GreyGhost85 Report post Posted December 9, 2022 I took a class put on by my work called "dirt medicine” about 8 months ago and it changed things for me. It was a no-frills, nitty-gritty, class on how to basically keep people alive taught by ex special forces and military medics. Since then, i put together my own IFAK and carry one in my vehicle and one in my pack. I don’t know how many times i’ve cut myself bad while dressing an animal and had to just tie some cloth around it or something. I got cut really deep by a havalon this year and had my kit. It was a huge relief to know that i had the supplies to treat it. Lots of gauze, tape, chest seals, tourniquet, scissors and super glue is what i pack around. You could honestly put together a couple good ones for about $50 total. This is the outfit that taught the class. I’d seriously recommend it. https://www.independencetraining.com/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Highly recommended. They mentioned a free 2 hour condensed class every second Saturday of the month for anyone and their families. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
