Great ideas here. Ive been in the Fire Service for 19 years and a medic for 15 of them. Im in school now advancing my medic training but MAYBY down the road a class could be put on for the Texas CHLers here. I would be willing to be a part of the teatching. Im no expert either just have training.

Would def recommened getting trained on how to use a tourniquet properly. For the more serious people get( IV how to training). Gun shot wounds dont kill blood loss does. If u can stop the bleeding and keep the victim or yourself from getting hypovolemia (decreased blood volume) by increasing the blood volume with fluids you can by yourself alot of time until help arrives.

One quik easy tip get Iodine or Betadine for cleaning cuts or wounds. Alchohol pushes the germs away doesnt actually kill them. Iodine does kill germs.
