First Aid Kit Essential Equipment

A basic first aid kit is a very useful item to keep in your range bag, vehicle, home, or EDC bag. I bought an assortment of small first aid bags and have them stashed in all of those places. Just like a conceal carry pistol, it's better to have a first aid kit and not need it, than need it and not have it.

A first aid kit is no substitution for actual first aid training.

If you have not taken some first aid classes, or it has been a while, find a local first aid basics class and take one. The Red Cross offers many first aid classes that are an excellent crash course in basic first aid skills.

I don't consider myself a competition shooter - I think of myself as a performance pistol shooter. I am all about performing at as high of a level as possible. Towards that end, I am obsessive about learning how to perform. I spend a lot of my life learning from the best across the entire firearms world and even into other areas of performance and other sports. I am a USPSA Carry Optics Grandmaster, currently working towards my second GM title in the Open division.
