“How about tampons? Excellent to use for gun shot wounds.”
yeah I heard the little OB ones are the best??
To All: Is there a survivalist ping list? If so, please add my name!
make sure they are unscented. Allergies and irritations.
Make sure they are maxi or maximum overnights. Soaks the most.
If you can afford Quicklot then you can put that in a large wound, cover with maxipad and then a compression style bandage.
Here is the set up I have
1 large Quickclot
1 small quicklot
4 overnight maxipad
2 x 4” gauze bandage roll
2 pair nalprene glove powderless
burn kit
2 x 4” Nexcare wound dressing
2 x 4” J&J UltraHeal Multi-Day Pads, ultra absorbent, pressure bandage
2 x N95 mask
3 feet med tape
3 feet med duct tape for chest wound
Placed into one pint bag, Pressed all flat, place that into food saver bag and sucked all the air out,
The inner bag is a double zip bag and when compressed the whole thing is about 6 x 6 inches.
Once opened the outer bag can be used for gaping chest wound with 3 sides taped down using the duct tape.
I have 5 of these packages and they fit almost anywhere and I have a regular First aid kit in the car, in my office, in my home, in my friends home and an extra one laying around.
