This is a work in progress. Ive been researching this concept for a while, trying to make use of what I have on hand.I’m trying to make up two separate kits. One to have in my backpack that is more advanced than my boo boo kit. Although I carry an IFAK along with my AMK boo boo kit. Ill be basing this kit on an AMK 0.9 pro. Larger storage bag and splint.

The second kit which this article is more about. I was going through my Remote First Responder kit listed at bottom of the page and making something to complement it.By this i mean there is nothing in the remote kit to address advanced airway and bleeding control.No tourniquets or pressure bandages and no BVM and no diagnostic tools.

So I’m making up the following kit to use in conjunction with the remote kit as a supplemental kit. I’m repurposing my 511 Tactical Rush 24 from my GHB. The material used in construction and all the pouches are too heavy to use for that purpose but I think great for this project.

This kit is more to address several scenarios. Vehicle accidents in the bush, chainsaw cuts,most of the training courses Ive been on had no pressure bandages. What got me thinking about this kit to begin with was when I was an active member of a pistol club. They had a basic workplace first aid kit nothing to address severe gun shot wounds, no designated first aider and half the kit was emptied. I always had my IFAK on hand but i really wanted something to treat multiple injuries or multiple patients, to be able to stabilize and evac. An absolute shitshow waiting to happen.

Which brings me to micro or pocket BVM,s.( Bag Valve Mask). The last time i completed my CPR recertification, I managed 3 minutes in order to pass and then almost passed out. I have 65% lung capacity. funnily enough most people werent that much further behind me. In a remote or wilderness setting how many people can in reality perform CPR for over 30 minutes. A pocket or collapsible BVM extends how long i can provide assistance or other members of a group can over an extended period.

The other thing I noticed that on every remote or wilderness course they teach to use a BP cuff and take pulse. Ive never seen a BP cuff in a kit. So I wanted some where i could carry my diagnosis kit for checking vital signs.

One inch tubular I may have to do an article on this by itself. I have 50 meters folded in half, tied with a reinforced water knot and daisy chained with a crab (carabiner). This can be used as a drag system when you cant lift a person and they have to be removed from a dangerous situation in a hurry, harness, pulley system,lowering device. Awesome stuff to carry Ron Hood put me onto this years ago.

Which brings me to evacs. A lot of places Ive been an ambulance can get to within 500 meters and there’s no chance of getting their wheeled beds in much further so a fold-able litter such as a NAR Quiklitter lite can be indespensible.

This kit is designed to have a bleeder, burns, breaks and sprains, bites and stings, airway ,hypothermia management treatment sections for rapid deployment.. Based around Joshua Enyarts design.

Several things to mention. I’m not carrying this kit vary far from a vehicle or it would be lighter and I have more items in there for multiple causalities.
