Personal 1st Aid/Medical Kits
Could we get some feedback from the medical personnel on this site with recommendations on what would be appropriate for medical gear in several size kits?
I would say that the first would be tiny, for inclusion in the Altoids/tobacco can sized survival kit, consisting of 1 cubic inch or so, one that would fit in an issue aid pouch (on the LBE), one for the cigar box sized first aid kit (likely to be carried in/on the ruck), then one for the full blown home/vehicle/dedicated medical M-5 type bag. Assume access to meds and Basic Combat Lifesaver and SF medical cross-training. Also assume that the larger kits are for more than just 1st aid, and include the contents to make some treatment possible.
Would anyone else like to see this, or am I alone in my interest?
Admins please move to the med forums if more appropriate there.
Thanks.
