Blow out Kit's, whatcha got?

[Ray Ray 3,566]

Since we are in a dangerous sport/passion/pass-time we should definitly have something to use in case the unexpected happens. For those that don't know what a Blow out Kit is it's a first aid kit for shooters.

 

What do you gents (and ladies) have and use?

[Babaganoosh 192]

Duct tape and superglue

I have my parents phone number. Mommy and Daddy always know what to do.

In my range bag I have a pack of quick clot, sterile gauze, a tourniquet, and some non latex gloves. In my car I have a pretty well set up BLS bag with more dressings, airway stuff, steth, SAM splint, bp cuff, etc.

 

Im more than likely going to take out the quick clot though, because I'd only be able to use it on myself. Its out of my scope of practice, and if I were to use it on someone else it could get my cert pulled.

1. 1x QuikClot® Combat Gauze™ Hemostatic
   
2. 1x HALO Chest Seal
   
3. 1x 14G Decompression needle
   
4. 1x Nasopharyngeal Airway 28F w/ Lubricant
   
5. 1x Israeli Bandage 4”
   
6. 1x Ace Bandage 4”
   
7. 1x Z-Pack gauze
   
8. 1x Combat Casualty Card
   
9. 1x Pencil
   
10. 2x Gloves
    
11. 2-4x Pairs of sterile latex gloves
    
12. 1x Medical tape
    
13. 1x Shears
    
14. 1x Petro jelly
    
15. 1x Duct tape

Nice size for a carry kit. Similar to the EMT pouch http://www.condoroutdoor.com/ma21emtpouch.aspx and at Booth 25403 at the Shot Show if anybody's out there.

[Ray Ray 3,566]

Now, are there like 2 kinds of blow out kits? Maybe one for ouches and boo-boo's and the other for "I just got shot!" ???

[AnthonyG 36]

I have a JustIN Case mini medic kit, it has basic stuff for "boo boo's" plus some pads and such for bigger wounds but if I got shot I would probably just bleed out.

 

Question, Was it not quikclot the hemostatic the army stopped using because it causes chemical burns or something of that nature?

Yes. The Army stopped using that version of the product. It was replaced with a different formula and subsequently is now impregnated into the gauze. I understand it is carried by all of the special forces groups and in many of the IPFK's (Individual Personal First Aid Kits) .

That's because medical tape sucks when things get messy...

Combat gauze is the hemostatic agent of choice for the Army. It's all over not just with SOCOM guys.

[HKHockey 5]

Wow, I want you guys in the shooting stall next to me. Unfortunately I lack knowledge in first-aid situations and would probably end up doing more bad than good. =/
