    Advice on a good trauma / gun shot wound first aid kit?

    Do any of you have a good place to get a good first aid kit that has contents that can handle a gun shot wound?

    I need to get a good one for when I have my classes.

    The range should have their own, but I need to wait for the 5 feet of snow on the road to melt before I can get to that one to get a name etc.

    Even if the range has one, I want my own.

    It would need blood clotting pack; tourniquet; larger gauze, etc

    Like a trauma kit without the stethescope and blood pressure cuff and the non-essentials.

    Seems like everything I find on the web has a lot of equipment in it and not so much in bandages and useful items.

    I am assuming that you have the training already to use such things but the Dark Angel kit is really good.

    What level of medical training do you currently have?

    Are these classes that you are putting on or classes you are attending?

    Do you intend to be able to treat one wound or several?

    How long would it take for medical response?

    Nearest Hospital?

    Dark Angel is a good IFAK. I usually piece my kits together, however, it is also based on my skills and experience.

    Thanks folks.
    I will be offering Firearm Classes here.
    I honestly do not plan on doing more than having a decent one available.
    Having bandages and tape and such stuff is just smart.
    I really do not plan on taking any EMT's job or anything.
    But, if I have the needed supplies there, one of the students may have knowledge and the desire to use them if necessary.
    And there are many cuts, burns and other injuries possible at ranges that the injured themselves can attend to if there are supplies available.
    And with this first aid kit I liken it to the same scenario of having to use a firearm at the last minute.
    I say that because I think a person will only know if and definitely when to use either when that moment arrives.
    Again thanks for the input and I believe I have found enough info and will be able to choose what I need / want

    The gravel road leading off Black River Rd (in the U.P.) to my Gun Club that has 5 ft high plowed snowbanks along the main road and it was about 4 to 5 feet deep on the Club's road after drifting.

    We have had 2 days of 40 degree weather so those totals will be down to 4 feet in a month....or 2

    Anyways

    question asked and info gathered and answer found.
