You think a gun is the most important thing to bring to a gun fight? Well yeah it is a gun fight, but what happens afterwards could really make the difference between life and death.
The WLS IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit) will help you deal with the trauma for almost any situation. You don’t have to be TCCC certified like Shawn to be prepared for the worst. (lol)
The WLS IFAK Contains supplies that will help you deal with Massive Hemorrhage, Airway and Hypothermia Prevention. Using the WLS IFAK will help you in medical situations following a recreational, tactical or disaster response to increase survivability in a pre-hospital situation.
Build out a personal Trauma kit that is small enough to fit on your pack but big enough to save a life.
*Owning a WLS IFAK does not mitigate the need for training, but makes you as close to a doctor as you can become without going to med school as much as eating a donut makes you a cop.
Base kit includes Tear-away pouch, shears, gloves, blanket, tape and patch.

The C-A-T utilizes a durable windlass system with a free-moving internal band providing true circumferential pressure to the extremity. Once adequately tightened, bleeding will cease and the windlass is locked into place. A Hook and Loop strap is then applied, securing the windlass to maintain pressure during casualty evacuation. The C-A-T’s unique dual securing system avoids the use of screws and clips which can become difficult to operate under survival stress or where fine motor skills are compromised.
