..... mmmm-ok, so...... do you wear that out, and drive around looking for emergencies?

(sorry, maybe I'm ignorant. I do have a full trauma kit that I keep in my truck.... but, just not seeing the point of a vest setup)

Still need a radio, 8x12 tarp, 7 day food supply, 4 person surgical supplies, Jumbo D O2 cylinder, compression tester, cylinder hone set, knife sharpener, and fondue set.

I think that you're either Breaking Guild Rules, or trying to put these guys out of business:

I applaud preparedness, but how often do you find yourself in need of anything beyond duct tape and gauze?

Now, that said, where's the Narcan, EpiPen, Benadryl, Tylenon, Motrin and aspirin? Oh, and a bottle of water to chug above?

I mean if you are going to go that far might as well get your sterile saline bottle, maybe a few bags of saline for IV fluid, some IV start kits, decompression needles, maybe a third hand cardiac monitor?

Holy shit, how did I not know I needed a fondue set in my kit?

 

[Dennis in MA]

This is my trauma vest. My mom made me wear it in 4th grade.

Soooo much trauma. I'm off to drink a bottle of Jack and shelter in place.

I can see the beatings in my mind's eye. Ouch.

And toilet paper!

Over or under?

 

[Cap'n Mike]

When I was a Army Combat Medic I had all that stuff in an aid bag.
I can see how having it all easily accessible in a vest could be useful if I was providing medical support in a live fire training environment but not actually participating in the training.

Well of course! This is Wal-Mart, not Goodwill!

If this vest is in lieu of a bag or backpack, then it’s actually not a bad idea. I can see folding it up and keeping it in your truck, unraveling it and getting easy access to everything as useful.

I’m gonna give OP the benefit of the doubt that it’s not something you wear out and about like I wear my CCW sash everywhere I go.

The comments are pretty funny in this thread, though. F-ing fondue set

 

[MGnoob]

Either of these would be more practical.... I have the rescue essentials one , it came with stuff.. tourniquet is good and I added a chest seal and decomposition needs..

 

[McReef]

Creative idea. If it is conveniently stowable, and easily/quickly donnable then I could see it I guess.

The one item that seems a bit extrameous (to me) is the finger splint. A finger splint level injury strikes me as more of a boo-boo than a trauma situation. Maybe swap that out for an eye injury kit, or some basic meds like benadryl or asprin that could help in am emergency?

I have to admit, there are some funny comments in here, but truth be told, if you know how to use the sh!t, IDGAF if you put it all in a clown suit, I respect you at least trying to be prepared. Hell, even if you don’t know how to use it, maybe someone more knowledgable around you can make good use of the supplies in an emergency (though a vest might not be best in that situation...).

I doubt even 10% of people have so much as a bandaid in their vehicle, and probably not much more than a box of thosr at home. Keep it up.

Muzzle protector, like on a M1.

 

[GaryO]

Does your CCW sash fit over it?
