Medical Kit

[chuckman]

I don't know what your medical background is, so if you're not in the field I suggest a BLS/ACLS/ATLS course. Perhaps some Tac Med training as well. An EMT basic course? Wilderness medicine course ? A myriad of training /educational options exist.

ACLS is overkill unless you are a paramedic or work in a hospital. ATLS is a physician/mid-level-only course (non-providers can audit it), and essentially little value to out-of-hospital medical care. First responder or even basic first aid with Stop The Bleed is the sweet spot, good for everyone. Unless one is on a tac team, tac med does not offer any advantages that Stop The Bleed won't cover.

I am all for training, training, and more training, but just like gear and guns, mission drives the training and the gear: what is the purpose, and what can I (legally) do? (relative to the cert/license/training)
