Boo-Boo kits...

[PanhandleGlocker]

I have been meaning to start a EDC bag that has a first aid kit in it.

Hell I have the bag already For EDC I just haven’t bought anything for it to turn it into my EDC bag and I really need to.

Yup, I keep one in each of our cars. Nothing but small first aid stuff.

Keep first aid/trauma kits in each vehicle. My backpack I take to and from work (and other travel) has a trauma kit also.

Anything else you can think of that I need, let's hear it.

Superglue
betadine wipes
alcohol wipes
couple exacto blades
some kind of forceps (with a little more ass than tweezers)
scissors
Athletic tape - roll some onto a pen or nail or something

Additional stuff in another bag in a vehicle...that can be an endless effort.

When I used to trek in the mountains, my med kit consisted of a tube of Superglue. I figured I could forage for other needs and take care of biological needs when I got back. It always seemed to work out OK.

Your results may vary.

used ducktape on many cuts and some likely needed stitches, but who has time for that. stretchy tapes is good too. I used to tape my toes with it during long ultra runs. great for anything. Ducktape, athletic tape, and the kinesotic tape

The guy who convinced me to carry a lighter was an OHP Trooper. He carried one because a buddy of his on the OHP got ambushed in the woods by a couple of bad guys that he was trailing on a cold night; they didn’t hill him outright, but his legs got broken in the process, and he died of exposure. If he’d had a way of making a fire, he probably would’ve survived the night and been rescued the next morning.

Since that day, he has carried some means of starting a fire, and I’ve carried one since he told me about it.

Most of the first aid stuff in kits that you buy is fluff and only necessary if you’re a few days out from civilization, or have a situation like your grandson did, but don’t carry the things that make a difference if you really need it. Kirlex and Coban for a pressure bandage, tourniquet for if the first two don’t work, and a chest seal.

You can get way more in the weeds than those things, but they’re the main difference maker on injuries that will kill you in minutes

I had a list of stuff that I deleted because most people either don't know how to use it or won't. A lot of folks think coban sang for Nirvana.
