Trauma supplies are something you can't buy locally often so I'll make a list for a good blowout kit so you can order online if you want. We have maybe 2 weeks to a month at most before supply disruptions happen so now's the time to throw one together if you have already squared away food, bug out bag and rifle/mags/ammo. If you are wondering why I recommend basic first aid kit items in an ifak/blowout kit it's because it forces you to open it up a few times a year so you are familiar with it.
Basic compact kit:
NAR s fold guaze or H&H compressed guaze
CAT tourniquet or recon medical 3/4 gen tourniquet. The NAR version is genuine but the newest knockoffs from recon medical are arguably better.
Quickclot guaze
Nonstick guaze pads (2x3 and 3x4)
Duct tape folded into credit card size
Triple antibiotic, hydrocortisone, and burn gel packets.
Band-Aids of several sizes
Steri strips
Alcohol wipes
Suture needle with monofilament thread
Amoxicillin and Cipro antibiotics (thomaslabs fish antibiotics is a good source)
Acetaminophen/ibuprofen
Diphenhydramine
Anti diarrheal tablets
These items are a bare minimum, designed to take up no more space than a rifle mag pouch. All items are available online from either Amazon or medical supply store. They are designed to accommodate a 3x5 inch space (about the dimensions of a 20rnd rifle mag). None of these items require expertise to use. The tourniquet is stored separately away from the rest of the kit. For basic wounds use a nonstick pads and some triple antibiotic and secure with duct tape or medical tape. If small enough is a bandaid. Rashes get hydrocortisone. Burn gel is used to numb pain on the skin and for burns. Antibiotics are used for larger wounds. Tourniquet limbs which have bleeding that doesn't stop when pressure and guaze is applied. If not on a limb use quickclot (which can be used on limbs as well). Remember to write the time on tourniquets and release pressure slowly every 15-30 minutes to see if bleeding has stopped. Sutures are used for wounds that have stopped bleeding and need to be closed and can be removed after a week. Steristrips are used to close wounds that need more than a bandage but don't need sutures. Any deep wound would be a good time to administer moxifloxacin or easily available amoxicillin.
If you have a larger space for an ifak consider adding:
Trauma sheers
Extra compressed guaze
Oleas/Israeli bandage
Stretch bandage
Foreceps
Tweezers
Saline rinse
Celox granules
Hydration electrolytes
Space blanket
NPA
Decompression needle
Halo chest seal
And items to have in a large kit or at home:
The books "where there is no doctor", "where there is no dentist", and "emergency war surgery".
Dental tool kit
Tooth extraction foreceps
Temp dental repair/filling
Surgical kit
Sting eze numbing pen
Tons of guaze and nonstick pads
Petroleum jelly
Aspirin/acetaminophen/ibuprofen
Splints
Cold packs
Medical tape
Nasal spray (decongestant)
Mucinex
Cough suppressant
Colloidal/ionic silver solution
Zicam
Sambucol
Multivitamins
IV lock kit and saline bags (look on ebay or vet supply stores. Definitely do tons of research and education before attempting.)

Notes on Ungovernable Life
Every life that lives today is lived as governed. And yet, the lived experience of being governed, from our first to final breaths, suggests that while all lives may be governable to some degree, life itself cannot ultimately be governed once and for all.…
