    I totally forgot about this thread soon after I last posted, but I'll get a new pic up asap. I have a Marz Combat Medic Pouch mounted on a TT Mini-MAV that I think will be a good fit for one of the roles I'm educating and training for.

    Ok, here it is:


    I tried loading it as something of an E&E kit, but felt like it got too heavy for its size, so I decided to see how much of a difference a load of med supplies would make. I don't have everything I want or need yet, and the current contents are subject to change, but so far I do have:

    In the loops -
    2, izzy dressings
    1, compressed gauze
    Tweezers
    Plastic sheeting (improvised chest seal)
    Triangular bandage
    4, tongue depressors
    Emergency blanket

    I (obviously) used the drawstring to dummy cord some med tape in.

    In the mesh pocket -
    Eletrolyte packet
    2, 3" x ? Gauze rolls
    10, 4" x 4" gauze pads
    A gauze compression sleeve I cant remember the name of
    SAM Splint
    10, bandaids
    2 doses, Immodium
    4 doses, 200 mg Motrin
    4 doses, 25 mg antihistamine

    I know, off the top of my head, that I need: exam gloves, an exam light, head lamp, shears, and at least 2 ea. in CAT's, NPA's, and Asherman or Hyfin chest seals, and chest decomp needles.

    Oh, and training. I think any additional certs I carry will only help in a couple years.

    Good start. Make sure the tweezers you carry will do what you want (they have to be sharp for splinter removal, for example). You can use the plastic wrapper from something as a chest seal, until you get a good one.

    Gloves are cheap, they don't have to be sterile. A flashlight and headlamp from other gear is fine. Dummy cord your shears or use a retractable lanyard.

    Thanks guys. Good point (amongst the others) on the tweezers, Fidel. I'll add upgrading them to my to-do list as I work through it all.

    Hey Fidel, when you say "good start" is there anything more you think I should have, or is it more because I don't have it finished yet? After some review I can see I also lack hemostatic agents, for which I'm thinking four Quikclot Combat Gauze, and a skin marker/ sharpie. Otherwise I feel like I pretty much have the basics covered.

    On the "sucking chest wound" we were trained to use something as simple as an ID/credit card, drivers license from their wallet. doubles for identifications as well. A little tape and it made a good seal..............oh and keep the short side open.
    Be safe.............the night is your friend.

    Pirates carried valid ID and credit cards!? I can see how one would help keep their booty safe, but I'd have never thought...

    More to the point, I'd have never thought to use a card like that to seal a chest wound. Thanks 'rat!
