The MARCH Algorithm In Tactical Combat Casualty Care

Hmm looks like you guys already covered it pretty good for what you can get without a script. I will eco the TQ comments don’t get cheap crap. Yea you can get a deal on Amazon or elsewhere for something that looks good but they will likely fail. I carry the CAT at work in the gear, on my belt and have some at home. Chest seals, compression bandages, quick clot and roll gauze. But most importantly learn how to use it. And practice putting a TQ on yourself (hint this is what a cheapo TQ is good for) chest seals can be made and keep in mind the vents on commercial seal can get clogged. Take a stop the bleed class (every gunclub and VFD should hold them) they are basic but show proper wound packing and TQ applications.

North American Rescue is a good source for supply.

Is there anything supply wise on here that you would go with? I just ordered the standard medical pouch. Thanks.

It would depend but if I was making a kit for an individual to wear or keep in a pack it would have 2 TQs , 2 chest seals, 2 Olaes or other compression bandages , two rolls of quick clot, roll gauze, trauma shears to quickly remove clothing, one of the small folded up type reflective survival blankets and a few 5x9s. On a larger kit I would include oral and nasal airways, some larger gauze pads and a manual means to suction an airway. Remember protecting the airway and stopping massive hemorrhage are key.

Good information. Was just wondering your thoughts on the supplies in the link that correlate with your suggestions. Do they seem good?

They seem to be. I would look here before pulling the trigger Medical Kits | North American Rescue

 

[togmaster]

What would you include in your pack?

If you don't know what you need I would really suggest getting some training. You can have all the gear money can buy but if you don't know how to use it it will be useless.

What a great company. Was on the phone getting help from one of the sales directors who was SWAT previously. We had a thorough conversation and he helped me pick the best items for my situation. Even gave me a professional discount which was his idea, not mine. Highly recommend them. Also recommended I look for a Stop The Bleed course near me which I will take when one becomes available. Wound up with this kit in the combat gauze version coyote (Less expensive than multicam) M-FAK Mini First Aid Kit, an additional tourniquet C-A-T Elastic TQ Holders and sheers (larger size) NAR Trauma Shears.

In the mean time if you want, especially while waiting for a stop the bleed class

Also they sell training CATs as well


Also for the cat

BTW don’t use a good TQ for practice remember they are designed for single use!!

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

Is vest color strictly personal preference or is there a particular reason why someone would want one color over the other? For example, black over ranger green or coyote.

I mostly have coyote brown stuff. I figured since we live here it's brown at least 4-6 months a year and it can still blend into a wooded environment it's a decent color for our climate/environment.

I really wish ranger green was more widely available. That's really growing on me. I think that will be the next color I start to buy.

I still also like good ol' woodland and multicam. Also nice choices. Can't go wrong there.

 

[TEOTWAWKI inc.]

Deep dark blue would probably be safe in Ulster

And I wouldn't worry about the weight in Ulster either... Someone else will have to carry it for you

Yeah, I see practice ones available.

Got the set today. Seems very well made and good quality.

 

[Vapor]

I'm starting to think about a low profile carrier that can be worn under a heavy coat.

Or really good camo.


For the med kit, how about a nasal airway? I think mine has one.

I think I have celex over quick clot too.
