I'm a full-time paramedic, part-time nerd. - I carry gloves, a tourniquet, some 4x4 gauze pads, an occlusive dressing, band-aids, an ace bandage, shears, and tape. Any injury more serious than a boo-boo is going to require more advanced equipment- which I keep in my car at staging. And even then I'm basically just going to focus on stabilization and shock prevention until official EMS arrives, but not so much treatment. ( We live in a litigious society where people can and do sue first responders, professional and amateur alike. ) If it's a game that I expect to be far from staging for extended periods of time, I'll bring a bigger kit- but most on field injuries aren't going to require a TON of equipment. In 20+ years of playing airsoft, I've only seen a couple of serious injuries- and those were primarily broken bones and a handful of nasty lacerations. Everything you're carrying is fine, but don't fall prey to the airsofter habit of carrying everything but the kitchen sink. ( It's a temptation I have to resist regularly. )
Thank you very much for this detailed reply! I love to learn more about things I only know a little bit off. I tried to keep the package to a minimum and I should keep track of what I used. But I used a lot of the stuff in the kit already. Yes, I'm a bit clumsy. One thing I will remove are the steri strips. Didn't use them yet and in the case I needed them, it wouldn't work because of the sweaty skin. I also carry a bigger kit in my tent. To refill this one and for the more bigger injuries.
Gauze should also be used for packing if you have a major wound but you need an Israeli bandage to strap it into place after applying sufficient pressure
That's true. But that is in my Ifak kit. I carry 2 small medical kits. I'm working on the second kit and video to get it as good as it can be. Thanks for the info!
@@dwee44 I have that stuff in my bigger pack. I tried to keep the meds to a minimum in this one. But if you have a bad poo that day, you can just take some with you and put it in your personal pack. Suger stuff is in my nutrition pack, not my medical pack.
That is true. But I don't keep that in my medical pouch but in my nutrition pack. But maybe I have to add something sugary in this one, but because a lot of people say this.
Very good rundown :) I do carry too much medical so that my pouch is always in base or car. Good points in what to carry in person and will use your list as base trying to get an in person medical pouch :) Things I think I'll add are something I've needed in field: small pinset for pulling out tiny splinters (of course works for ticks aswell if needed) and a small makeup mirror in case you get something in your face or dirt in eye and is hard to get out. Mainly to get rid of those annoying splinters or the dirt out of eye without needing to go back to base for those :) And in addition I carry a medicine in case of poisonous snake bite (we got one poisonous snake in Finland) that persumably should work as first aid and should help also if anyone gets a strong reaction to wasp or bee sting.
I thought about bringing a pincet but I chose to bring a safety pin for splinters. It's quite expensive to put in a small kit. I have it in my big bag. A mirror I don't have in my big bag, but I will add it. It's good that you add stuff that is special for your country. This is a basic kit and some stuff is really country specific. Good info for when we go to Finland.
@@VerageAirsoft yeah specially the mirror could be surprisingly hard to come by in a forest when you'd need it :) I think a pair of pincet isn't that expensive 🤔 but yeah it's not totally necessary on the in person kit :)
Nice recap. As SaZm mentioned too, I would personally add a triangular bandage and tweezers. I assume you have a knife and scissors/trauma shears in your other gear when you also need it.
The triangular bandage was indeed one of the things I tought about adding to it but I left it out because it's one of the things you can easly create with the things you carry around. It's also a thing I never used or heard that someone used it. The knife and shears are indeed in my TCCC kit. There are a few people testing out this kit and they let me know what they use, so I can make a list of injuries that happened and if something was missing in the kit. Hopefully after a few months we have some nice results. Now that this one is done, I'm going to perfect my TCCC kit. There will also be a video about that but that might take a few months to get it just right.
@@VerageAirsoft I prefer a triangular bandage for fixing a broken arm or shoulder for example, way more easy to do with that than having to improvise with other items. Same for burn wounds, packing a hand or arm/leg with a wet triangular bandage is way easier. Looking forward to the TECC/TCCC kit. I have one for airsoft and real steel shooting. My guess is most are very similar: TQ (primary is aCAT TQ, but have a SWAT-T for my ankle EDC because it's more compact), packing gauze, bandage, gloves, rescue blanket, chest seals, shears.

Just added a few items to my medical kit thanks for the suggestions!
Happy to help. Can I ask what you added to yours?
@@VerageAirsoft Safety pin , pair of sterile gloves, and a thermal blanket.
@@atanasnikolov9634 Those are some important items indeed. :)
I have thermal blankets in every pack and rig because people forget that a lot.
6:28 My recommendation against blisters are normal sock and than wool or thicker socks over it.
Does that help if you have a blister or to make sure you don't get any?
@@VerageAirsoft to make sure that you don´t get one. or lower the chance
@@rexmcstiller4675 I heard that on the last event we went to. So it must be a good tip :P

I don't have all of that in my boo-boo kit but i should, thank you for the knowledge bomb !
Also i'd add stuff for when you get a bad poo and some sugar, it saved me many times ;)
You're very welcome. :)

Good list! Scotch tape also works for pulling splinters.
Ha, never heard about that. That's a good tip!
Some sugur or dextrose is a good thing if some on is undersugured.
That is true. But I don't keep that in my medical pouch but in my nutrition pack. But maybe I have to add something sugary in this one, but because a lot of people say this.
