You never know when the need arises and there are certainly more dangerous activities in our daily lives than one's weapons. I don't know this for a fact but I would guess driving is the most dangerous activity we encounter on a regular basis, not counting the dangerous jobs some have. I shutter to think my family be in an accident and could have been saved with a little training and a not-so-expensive kit.

I think I will look into getting all my family members trained, they are worth it! Thanks to all with their personal experiences and input. You may have saved some lives of not only family members but also others that may be in need. Good stuff.

I didn't think much about first aid kit in my range bag until one day at the range a guy next to me got hit in the abdomen with a ricochet 5.56.

He looks like he's about 20 in some of the videos, but he was a medic in the Sandbox, an EMT now back in civvies, and he's been doing it for about 15 years. He does videos on EMT stuff, prepping, and even guns and gear reviews. His subchannel dealing with trauma response is at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... ryTy5H5lUf.
