Do any of you carry medical supplies with you at the range? I just got a chain saw and got a tactical turiniquite kit and some quick clot. I just doubled my order and added the second to my range bag. Does anyone else carry worst case gear.
I have a good med kit in the truck. I only want to carry the minimum in my bag and less than life or death can wait for the truck kit. I added this to my bag it's super light and I gave training to both kids even though my daughter doesn't go to the range. More about the saw danger and preparing them bothI do. I’m wired that way, having been a paramedic for nearly 30 years. It’s really minimalistic: a tourniquet, one or two 5x9 combi-pads and a roll of gauze. I don’t want anything I don’t have to have, and it don’t want it taking up a lot of space. No IV fluids or airway stuff. A few basic first aid items are useful too: bandaids, ibuprofen, hydrocortisone cream. I’ll add low dose aspirin, its benefit in the event of a heart attack is real. I’d say it’s more likely that someone has chest pain during training than gets shot. My $.02.
I don't see any braces. I like the foam splints. Between the old lady shattering her ankle and many brakes at BMX they get the most milage along with ace wraps. Fortunately I don't have much experience fixing holes in me... I'd actually like to keep it that way.View attachment 1099735

I built this one for my range and hunting toolbox. I have a second one in my truck. I keep a stripped down version in my EDC backpack.
I always have a mini IFK on me, even just walking around town. CAT, Combat Gauze, gloves, etc.Do any of you Cary medical supplies with you at the range?

I'm not sucking out poison. I'll pop a double dose of benadryl and go to the hospital.CAT and Quickclot powder are the bare minimum for medical supplies to deal with massive traumas. I carry both in an ankle holster about 98% of the time carry.
I don't have a current range that I frequent. Close downs and whatnot. One thing to point out, the most important thing to carry on you if you visit an outdoor range is a snake bite kit. Most states, especially in the south and west, have venomous snakes. And a kit to suck out some venom can prove far more useful than a large kit to treat a bullet wound. Add in some cans of insect spray and sun block to round non trauma items.

I keep a turiniquite with me at all times. I would keep quick clot, but I don’t know how to use it. Beside that, I do keep a 1st aid kit, and took a cpr class for babies and toddlersDo any of you Cary medical supplies with you at the range?

It's pretty simple, dump in the wound, apply gause and wrap to apply pressure. I told my kids if it bleeds apply pressure, still bleeding, apply clotting agent and wrap, still bleeding or it squirts break out the tourniquet. I tried to explain its going to hurt if your doing it right but I didn't want to scare them from using it if needed.I keep a turiniquite with me at all times.

I’ll get some quick clot from amazon, I have a decent supply of wraps, galze, medical tape, ivermectin, rubbing alcohol, and so on… I believe in being prepared.It's pretty simple, dump in the wound, apply gause and wrap to apply pressure.

let look it upGauze, bandaids, gauze pads, white tape, Neosporin in a smallish, leather milsurp case.
I've had advanced first aid training from an MD, how to learn in brief about Quickclot product, videos?
I think a better question would be, if you carry the stuff do you know how to use it correctly?
I don't on the range bag, but do on my motorcycle.
