I'm trying to get a couple of trauma kits put together and am looking for some input. Looked over previous threads and got some ideas, but I know I tend to go overboard what-iffing when it comes to packing things so I need some help keeping things rational and not bank-breaking.
As background, I was a volunteer firefighter for four years; never got to take EMT classes and never worked a major trauma case, but we did basic trauma training, I have done CPR in the field, and back in the day I could board and collar like nobody's business
There is a local outfit that offers a trauma training class and I'll be trying to attend their next series of classes whenever that is.
The idea would be to have one stashed in the car (which I could attach to the range bag as required) and one at home. Ideally I'd like something I could carry every day but I'm not quite sure what to put in that, nor how big of something I could make use of that I'd actually be able (and remember) to carry every day.
We live within line-of-sight to a fire station, but sometimes we drive through more rural areas. We also have a toddler to worry about so I need supplies that will work for him, too.
For each of the big kits, I'm thinking this:
Tourniquet (2)
Israeli bandage (2)
Emergency blanket (2)
CPR mask
Chest seal 2-pack (2)
Hemostatic gauze (2)
Regular gauze packs (2)
Tape (1 roll)
Pocket BVM (1)
Nitrile gloves (2-3 pair)
Shears (1)
Alcohol swabs
Baby aspirin
"Booboo kit" for the car pack; we have this stuff at home
All criticism welcome
