Who We Are
Integrity– We won’t cut corners or sell substandard equipment.
Duty– It is our duty and responsibility to care for those with and around us, either with products or training or both.
A note of caution, repeatedly taking the insert in and out of the pouch can eventually lead to friction and rubbing on some of the higher points on the insert which could lead to a loss of the seal. Once the insert is placed in the pouch, leave it in place unless it’s needed or if the kit contents expire.
Also, inspecting the kit every quarter is a good practice to have. Something important to remember is that even if the kit loses its seal, the components are still packaged in their original packaging and are still protected from the elements.
Note: customer is responsible for shipping fees.
Preparation is the key to survival.
We ship via USPS and UPS and you will receive a shipping notification via email upon shipping.
That same principle applies to those who purchase a med kit. We shouldn’t even begin to approach the range or other daily activities without having it and knowing how to use it.
If you buy a first aid kit, get the proper training and learn how to utilize the kit to it’s fullest extent. Familiarize yourself with the products contained in the kit, learn what they do and how to best deploy them. If your kit comes with a tourniquet, buy an extra and learn how to stow it so that it’s readily accessible and learn how to apply it on every limb with your dominant and non-dominant hands. Apply it on your loved ones and have them apply it to you.
We want to give you a kit with the best components. We want it packaged in a simple, easy to carry, easy to deploy package/layout. When you have to deploy our kit, we want only what needs to be in the kit to save a life. In a “time-is-life” situation, we want to put the odds in your favor.
What’s the difference between QuikClot and ChitoGauze?
The hemostatic gauze we utilize in our kits have two different compounds; Chitosan (ChitoGauze) and Kaolin (QuikClot Combat Gauze and Bleeding Control Dressing). The QuikClot helps with the body's own clotting capability to assist in forming a clot while the Chitosan acts completely independent of the body’s “clotting cascade” and the gauze helps with the compression. The QuikClot has absolutely no heat at all associated with it and won’t burn, while the Chitosan breaks down into glucosamine and causes no issues with folks who are allergic to shellfish, iodine or CT dye as the proteins (what we’re allergic to) are absent. It also works well with artificially “thinned” blood.
