Emergency First Aid

I couldn't agree more with your assessment of the kits available online. Your recommendations provide versatility and reliability in critical situations. The surgical tubing addition for slowing bleeding without resorting to a tourniquet is a smart inclusion as well.

Your expertise and practical advice shine through, and for those looking to build a trauma kit, it's worth considering Risen Medical's collection of pet first aid kits at https://risenmedical.com/collection/pet-first-aid. While designed for pets, some components could be adapted for human use, and it's always handy to have a backup.
 
I'm kind of in the same boat where I feel I could patch up my buddies reasonably well, but not sure how they would do with me. Especially if I was unconscious. I may be buying some of them quality first aid kits for Christmas. Something like the Altitude Sickness kits.

Couple weeks ago I slammed the front wheel of my dirt bike into the opposite side of a creek bank. Wasn't that high speed of a hit but it was perfectly lined up to where everything came to a sudden stop, and all the force went straight up my arms. Shattered the radius on my left arm and compressed everything so my arm got 2" shorter. Ulna didn't break, but it dislocated and poked 1" out the side of my wrist. Could have totally been an injury hitting something on a snowmobile too. Luckily help was close to get me out to the ambulance in a side by side, but both of them were freaking out and didn't know what to do with me. It's a weird feeling when you are in pain with a bone sticking out and you're the calmest one in the group. Unfortunately not the first emergency situation I've been around where people haven't known what to do either. So some good hands-on training private emergency dentist stoke on trent can be as important as having the gear.
Has anyone had experience with aerial recovery?
