    first aid in 14 words....air goes in and out, blood goes round and round...anything else is bad

    There are those who will die, no matter what you do. There are those who will live, no matter what you do...its the ones in the middle we help.

    Very basic kit for me on my belt. An FFD, various plasters, wound cleaning wipes, a roll of crepe bandage, tick removal gizmo and a small roll of Sniper tape. A more comprehensive commercial FAK lives in my Bergen.

    I have several FAK's i trained as a medic and have had to use things like quick clot, hemcon and CAT's but most of the time i carry a basic FAK with a couple of FFD's either in a pocket or in my pack, i always have one with me when i am using my chainsaw.

    I always carry a selection of band aids, steri-wipes, anti histamins and pain killers in my EDC kit.

    I also carry a Lifesystems Light & Dry Micro FAK in my EDC pack, with a few added things; compression bandage, painkillers, anti histamins, sterile gloves and a pair of EMT shears.

    I just took a 3 houser FAK course this evening - I had been wanting to do that for a while. Maria tagged along for company, though she already have the big 72 houer course + she is a certified fireman (she used to be sailor). I have litteratly seen her save a man's life (heavy artery bleeding).
