Do you carry medical gear as part of your EDC?
Do you carry any trauma medical such as a Tourniquet, gauze, ect, with you as part of your daily carry?

On person? In vehicle?

If so, where, what, and how do you carry them?

I have always had a first aid kit and CPR mask in my car.

On my person every day, no. Too much to carry for the rare chance of needing it.

Have a small bottle of rubbing alcohol and some band-aids in a ziplock bag in my truck console, and they’ve come in handy more than once, but I bet you’re talking about something more involved than that.

Small first aid kit in the vehicle with a few bandages.

I keep a couple small Band-aids tucked in the back of my wallet for those occasional nicks. Seems like I use them or give them to someone about once a year.

Major trauma kit? No

I carry a fairly well stocked trauma kit in both of my vehicles. When I take the train to work I have a backpack with a smaller kit in it. My range bag has one in it too.

I have everything up to and including airway and suture kits in my vehicle kit. It comes with me to sea, regardless of who or what I have embarked in terms of medical care.

Each car has a DARK kit in it. I generally wear a AFAK (ankle first aid kit) with TQ, chest seal, quickklot gauze, mini-compression bandage, several exam gloves, sharpie, and 3’ of gorilla tape (folded around a used room key tales very little space).

Have yet to need anything other than the sharpie, but better to have and not need...

I have a bunch in my range bag, but I don’t carry anything daily. Cellphone, flashlight, knife, handgun, reload, and keys are enough.

I’m not an EMT, LEO, or Batman. My belt only holds so much. Wink

I have lots of stuff in a bag in the truck, but the most used item I get is Dermabond. The stuff just works and its convenient.

I don't typically carry medical gear on my person off duty. However...

I keep medium-sized trauma kits as well as "boo boo kits" in all my vehicles.

I wear a TQ and mini trauma kit on duty.

My active shooter go bag has a small trauma kit and several TQs.

My range bag has a small trauma kit and TQ.

When I'm off I keep a IFAK with tourniquet, hemostatic dressing, gauze, tape, scissors, and chest seals in my bag of junk that usually goes with me.

When I'm working I have an IFAK in my vehicle, plus two tourniquets and a SWAT tourniquet in my vest. I also have a separate bag of goodies in whatever vehicle I'm in usually that will have a CPR mask.

But I don't carry medical stuff in my pockets when I'm off.




Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here.

Pretty much what chongosuerte said. I carry a very small IFAK not much larger than a large iPhone when I venture into town. We're pretty safe here in the country except when hunting season rolls around.
