First Aid Kit for Stalkers?

[ShootyBang]

Sorry to hijack but what are people’s views on the clotting agent as I must get something along those lines and I’m a haemophiliac and would like to be prepared

Cheers scott

Mate this is not a hijack at all. Clotting agents are great, and I have a packet in my range-kit. Since you're a haemophiliac, I would suggest you have one when you're out stalking, as well as a CAT and an FFD--a cut for me which might be serious, for you would be life-threatening. Keep these in your hip pocket.

So yeah, I'm keen on celox. The two problems are its expense and that it has an expiry date. You'll have to buy new packets every now and then.

I wonder what folk would be willing to pay for one, when they are laying on the ground and haemorrhaging arterial blood?

I also have just placed an order with Nathan @Rocky Peak Outdoors. Couple of queries that were all dealt with very quickly. Happily recommend and deal with again.

Always (and often only) first aid would be a silver reflex tape roll. To close open wounds and the reflex will help finding you ... 20-30 pounds, or

I ordered a rocky peak one with discount as discussed earlier in the thread …. The quality pack comes in retails for Circa£50 on its own ! In other places and the medical stuff etc very handy
Thank you

I carry an Israeli bandage in my kit, very quick and easy to apply for pressure. A potential life saver for bleeding wounds. A tampon is also a cheap penetrative wound plugger, great if you shoot yourself in the foot. Just don't do what I did when an upturned knife in the dishwasher opened up my finger the night before a big ski tour. All I could find to hand was a horse suture kit and I'd consumed two bottles of red wine. Plus as it was on my right hand I had to stitch it one handed with my left and I am not left handed Didn't do bad job, it held together for the ski tour and now you can hardly see the scar.

I put one together based on the most likely scenario which is a bad cut. Therefore ambulance pads, tape, plasters etc. If you want to carry more absolutely fine. I spent years in a busy MR team and I think my biggest take home would be training, experience and knowing what to do when sh1t hits the fan. A roll of duct tape has many uses…. Calling for help and evacuation to a hospital is priority. Anything to help stop a bleed (celox as a last resort if it’s catastrophic) a bonus.

I keep a fairly comprehensive kit, but it’s more for the dog than myself. Not saying it can’t happen, but I’ve yet to be present during hunting/stalking for any serious human injury. I have however had multiple events with the dogs requiring attention.

I’m fortunate the wife is a medical professional and I often stock/restock with opened or expired human medical items that work for man or beast.

I’d really like a personal AED defibrillator type thing in my truck if anyone has any recommendations?

Would be interesting to get a true analysis of stalking injuries. Minor cuts I'm guessing are probably most common with knife work. The one I wonder on is lower leg injury on rough ground under load. Given that would often have folk imobilised and with limited layers in winter stuck on the hill, I've yet to hear anything on hypothermia.
