I recently purchased a product that I believe some here might like. I was interested in a way to carry some trauma supplies but not have to put anything on my duty belt. After some Google searches, I stumbled upon the concept of ankle carrying a trauma kit. After a lot of searching, I jumped head first onto a specific kit made by ATLAS Consulting Group out of Oregon.
This is a wide elastic band that can accommodate a variety of trauma supplies, but it's mainly built to hold a tourniquet, Benchmade rescue hook, and a trauma dressing. I ordered this online from the ATLAS webpage for $30 and it arrived within a couple of days. First impressions are everything and I was thoroughly impressed immediately. Upon inspection, it's quite obvious that this product is well made.
Here is the kit as one would wear it around their ankle
Everything laid out. I am carrying a Gen 3 SOFTT-W, H&H Mini Compression Bandage, Combat Gauze LE, and a Benchmade 8Med Rescue Hook. You could also carry a decompression needle but I have no training on those and I don't carry one. I am also thinking about putting a pair of nitrile gloves in one of the empty pockets.
Everything all packed up and laid out.
Overall, this a great piece of kit. I will be typing an email for my department in hopes they'll buy everyone one of these to wear. It's so much easier, on duty and off duty, to carry a trauma kit with this ankle band. I highly recommend this for those looking for something similar! The link below is where I purchased it from. Thanks for reading and I'll be happy to answer any questions!
