Field Trauma Kits - Bako - 10-24-2022
With news about hunters being attacked by bears and the injuries associated, do any of you pack trauma kits with your hunting pack?

I'm partial to the NARescue Patrol Officer IFAKs. https://www.narescue.com/individual-patrol-officer-kit.html
Good to have in the car and and in the shooting bag (or the camping/backpacking bag). They have a professional discount, if eligible, and occasionally have sales like the "community first aid month" 15% sale or something similar. Good way to stock up on some basics.
The farther I move away from medicine, the less I carry, but being out alone with no access to support definitely makes me rethink what I bring.
