I think you should replace the ibuprofen with acetaminophen as ibuprofen does thin the blood a little considerable amount as well as make platelets slippery, not to the extent of an actual blood thinner but it’s anti inflammatory characteristics can cause more bleeding. Another thing about the CAT tourniquet, because of K9 anatomy, they aren’t super effective on dogs. For our furry friends, you’d want to use a SWAT-T or a TAC MED SOLUTIONS K9 tourniquet. I don’t think NPA’s are going out of fashion, they work great and are very compact. The SWAT-T is good for applying pressure but one downside in my opinion is that because it’s rubber, you can’t see fluid leak through which might be a problem if you’ve packed a wound because you can’t see re-bleeding. A great option for both the fanny and the IFAK that I prefer is a simple ace wrap. Rescue essentials makes flat packed vacuum sealed ace wraps which would fit great in these kits. I agree that you don’t necessarily need a tourniquet for a young child, their blood pressure is considerably lower than an adult’s BP. Also with the circumference of their extremities being smaller you can easily occlude blood flow with various pressure bandages. Also, is there any reason why you choose to carry roll gauze over compressed on the plate carrier kit?

I didn't even know that "compact chest seals" was a thing. Now I do, and I just ordered some. Thanks for the video! 🤙

I carry most of these items in a Coyote Burrito that I keep in my backpack. As a college student, I always have my bag so its always with me.

You guys are good dudes man, keep crushing

ARS needles among other things can’t be bought by anyone but EMS and doctors now. I tied to buy a sup IFAK while being a TCCC Marine and I got told no by North American rescue. Thanks government, y’all are really saving lives with this law….

The Tigers may have lost but always good to see them getting some love in the background.

At work, I keep an ifak on my belt from GBRS as a bleeder pouch with just kerlex, abd pads, 4x4s, combat gauze, co-band, and a couple pairs of gloves in the tourniquet holder. I wear an ankle ifak from warrior poet society with tourniquet, chest seals, chest dart, combat gauze, abd pad with co-band, x shears, swat t, and another pair of gloves.

Ironically I'm in my 40's I started wearing a fanny pack for three years. I got a few items in my funny pack, from my pistol, few roll gauze, cat, couple hemostats, npa, narcan, nitro tabs, sugar tabs "wife's diabetic" hyfan, sisscors,14 gauge needle, scaple, disposable stapler, surgical tubing and sutures. I was medical personnel, executive protection, and worked patrol in my past life and I hate going in public unless I go places with my wife.

I was searching for a good ifak video and wow 2 days ago!

Can we please get a "touch grass, touch iron, repent and turn to Jesus Christ" shirts? Please....

I'm still waiting for that hand to move.

I carry 2 tourniquets in my IFAK, 1 in my cargo pocket or inside my waist belt

SWATT can be used as a tourniquet on dogs or kids.

I, you, we have to be first responders; medical, self-defense, etc.

Solid info guys!!

Yall should check out guerrilla tacticals edc ifak!

So first, I recommend (and I think every sane physician would) the CAT, SOF-T, or SOF-T Wide TQs primarily. But the SWAT-T TQ does in fact work and I've personally stopped a brachial artery hemorrhage with it. That said, the only instance I can imagine you would actually WANT to carry it over another option is if you cannot practically carry another option. Buy a CAT, but if you are either going to throw a SWAT-T or nothing in your back pocket, carry the damn SWAT-T. In a full IFAK, carry a decomp needle or a scapel (ideally both). I'll be thankful if I'm around and so would many other trained providers.

Ohh wow!!! He said jnco!!!! That speaks of age

For decompression needles put it in the mid clavicliar line, 2nd intercostal space - just above the 3rd rib (to avoid the bundle of nerves) DISCLAIMER: I'm not a medical professional

Hard to read the package and the transcript misspells it. Are you referring to to “OLAES® Hemostatic Bandage” ?

March paws

ONLY 3 or 4 time's? Lo

Would you consider carrying stutures, hemostats for vascular litigation in the field? Or getting that checked off for the list to add to your toolbox

Funny enough jncos are coming back in style with fairly common crowds, not just the singular weird emo punk skater raver haha

Walking around a mall with a fanny pack is NEVER cool...:)

What's your fanny pack?

TQ could be the best and the worst thing in the case of gun wounds. If it's possible to transport wounded person so he will be treated in 1-2 hours, than yes, it's OK choice. Painfull, but guy won't bleed to death. But if you're in some shithole without possibility to transport injured person, than don't use it, unless that person is missing arm or leg.
