I am putting together a vehicle first aid kit, and I was wondering what first aid equipment you use the most. I have the basics covered (bandages, gauze, tourniquet, gloves, antiseptic), but I wanted to know if there is anything out of the ordinary that you have found to be useful. Thank you for your help.

I have an "Individual Patrol Officer Kit" in my active shooter / bail out bag.
You can find it online at North American Rescue
http://www.narescue.com/Individual_P...C=3C7457EA9AFA
It includes a combat tourniquet, trauma dressing, Quickclot, and gloves.
I've read several studies since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan started, stating that you have as much as a 65% increase of surviving a gsw if you can apply a tourniquet within minutes of being shot.
Of course it's not an everyday item, but it's definitely something you may want to have on hand.Last edited by Street_Cop50; 04-13-2011, 07:00 PM.Look sharp, act sharp, be sharp.

Blow out kits are crucial, but the most used would be bandaids (cartoon ones for kids), BC Powder, Neosporin, Immodium, pepto, Tweezers, a bottle of sterile saline.

small bottle of bourbon, granola bars, condoms, breath mints/mouthwash, a sharp knife, some rope and handcuffs, sanitizing lotion, a little cash, jumper cables, viagra, a bottle of water and a kerambit.
or I guess you could use the stuff in the first couple of posts"I don't go on "I'maworthlesscumdumpster.com" and post negative **** about cum dumpsters."

Be careful with tourniquets. You should not be throwing them on any wound unless you know what you're doing. I stock our kits mainly with bleeding control supplies and ambu bags (bag-valve mask). If it's a CPR or rescue breathing situation, the ambu will keep the officer from having to do any mouth-to-mouth breathing.I'm 10-8 like a shark in a sea of crime..
