Military trauma kit handy for hunting trips
Can be short on this. My work includes visits to very deserted and violent places Its almost like hunting what I am doing. So talking about hunting: Most of us hunt in rural areas where we are far away from professional medical help
So I keep a first aid kit plus a trauma kit at hand. To handle gun shot wounds or serious bleeding this kit includes supply's to stop bleeding and support life.
Last thing you wanna do is try and take a bullet or other metal things out of someone's body. Playing for doctor you could end up cutting a smallish artery and then your patient internally bleed to death or go into shock due massive infection being introduced into the body and never recover (seen it happen )
Do not mess around with wounds by attempting to take projectiles out. Unless you are a trained surgeon, these things should NEVER be attempted. A bullet will rarely be found at or near the entry wound and in all probability they will not have gone inside in a straight line. With the possibility of shattered bone shrapnel and what not the chances of doing harm far outweighs any benefits on a field surgery by untrained hands in non-sterile conditions.
It is strongly recommended that all efforts should be directed at controlling the bleeding and transporting the victim to proper medical facilities as quickly as possible.
Whats in the kit:
1 1 500ml hemaxel IV
2 1 catheter for iv
3 1 PRO med abdominal gauze
4 4 gauze 10 by 10s

8 2 steri strips
9 1 tape
10 5 saline 0.9 packs
11 2 crape bandages
12 Large bandages to used as support for arms/fixing splints
13 Anti septic ointment for cuts and crazes
14 Feminine pads they are designed for holding large amounts of blood and to keep it away from the surface
15 Tweezers
16 Dettol
17 5x1ltr Bottle of drinkable water
18 large syringes to be used for wound irrgation
19 Anti histamine tablets
20 Ibrofen
21 paracetamol
22 Pyvodine (10% sol.)
