Gunny's First Aid Kit **It is Reborn! Page 4&5 (Pics)**

Some women don't use tampons, so you might want to pack some pads as well. Also, I don't know how well pads would work as wound dressings - the adhesive side is opposite the absorption side, and the adhesive is terrible, so they wouldn't stick independently of tape. Might as well use some gauze and avoid the funny looks from the patient.

Couldn't hurt for sure.

And welcome to the forums

Nice bag Gunny!! I am very jealous.

I don't see any burn treatment stuff in there though?

You can apply all the gauze in the world: it won't help. You need both gauze AND pressure to stop a (serious) bleed.

I think after the first 90 to 100 pounds of gauze you applied you could stop bleeding with gauze without applying any pressure yourself...

All the gauze in the world is a lot of gauze.

Heh you could just wrap the patient in gauze like a mummy like I do. That method works everytime some of the time.

This is kind of off topic, but still has to do with your trauma kit, Gunny. I understand that you are carrying this kit in your BOV (Which I'm assuming is also your main transport vehicle) and so you might want to include some a fire extinguisher (I'm sure you already got one of those, though) road flares or strobe light, and seat belt cutters/window punch-- if not in your trauma bag, then at least in the trunk of your BOV-- in case you come across a car wreck.

I say this only because (at least where I come from, where there be some crazy b*tches on the road) you're probably more likely to witness or come across or be involved in a car wreck than anything else. (Again, this is me assuming, and as we all know, if you make an assumption you are an ass and an ump will shun you).

And if you can find the room in that beast of a bag, I'm sure you could slip the jaws of life in there somewhere

I'd yell at you if your forum name wasn't so chock full of win.

The bag is London Bridge. It could be bright pink for all I care, but it's a $425 pack I got for $150.

IAmWillIAm: My truck squats due to my truck bag I keep. I'm good to go in that area. If you poke around the personal experiences section you'll see a few posts by me where I've rendered aid in MVA's. One of the main reasons I became interested in medicine was partly my talent for seeing wrecks happen and partly due to knowing Doc Simon.

Thanks for the ideas though, never hurts to cover all your bases.

I've come to love ACU. specially when it gets a little grimy/dusty.

It works.

Crypto you're mostly a good man, too bad you'll spend an eternity in a lake of fire over this post.

ACU's don't work in the desert. The desert is brown not green! Plus there's a host of other problems like the ones mentioned here: http://backyardadventures.blogspot.com/ ... -acus.html

See, this is what you get when you say you love the ACU

I know the new FAK has been up for a while but do you have a thermometer or tempadots? Also on the tampons things, I would switch to OB tampons. I carry them in my FAK, they are smaller and don't have an applicator so you wouldn't have to push the tampon out of the applicator to get to it.

[crypto]

+1 on OB tampons. I once had a truly ridiculous double nosebleed out in the middle of nowhere while driving, courtesy of dry winter and a cold.

I had a couple o.b. tampoons in the glove box and shoved one in each nostril and drove for 50 miles until it was done. You can really jam them up in there and apply direct pressure.

That conjures up an image I really don't want to see.

[barbara]

How can we get one of these kits???

You keep tampons in your glove box?

My fiance forced me to carry an extra pair of her socks in my glove box (new and clean, thank god) ... but I won't (read: REFUSE TO GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO MY OWN DAMN GLOVE BOX) let her keep tampons in it.

I will ask you again, how do we get one?

[Ovationman]

I will ask you again, how do we get one?

Get what?

[JIM]

I will ask you again, how do we get one?

Get what?

By making an introduction post, filling in some stuff in your profile, getting the apropriate medical training to use the supplies usually found in these kinds of bags, getting those supplies and then taking a look at these threads: viewtopic.php?f=43&t=23901 and viewtopic.php?f=43&t=28500&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=stomp+II

Also there has been a lot of recent threads about STOMP-II bags. You might want to use the search-function. Try to search for: 'STOMP-II' .

Gunny bought his on sale at Rite-Aid. I'd suggest checking there first. Don't be afraid to ask the store manager to special order one for you if you can't find any left on the clearance table.

Dude don't be a dick. Go read our rules.

Barbara: drop me an email to gunny@zombiehunters.org and I'll help you get started. An introduction post might not be a bad idea as well.
