lose the ET tube & IV gear. If you cannot give O2 then you are not trained enough to intubate or stick someone; you'll do more damage than good not to mention the criminal suit to follow.
I have 4 tourniquets on the loop panel, a bp cuff farther back

I have 3 chest seals in packaging that can also be used for a chest seal and duct tape, I can improvise probly 15 chest seals out of items in the kit, possibly more. I'll order a pair of HALO's next time I order med gear.

There are more than a dozen ziplocks used as water proofing thru-out the kit, most are not mentioned. I've corrected this in the original list.

Suggestions on a specific thermometer? I chose that one for general care, I have no infants. I'm avoiding anything glass due to the rough treatment this may receive.

Have one sharpie in the kit in the loop panel and one in my left front pocket, intend to pick up a red or green mini one during x mas.

BVM- please elaborate? They don't even teach to breath for the person anymore.

Bottles break and leak, I'll be getting lifeboat pouches next time I place an order or park city water bladders when I can find them.

there are 2 cold compresses already one large stored in the back panel outside of boo boo kit, one medium inside the boo boo kit.

there are 4 hand/foot warmers in the boo boo kit and 2 mre meal heaters in the personals section.

ET tube stays and the only IV gear is a 14ga cath needle for chest decompression which also stays. I've stated this before in another thread in response to the comments you have for these type of items, I believe it's better to have it and not need it. They are obviously a last resort. If you want further justification my shooting buddies include an EMT, an OR nurse, a CNA and lots of combat life savers. All have permission to use the items on me if I need it. You won't be able to change my mind on these items.
