Mike M.:
Randy you nailed it. It is priceless. I was always told that if you save one person all the time and money spent was worth it.

ranger04:
First Responder last 5 years  AED/CPR , First Aid, Attended training on Gun Shot wounds,

Roper:
I was on a volunteer fire dept in Wyoming several years ago and I took the first responder training.  I figured out pretty quickly that the best place for me at a crash site would be flagging traffic! I was out on a lot of house and grass fires, but never an injury call.

bullit:
4 years after college and 3 years of residency

Everyone out there carrying needs to have some sort of trauma kit in their vehicle and their home. This is one thing not stressed enough in a CHP course.  You may indeed get shot (or someone in your family).   A good place to start is www.NARescue.com

Something as simple as their Operator BLS/IFAK kit is must have, or strongly consider.

I was considering adding this to my jump kit and for my wife's car's medic kit.
Has anyone used this I understand that it is used over seas in the Sand Box.

Every shooter needs to have a medical kit be-it for the field the range or private shooting area.
Start with some 4x4"s medical gauze and some wrap-able bandage/gauze.
Don't worry that you have enough Tylenol worry if you can stop the bleed remember direct pressure to the wound.

Think about it you are in the woods maybe have cell service could you even direct a Rescue Squad to your location? Could they find you in time? Will you see your family again? Who is going to teach that grand child how to shoot?

I am going on a Prairie Dog Shoot in early June, Will be app 15 miles NW of Devils Tower these areas are called good luck zones if you are hurt or have a medical problem.
Good luck meaning you will be lucky if you survive.

Here is one more of many pre made up kits and reasonable about the cost of a box bullets.
