I recently updated my vehicle first aid kit after the previous version was damaged during a storm.
It was a good excuse to get a new bag and a bunch of new additional gear.
That kit is quite large (over 14 lbs I think).It stays in the car since I carry multiple medical kits with me when I'm away from the car.
I'm curious what others keep in their kit.Or if you even have one.
Here's the front:
All zippers are marked with red electrical tape (easier to see than black zippers on a black bag).
There's a CAT tourniquet on the outside, a pair of nitrile gloves, a ResQme (glass breaker and seatbelt cutter), and a strobe light.
The bottom exterior pocket deals with bleeding.
It contains another CAT tourniquet, SWAT Tourniquet, compressed gauze, three 4" israeli bandages, one 6", SOFT T tourniquet, a few ABD pads and several pairs of gloves.A pair of trauma shears.
The israeli bandages are already out of the first package for fast access.
Also not shown are a couple of space blankets and large body warmers.
The top exterior pocket has some diagnostic equipment:
Headlamp, thermometer, BP cuff and pulse oximeter.
A third pocket contains a bunch of gauze pads of all sizes, rolls of gauze ...
Also sharpie, pens and notepads, a few hazmat bags.
The largest compartment opens with a clamshell design:
