as you don’t bleed out, have an allergic reaction or get hypothermic. Get some training and get a kit that works for you.
