STOP THE BLEED: Have a Trauma Kit Following the terrorist attack in New Orleans there is about to be a lot of discussion over the next few days about the importance of everyday citizens being prepared for emergencies. One of the easiest ways to be prepared is to have a STOP THE BLEED trauma kit in your vehicles and at your house! Experts say that approximately 40% of trauma-related deaths worldwide are due to bleeding. Below is the STOP THE BLEED trauma kit we have at home and in our vehicles. We also take it on the boat, in the woods, and in other situations where being prepared for an emergency could mean the difference between life and death. This trauma kit comes with a tourniquet, gauze, trauma sheers, nitrile gloves, and an Israeli pressure bandage. You can buy a trauma kit just like this or make one yourself. Just be sure you know how to use it when you need it!
