[QUOTE="C-130 Dude, post: 2836451, member: 122991"] I agree that most people are not as adept at first aid as they profess. In well over half of all serious cases, the spectators are the ones that administer the aid. Most of those don't have the gear or the knowhow to use them. But there are a few that do. That said, I would rather have the trauma/fak kit with me and take the chance that I, or God willing, somebody else would step up and try to save me. Training considered, I would hope they did have training, but would gladly welcome help even if they didn't. YES, some help actually hinders a successful save. But again, something is better than nothing. I for one could not, in good conscience, stand by and do nothing. My purpose for this thread was to seek input for updating my FAK. I should have said FAK/Trauma kit. We should require both for hunting and shooting. After all, we are our own last line of defense. But there are special requirements for using gear above and beyond boo boo kit. Clot powder (some), vents, chest seals, tourniquets and other special gear mandates advanced training and in most states, licensing. If we feel that these advanced training issues need to be treated or addressed by us, then it is incumbent to get the proper training. If I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it right. I have and I did. [/QUOTE]
