Professional Soldiers ® - View Single Post - Civilian Med-kit Recommendations?

Pigpen · 07-08-2008, 18:25

The course I am at is in the process of revamping our med kits/CLS bags. After looking thru the pitiful things in the 25lbs CLS bag (most of which we will never need) I decided maybe you guys could better help me out. We have authorization to purchase, but I am just alittle behind the power curve of what is out there and where to look.

Let me give specifics of the type of injuries we might sustain and you all take me home please.

In priority from worst case to common:
Rattlesnake/Coral Snake bite
Broken lower leg or arm
Heat injury
Class II or III sprains (ankle injury)
Minor cuts (rarely requiring stitches)
abrasions

We are looking for something light weight (obviously, aren't we all) which could easily fit in a day-pack. We also can get the patient to a facility in <45 minutes.
