Yeah, it looks really bulky, but it's really light weight. His intent when he made it was for it to be a buddy-assist kind of thing for LE, etc. who might be pinned down, or cut off from immediate help. I told him I'd like to see that same sized kit on a semi rigid panel that would fit in a man bag and could be pulled out of the bag quickly.

Probably not, but... If you're in-route in an ambulance, they can call ahead for the blood type needed. Also a MAG member might be able to save your life post-shtf if he happens to have your blood type, and the medic or MAG doc deems it necessary to have a transfusion.

On the ambulance at least in my area we do not call ahead with blood types. It's to risky for the hospitals to trust anything but the tests. Maybe if you have your shit squared away and the doc trusts you it may help getting it faster.
Now mag wise you should all know types just in case. I recommend writing it on your ifak or somewhere on your kit that's easily readable. You never know post shtf if you'll need blood. Everyone should know or have a way of finding out if the situation presents itself.

so how do you find out your blood type if you don't know ....give blood ??
Id recommend giving blood, thats how I found out. Otherwise ask your doctor and see if he/she can do something for you. Thats the only way I know of to find out.
Mine is A Pos, and that is reflected on my dog tags that are ALWAYS on me. And written on my boots. i do not have an A+ patch yet.
Does anyone here know if there is a bloodtyping test kit, even an experimental one, that can be used onsite/during transport? Seems to me to be a good piece of gear to have plenty of for the groups.
