One thing not on that list which should probably be at the top is Quikclot. In a true emergency situation, hospitals will be overwhelmed and you will probably need to perform your own triage.

A bad bleed which is easily treated now could easily lead to death then. IMO, not enough thought is given to medical supplies. One could have a years worth of food and water, but if they get a bad cut, it could be game over.

Food for thought.

....absolutely....when I see my primary care physician next week I want to have a serious talk with him about getting some anti-biotics....for everything from an infected tooth to gunshot woulds...I think my doc will help me on this....he just ordered 3000 rounds of .45acp; so he’s thinking ahead too.
