Maybe this needs its own thread, but what do you consider a complete trauma kit? What would be a bare minimum trauma kit? I know what I think of when these terms are used, but I would like to see what others think.
For EDC with a normal functioning ems system it’s basically:
- tourniquet ( I personally prefer the SWAT-Tourniquet)
- hemostatic gauze (or plain gauze roll)
Sure I would like to carry additional items, but I prefer to consistently carry a minimal kit vs. a larger prone to be left at home.
Basically this gives you something to cover or stuff into a wound and something to create pressure, be it as a pressure dressing or a TQ
