I made a change as of December 1. I now carry a trauma kit.
When I go to the range, I have taken a GSW kit with me...tossed it in the range bag/bucket, etc. I have taken that, added a few items to it and put it all in a backpack. Each pocket has a colored tab on it so I can easily open, or direct others to open, the right pocket. It is going with me every time I leave the house.
My entire 20s and early 30s, I carried a trauma kit in the car/truck but when we had kids, I decided that the cell phone call to CSP or 911 was a better option for me as my first responsibility is to my family. Now that the boys are in their early teens and can handle themselves, get out of harms way etc., that combined with a change in the times has me back to having the trauma kit near me 24/7, just like a firearm, light, knife and a cell phone.
