I know you've answered this before, I tried using tumblrs search function but it's garbage. What do you recommend for a tournequet? Looking to round out my wife and I's kit. Also is there an ifak you recommend? Or should I put that together myself? Thanks for the help in advance, I hope all is well with you and your family
It is probably way back in the blog. Tumblr decided to flag a few of my medical posts as adult content, as well. So who knows.
For tourniquets, I like to recommend the SOFT by TacMed Solutions. It is approved for use in the military. It works. And it is built well enough, and without plastic, that you can practice with the same tourniquet that you carry. The CAT by North American Rescue is good, too. But it has plastic and they recommend that you don't train with the tourniquet you carry.
I don't have any particular kit to recommend. But Medical Gear Outfitters has good gear. I like that he sells the first aid kits as well as refill kits for the bags. He also sells "boo-boo" kits for $10 for minor cuts, burns, or scraps. The guy who runs that site is a paramedic. He used to have a tumblr. Still has a YouTube channel called Skinny Medic. Check out that website.
And I will put down some of my more common tags for medical posts.
