Survival Kits: Medical Kits

**HorrorHiro** · Jun 27th, 2012, 11:09 AM

I haven't seen this brought up on the forum yet, so I figured I would start it...

I know there's been discussion of the best weapon(s) for zombie survival but what about the best Medical supplies/kits?

I recently found out about the "wings of life" which I have heard some good things about.

What is your "medical kit"?

Basic first aid kit and a 30 day supply of meds commonly taken by the members ok the house

Trauma kit in a duffle; main grab, gauze, antibiotics, small I.V., shot pads, tape, morphine, pressure reader, tracheal & nasal tubes, neck brace, non-roll splints, pain killers, sterilizers, gloves, precautionary, sutures, tweezers, stitch kit, scalpels, tourniquets, shears, quick clot, breather bag

I recommend looking into these once you have a fully prepared kit. Quick easy access to compartments. also look into non-energy using tech. Like instead of a finger reader, a stethoscope. But i do recommend a high power single LED flashlight with at least 3 changes of batteries. Save space for everything, and use it. Use every available compartment and watch the weight (Ounces make pounds.).

you need specialized training to use most of this stuff. Frankly, I don't want some person with a kit and " goodwill " putting a tourniquet on me with no idea on how to use it and no access to advanced medical help insight ever. I'll opt to just bleed out lol which might be a better option than the gangrene that would set in when the tourniquet stays on to long cutting off the blood to a limb.
