JULY TACTICAL FIRST AID KIT & COURSE

Extreme Med Course 1*

First Aid training is one of those things that you’d rather have and not need, than need and not have. And let’s be honest, we’ve all needed a bit of first aid at one point – papercuts at the office, splinters in the woods, let’s not even get into injuries sustained during extracurricular activities – point is, we know how to deal with all of those. But what happens when real aid is needed? When something goes seriously wrong and you’re a long way from help? That’s where this experience comes in.

The Extreme Med Course 1 Course is not your average first aid training. It covers all the same stuff as a basic course and then takes it much, much further. And the course includes a perfectly curated medical kit for all situations that’s packed into a compact utility pouch.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Scene safety (both from a tactical and civilian perspective).
  • Working under fire.
  • Finding ballistic cover.
  • Determining order of priority.
  • Assessing a scene (gas leaks, car accidents, road safety)
• Wound treatment.
  • Tourniquet application.
  • CAT bleeds.
  • Splinting broken bones.
  • Cuts, impalements, punctures, lacerations, burns, etc.
• Consciousness check.
• Blood flow check (everything’s going where it’s supposed to go).
• Airway check (is air coming in and going out) and the Heimlich manoeuvre (this includes basic CPR and treating choking).
• Recovery position.
• Follow-up actions and next steps.

Your First Aid Kit includes:

• Tourniquet
• SWAT (stretch, wrap and tuck) band
• Chest seal
• Compression Bandage
• Small field dressing
• Small gauze
• Patch strips (plasters)
• Anti-abrasion plaster
• Small Burn shield
• Emergency Blanket
• Scissors
• Gloves
• Mouth protector
• Alcohol swabs
• Tweezers
• Dettol
• Lighter or matches
• Water purification
• Permanent Marker
• Olight I3T 180 Lumens
• Drip Drop (1 x sachet)

Course will take place on Saturday July 31 at Just Like Papa from 10am -12.30am
