About This Episode:

In this episode we talk about common mistakes people make with trauma gear and trauma training in a concealed carry context. We discuss what a basic trauma kit should include, why compact bleeding-control kits matter, and why proper items like pressure dressings, wound packing material, tourniquets, gloves, and chest seals are important.

We also cover the problem of relying on improvised substitutes instead of proper equipment and the need to match gear with training. We close by discussing the value of first aid, CPR, AED, Stop the Bleed, and more advanced trauma classes, along with deliberate practice so bleeding-control skills can be used under stress.

As always, any questions or suggestions for future episodes can be submitted to podcast@concealedcarry.com!
