I'm curious what you guys would be put into a range bag trauma kit.
I recently ordered the LA Police Operator Patrol Bag LINK for use as a range bag and I intend to use the center front pocket as the trauma pouch, marked with a red cross patch. I paint-penned a red cross on the LA Police bailout bag center pocket and have an Izzy bandage in there. (this reg bag is too small for the range and will become a trunk bag). At the moment I've got a two-part kit: trauma and basics. The basics will live in one of the mesh pouches in the lid. As you can see my trauma section needs work. I'd like to get in a clotting agent but not sure if sponge or powder, probably sponge, but then which brand? Trauma: Israeli bandage Two pair nitrile gloves Basics: Spray Sunscreen/Insect repellent Adventure Medical Kits - Travel Medic* * The AMK website lists the contents as follows: Bandage Materials 4 - Bandage, Adhesive, Fabric, 1" x 3" 1 - Bandage, Adhesive, Fabric, Knuckle 2 - Bandage, Butterfly Closure Blister / Burn 1 - GlacierGel (Large Oval) 11 - Moleskin, Pre-Cut & Shaped (11 pieces) Instrument 2 - Safety Pins Medication 2 - Acetaminophen (500 mg), Pkg./2 2 - Antacid, Pkg./2 2 - Antihistamine (Diphenhydramine 25 mg) 2 - Diamode (Loperamide HCI 2 mg), Pkg./1 2 - Diotame (Bismuth Subsalicylate), Pkg./2 2 - Ibuprofen (200 mg), Pkg./2 Other 2 - Wash-Up Towelette Wound Care 3 - After Cuts & Scrapes Antiseptic Wipe 3 - Alcohol Swab 1 - Triple Antibiotic Ointment, Single Use |

This is a pretty good list. Key things listed would be tourniquet, chest seal (Halo), pressure dressings (aka Israeli) and especially some type of rehydration powder/mix with warmer weather upon us. Not sure I would go with the aspirin since it has a tendency to inhibit clotting… something you would not want in a possible trauma situation.

The trauma is for trauma alone, the sort of thing appropriate to make time for higher care. The basics is just that, the basics. Sort of like a mini medicine cabinet for a papercut, a brass burn or a headache, the things much more likely to happen at the range.

I usually have an older North American Rescue Products CCRK Squad Kit in my daily driver, and just set it next to my range bag. So far, the kit has only been used on me by me to splint my broken leg.

Like fine herbs, dreams only develop their full fragrance when crushed and ground into a fine powder.
