I know a number of you heard the Bite Me podcast on Tuesday talking about the unfortunate accident that happened down in POC.  I received a list of items for a trauma kit from a member of the Border Patrol about a year ago and passing it along.

In addition to a regular first aid kit here are the minimal  recommended items:

Chest seal x2, Tourniquet x3 CAT-T x1 RATs, Compressed Gauze x2, Trauma Sheer x1, Elastic Bandage Roll, Gloves

Other items:

nasopharyngeal airway, Emergency Blanket, Blood clotting powder, Clotting gauze, Emergency laceration closures
