Razor, I thought you were the one that told me that Tampons were a no-no because they were designed not to stop bleeding, but to still allow a flow of blood......

I dig this kit

that Razor mentioned.

Jgood, I keep two traumedics in a TT frag pouch.

My other med gear is carried in a molle canteen cover with some other misc. surv. stuff.

C'mon now, where's the medics???? I'll prolly bleed out before they get here and share some wisdom!

Well, basic load for a hooah was one emergency trauma dressing, a roll of kerlex, and a tourniquet.

I carried 4 kerlex, 3 isralies, 2 nose hoses w/ lube, one J-tube, a couple alcohol pens w/ casualty feeder card, 2 IV starter kits w/ saline locks, 2 10cc srynges, and one of the flat 50cc bags in one of these:

It worked extremely well for me. I backfed everything into it according to how I would be treating a casualty... IV stuff on the bottom, ETD's, Kerlex, and the T on top. Airways were on the outer pouch along with the feeder card and pens.

What I carried might have been a bit much for the average "hooah" to pack, but considering I was the squad EMT before I went and crosstrained to RMED, I had more to care for than myself. The hooahs packing the ETD, kerlex and T had enough class 8 to be able to treat themselves off of.

I'm not a D, I'm a B. Our TM SOP is the med stuff is on the right side of whatever vest you wear. We all carry a TMS touniquet, two rolls of kerlex, a field dressing, an asherman chest seal, a cravat, and two needles for emergency needle decompression. We each also carry a compete IV set in our go rucks.
