I was perusing one of the Instagram pages where people buy and sell gear. I came across this "tactical trauma kit", I did a little research, and the fanny pack alone sells for almost $200, I didn't get an exact total on the contents, but am going with "not cheap". He wanted $200 for everything, I asked if he wanted any trades, and he said "only old video games" I happened to have Nintendo 64 collecting dust for the past 15-20 years at my parents, and he was totally onboard for a straight trade. The bag is by a company "Maddox defense", and a lot of the contents are North American rescue, or other names I recognized. Now, I admittedly don't know how to use any of this besides the tourniquet, but I do want to take some classes. The contents included: (2) CAT tq's (1) H-bandage combat dressing (1) Shears (1) Blast bandage (2) compressed gauze (1) SAM splint (1) trauma pad (2) quikclot combat gauze (3) celox packs (1) rubber breathing thingy (1) green splint thingy (1) quikclot hemostatic dressing (1) NAR 6" emergency dressing (1) needle decompression kit (3) pair sealed gloves (1) emergency blanket (1) "rite in the rain" note pad And the bag  uploads photos  uploads photos  uploads photos  uploads photos  uploads photos ------------------------------------ 135 ├┼┼╕ 246R | ||

Rubber airway thingy is a NPA... Lot of fun to administer to friends that annoy you, haha. Good trade. _________________________ Trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up | |||

I figured the needle decompression thing would be the most fun on a friend. I'll have to try both  ------------------------------------ 135 ├┼┼╕ 246R | |||

Yep. When I was trained to use it we practiced on each other. I was not a fan... "I, however, place economy among the first and most important republican virtues, and public debt as the greatest of the dangers to be feared." Thomas Jefferson | |||

I once saw a gal have an NPA inserted and not even flinch. We were serving a search warrant at her boyfriend's house and she was playing games "passing out." One of my colleagues said "good for her." I said "good for him . | |||

Green splint thingy is an oral airway. "Don't say a prayer for me now, save it til' the morning after". | |||

Score! Check expiration dates. RMD TL Davis: “The Second Amendment is special, not because it protects guns, but because its violation signals a government with the intention to oppress its people…” Remember: After the first one, the rest are free. | |||

Most are 12-13. Does this stuff really go bad? I know he was a marine, I assume he was a corpsman and this was his deployment gear ------------------------------------ 135 ├┼┼╕ 246R | |||

It does, kind of. Most of it will still work just not as well as new. Loss of Adhesion and loss of elasticity are two general factors that you will see with expired first aid gear. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.

If he was a marine he was not a corpsman. All corpsman are navy personnel attached to marine units. This is where my signature goes. | |||

Nice score. The celox gauze is a bit old but the other stuff if sealed should be fine. Look into a Dark Angel class. __________________________ Writing the next chapter that I've been looking forward to. | |||

that's a great idea, I'm going to do that.
I was actually on their website last night, the closest class they have to me is 7-8 hours away unfortunately. ------------------------------------ 135 ├┼┼╕ 246R | |||
