Thanks for all the kudos folks. Really wasn't what I was looking for.

I try to carry the tools necessary to make use of the skills I have. I know myself, and I know that I would not be able to live with myself if I simply sat by and watched when I had the skills and knowledge to make a difference. I know a lot of folks on this board feel the same way.

I know that a lot of us get resistance from friends and family, wondering why we lug around the EDC kits that we do. I simply wanted to provide an example of how my EDC allowed me to help out in an emergency, and do so from a position of relative safety by carrying gloves and a pocket mask.

I may feel bad about not helping, but I've got a wife and kids to think about, and there's no way I'm doing mouth-to-mouth without a mask (except for my wife or kids), nor do I want to be touching bodily fluids of a stranger without gloves. Without my EDC, the decision to jump in and help a stranger becomes much more complicated.

Thanks again for the kind words from all of you. Keep carrying your EDC, learn as much as you can, hope you never have to use any of it, but know you are prepared if you ever do.
