No, silly, you wear them to prevent AIDS when sharing a needle with an IV drug user...
Why condoms, are snickers that unsanitary?

Who Are You? Do you identify as an ambulance?
I bought a shoot me first vest to use as a diaper bag. Was great to hold bottles, diapers, change of clothes, spare magazines, knife, extra pacifiers, wipes, ointment.
Only problem was it was so full I couldn’t get in my car with it on. First child.
Had to modify it and realize I did t need a whole box of diapers for a trip to the store.

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.
Good list you got there but... lose the vest and throw it all in a bag.I took a fly fishing vest an adapted for a trauma vest.I got it big so I can put it over a winter coat. What I have in it is.

Notice the OP's last item. I think a small spelling error happened as I'm pretty sure he meant to list a "Finger Tourniquet". Yes, "Finger Splint" might seem to be boo-boo item, but combined with a "Finger Tourniquet", you've got a pretty good combination for a digit injury. Not just for the range, but for accidents around the home.
Below is not a boo-boo by any stretch of the imagination. As a much wiser person than I says "Holy Shit, that's a lot of blood". Get that CAT tourniquet high and tight on the arm, apply finger tourniquet, raise the arm high, and get to a trauma center. Oh, and don't forget to pick up the piece of finger you just shot off, wrap in ice, and go.
While I've read some of the comments tongue in cheek, you gotta admit that having that vest at the range or at home being readily available is a good thing. Combine the items with some basic TCCC training and you should be way ahead of the game.
Hats off OP

My issue with the ankle Carry kit is it will get dirty and need the stuff replaced constantly.
My ankle carry CC piece get disgustings quickly.
One puddle or snow could contaminate it... maybe not the really well sealed items, it reminds me of the first aid bag at ranges.....full of moldy gauze... at that point I’d use a t shirt.
