This kit. 👍

that’s what I have

Get yourself a Celox Z-fold Rapid. It's what they use in the military for trauma bleeding. Can plug holes where a tourniquet won't go.

This is what I use as personal kit. We have a large first aid kit with extra large bandages and a Stein medium bleed kit all in a parabag with a few other things in there too on the landing.

Chrias Forestry does these kits

I never found a personal kit I liked, so ended up making my own.

 

Buy a suitable pouch/bag, maxpedition do some good ones but there are other makers. If in doubt, get the contents first so you can measure how big you need.

 

What you put in it is up to you, but I generally have:

 

Israeli bandage

Triangular bandage

CAT torniquet

Packet of ibuprofen and paracetemol

Snappy thing of eye wash

Whistle

Antibacterial wipes

Paramedic shears

Black Sharpie

 

Maybe another couple of bits that I've forgotten.... This takes up not much more room than the standard personal kit you buy. Because you've made it, you know exactly what's in there and where it is, rather than potentially opening it for the first time in an emergency. And should be enough to get you to a full first aid kit and further help if needed

All the above and the air ambulance on speed dial .

On your person you just need a CAT, Israeli bandage and Celox guaze.

 

Anything else is non urgent and can stay in the site kit.
