First aid/medic bags in your tacoma?

Hey I've got a medic bag for sale on here too, haha, just thought of that! It can be used for anything really... but its got the US medic logo on the front, OD green bag, pretty cool! Old school looking bag

I have my little emergency kit, has a small first aid kit, but I also have the kit from my 09 Infiniti when I traded it in, (hehehe) kept that... ALong with flashlights, a gerber set (collapsible shovel [etool for those in the know], yet another mag lite, gerber tool, folding saw, hatchet, some bandaids...) and some other stuff too, food, a couple MREs, blanket, clothing, etc... Ive always had the Zombie Apocalypse set up in every car, or at least stuff to get me over a bad night at some chicks house, sleeping in the car or whatever, haha

sub. i want to get/make one. mr brown thats a nice set up you got there! i may do something like that.

 

I keep a slightly larger than basic first aid kit with me.

 

Ill just keep myself in it. Its nice being a medic

 

wear did you get the 5.11 jacket? i need to get a jaket to keep in truck. i have a really light sweat shirt in there right now. (will swap for heavier in the winter) but need something for wind/rain.

 

I keep one under the passenger side front seat.

 

Couple questions and I don't mean to be a dick.

1. Are you a paramedic?

2. Why if someone was essentially a DOA did you work her for 40 minutes? First rule of trauma is you don't work trauma codes. Not worth it.

3. Do you live somehwere where it is mostly volunteer ff?

4. Why would you ever carry a cric kit?

 

what does "coded her" and "dont work trauma codes" mean?
sorry if its a dumb q... just like to know things!

But without the tools of the trade, you're not much more effective than someone who only has basic first aid knowledge.

 

Dead woman, did CPR on her.

 

Not true. I know when to stop and see if anyone needs help and when not to. I've been on too many scenes when there are way too many people saying they know first aid and giving their advice. Ill stop if its serious. But other then that I keep the blinders up and drive right past. Allow the professionals who are on duty do their job

 

ok thanks man! i know 5-11 is good stuff.

 

Got my bag like this today, its pretty sweet. Comes with a rain fly and a place to put your camelbak. I have nothing in it yet, I am going to fill it on Monday when I have access to supplies. Right now I am looking at putting:
12 triangulars
4 tongue depressers
gauze
compression bandages of various sizes
tape
band aids
scissors
2 baby asprin
at least 4 pairs of non sterile exam gloves
2 small ziplocs
2 large ziplocs
cpr mask
prep pads
survival blanket
cervical collar
jr cervical collar
pencil(not pen)
notepad/forms
little stuffed animal

I know I am missing something.

 

CLS bag "procured" from supply, 2-3 MRE's, 2Gallons of water, road flares and a full set of clothes, shoes, jacket, blanket, undergarment and a KBAR.

 

I carry two one advanced human first aid kit and one k-9 advanced kit which even has a small sterile kit of surgical tools. Lol though either one could be used on either human or animal with some exceptions of course.

Mine will most likely stay in the passangers seat for the winter as its also my ski patrol bag.

 

still available! who wants it???

usually has the CSPS crest on the front where the velcro cross is. I am not done filling my bag, we are still a ways from ski season so our "clinic" was missing some stuff. Yes that is a stuffed animal, kit also has Toy Story and Dora bandages as well as normal "adult" bandages. This pack is sweet it includes a rain cover, and a a place to add a hydropack.

 

To go alongside my first aid kit posted above as I continue my training I am also thinking of adding another Trauma bag to supplement what I already have. If anyone can help me make a list of stuff I should have that would be great. I can't copy the trauma bags we use at the mountain since they contain an Oxygen tank And stuff for the backboards like spyder straps and what not. I am thinking Cervical collars, splints, BVM, sphygmomanometer, set of OPAs. If anyone else could help to add on to the list it would be much appreciated.
