[11 / 3 / ?]
Was just changing a wound dressing at home, couldn't find medical tape, used some electrical tape and as long as I make sure it's loose over the wound wow this seems pretty waterproof. What's in your medkit? /k/ommando milsurp usually includes trauma shit like airway needles that probably aren't needed. I don't /out/ much yet, I'm getting my gear together for that now. I do a lot of active shit in urbanland and get injured a lot; this is everything I can think of that I use to repair damage and keep going.
>generic sterile gauze
>sterile nonstick gauze pads for dressing
>hemostatic gauze
>alcohol wipes
>sterile sealed gloves
>cloth self-sticking tape (recently discovered how useful this shit is though can do without)
>small fine tweezers
>topical antibacterial
>bentadine
>sam splint
>hydrogel/hydrocolloid dressing for blisters or wound with high exude
>tegaderm/occlusive dressing because it's the best, especially once exude has slowed
>sharpie for notes
Drugs:
>ibuprofen, acetaminophen
>asprin I guess in case heart shits out (have had a few accute tachycardia attacks lately)
>electrolyte tablets
>antihistamine, probably Benadryl as it's more fast acting for a dangerous reaction vs ceterizine et al which are more for longer term allergies (take one daily with my prescriptions b/c allergies)
>Epinephrine if I can get my hands on it
>antibiotics, presumably from compatible farm animals or sketchy pharmacies
>ketamine
Standard other camping supplies that will be useful:
>duct tape
>multi-tool
>knife
>water treatment chemicals
>cook gear for sterilizing water and tools
>needle and thread
I could see where a scalpel and syringe would come in handy, though multitool scissors and a sharp knife can get scalpel work done acceptably, if not roughly. Syringe for irrigation mostly. EMT scissors I've never needed when multitool or a good knife is handy, taking care with the latter. This could all be packed pretty compact with mini versions of stuff.
