Sky’s Off-Road Trauma Kit

I thought I would add to the list. I live in the middle of nowhere, Texas. In case of an emergency, I keep all sorts of supplies at the house. It could b e 20+ minutes before paramedics would arrive. This is my modified list that I made for off-roading in remote areas. Some if these items require an Rx or license to obtain. This will be my off-road bag for TRR.

1st remember that sterile supplies expire.* So this can be pricey if you have to replace unused equipment. I carry these supplies for off-road use/wilderness.**

The most important thing I can include is an AED. Altho, there is going to be an ambulance on site...I will be on the track. Here are the statistics and why everyone should have access to and know how to use and AED.

AED's can dramatically increase the chances of survival of many cardiac arrest victims.*
• Less than 8% of people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital survive. In many communities this can be because the time interval from activation of EMS to arrival of these medical personnel may be 7 to 8 minutes or longer.*
• Effective bystander CPR, provided immediately after sudden cardiac arrest, can double or triple (approximately 15 - 24%) a victim’s chance of survival.*
• Studies suggest that when AED's are used to deliver a shock within the first minute, that the patient's heart can be restarted and be beating on its own again before EMS arrives in as high as 90% of the cases.
