Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Someone just reminded me that I recently added a Halo Chest Seal and some Combat Gauze to that pack -- not in the picture or on my list (both of which are more than an year old).
What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

If you haven't had training, check with Cmilliard here. His classes are great.
I just put two courses up on the schedule - Mick-boy is spot on and a squared away dude, Training First.

As far as an IFAK goes - Know your capabilities and don't wander to far outside of them. Basic boo-boo stuff is good but if you want real lifesaving stuff look to a Dark Angel, North American Rescue, Rescue Essentials, TacMedSolutions, and Chinook for the best kit available.
I keep a pretty basic kit in my car. My plate carrier I use the North American Rescue Eagle IFAK - Sweet litte kit when you take the Tourniquet out and place on your kit.
The Kit Wulf202 has is pretty darn good for extended stuff.
For EDC I carry a Combat Gauze, SWAT Tourniquet and Gloves in a ziplock bag. ITS Tactical makes the same thing vacuum packed. This is a small kit and will save a life and would have served well in Boston.
This is the 3rd or 4th hit on this I have seen in the past day - People wanting to be medically prepared. I will say several lives were saved in Boston because of Time and Tourniquets. The injuries are the same as what is seen in Iraq and A-Stan and TQ's have been proven to save lives with these types of injuries. Without a doubt if EMS and bystanders where not there so fast there would have been many that bled out and died. Kudos to everyone who responded they way they did.
On another note if anyone is interested in the Mass Violence courses I can put one up pretty quick. Very real information and relevant with the events in Boston. The news media has reported with about 50% accuracy and it pisses me off. You want real info take the Mass Violence Class, I promise you it is NOT what you hear on TV.

OK, guess I'm a little behind the times as I just use my combat lifesaver's bag from the Army, sans IV bag, and tossed a few extra goodies in.
great pictures good ways to see what you are packing. Thank you
