I took the Stop the Bleed class and now I want to get the gear. I looked at the usual sources like North American Rescue and some others. Sure I want good stuff in case I actually have to use it. But I try to be frugal and save money where I can without compromising quality.
Can I build a kit by cherry picking individual components and buying a pouch separately?
I'm no EMT or other type of First Responder so airway stuff won't be included. Here are the basics I have so far:
Gloves
Tourniquet
Combat Clot
Gauze
Chest Seal
Garment scissors
Israeli bandage
I may combine my "boo boo" kit with it, if I have room and it doesn't complicate things.
I have looked at Blue Force Gear-expensive and out of stock
Gear bags.com for just pouches-reasonable prices
skdtac.com-Tall Boy pouch look like it has potential

Please educate me on what I need, don't need, things that work for you, advice, where to shop and post up pics it you want.
