I built a trauma kit for my truck after watching a drugged up guy in a brodozer run over the front of a small suv smashing the dash into the legs of the passenger. It was right in front of a hospital and a first responder was gloving up and climbing in the driver side as I was trying to use a old towel I had grabbed from my truck to stop an arterial bleed. She didn’t have anything with her and the towel was it until EMTs arrived. I was involved with scouts at that time and decided I needed to be better prepared for a trauma type situation.


I got a small tactical pouch and added:

1x CAT tourniquet
2x Israeli compression bandage
1x Halo chest seal
2x 5x5 gauze
2x packing gauze
2x gauze wrap
2x sets nitrile gloves
1x Coban wrap
1x emt shears


This separate from a basic IFAK also kept in the truck.

This is really impressive and I’m going to copy you. I was a witness to a horrible  crash that became the subject of a major lawsuit a few years later and the first person to arrive and render aid to the victims (one died, the other probably wishes they had). As I ran up to the truck, empty handed, I realized that I had no plan and nothing to offer other than a limited capacity to keep the area clear until actual help arrived. I don’t want to be in that situation again.

Was there ever an oem 16.5” threaded tapered 10/22 barrel that DID have dovetails for sights? Or a reasonably priced aftermarket one?

High probability someone like Midway has them in a replacement barrel option.
