I won’t know until the new duty schedule is released the first week of January.

Tactical_Bacon deff knows more on the medical side than myself. I could deff function as an assistant instructor for
him but would in no way want to teach him.

Just saw the thread and would like to go, but it is my wife's Birthday and I don't think it will fly.

Keep me on the list. I am up for hiking, shooting, radios, med training, mountain biking ...

Wow, glad to see this happening! Guess I should check the HTF more than once every few months.

I won't make the Greeley meetup because my kid has a hockey game in Monument that day, but interested in future meetups. I've got a Baofeng I should learn how to use and would also be interested in learning reloading.

Former EMT/FF, Franktown area. I shoot out at Ben Lomond Gun Club and I can take guests for free if anybody is in the area.

UPDATE

I REALLY, really hate to do this.

But times got hard this week. I've been unemployed for a month and money dried up fast. Started a new job but I wont be paid for two more weeks. I thought I could power through and be there for you guys. But I just hit my final straw.

My car is destroyed. A watermelon-sized rock rolled into the road while I was going 70 mph and I couldn't avoid it. It sheared off the oil pan bolt, gouged a chunk out of my transmission, tore off the undercarriage plate, punched a hole in my catalytic converter, and bent the everloving shit out of a cross brace.

My car is puking oil and doesnt drive straight. I have a mechanic appointment Saturday, which is the soonest I can get it in around my work schedule.

I'm using the family truck but it guzzles gas, so no extra driving due to cost.

So I cant make it

@BEAST556
@PainKillaX
@mjb

Sorry guys. There were some medic guys who were going, they can probably share more than I could anyways. I'll PM them.

I still encourage meeting, and am embarrassed that this happened and I just cant make it.

Sorry all. It's been a rough day

No worries brother. You take care of you first. We will sort it out.
...............................................................................................

With that being said, I am on call but plan on going and bringing the wife along. I will bring some gear with me to share. We can hold off on the med supplies thing until you can get on your feet @pestilence12
If anyone has more medical experience than me, feel free to take over, but I will volunteer to run shit for this gathering unless I'm stuck on an emergency.

Life happens, don't sweat it!

If a handful of other people are still game to go, I'll be there. Worst case scenario--none of us know anything useful, we cut out early for a beer or two, and know each other better for the next.

That's awesome man thank you.

These are the kits I was going to supply:

Attachment Attached File


I cant recommend them enough. I've used them, they're excellent. They're about 30 on Amazon after shipping.

This is the kit I think most would be interested in that I was going to show (I have 4 others in varying sizes and ingredients)

Attachment Attached File


And what's inside:

Attachment Attached File


Not all this comes in the basic kit. But the biggies are in there.

Kit list: 1 tourniquet; 1 Israeli bandage; 2 hyfin vents; 1 shear; 1 sharpie; 2 pair gloves; 1 blood stop bandage; 1 ABD pad; 2 ammonia pads; 1 roll tape; 1 pack burn gel; 4 antiseptic wipes; 1 triangle bandage; 5 butterfly strips; 5 bandaids; 4 gauze pads; 1 extra absorbant 4x4 pad

Feel free to ask questions. Or if you want to see the others (small, medium trauma, large trauma, blow out bag, or medics bag) let me know.

Again, sorry guys.

ETA I would argue that gloves are right up there among the most important thing to have. What good is helping some poor shot bastard if he gives you the HIV after? Always put gloves in any med kit.

Also avoid the black gloves. They're cool looking and super ninja tactical, but if you're feeling around for blood on an exit wound, it's hard to tell blood from other fluids on them (red on black is impossible to distinguish). Use nerdy blue or purple.

Where are you located?  I can provide transport if needed.  Or I can pitch in for gas for your family truck.

No problems man, priorities first. I'm still game for the meet either way.

Hope you get everything taken care of.

I also realized last night that I can purchase an ifak with my hsa on amazon so I'll probably go that route.

I wasnt able to order the kits I'm sorry guys. I'll do better once life settles down a bit and I can get paychecks in again.

These were the kits I was going to provide.

Great value and excellent quality. Comes with the bare minimum basics for trauma. See my post above for more ingredients.

I can be there, although Beast556 had a great idea.  Maybe we could make it a range day, too, after the meet?  Or maybe a range day Sunday?

Although,  I'll probably bring some gear with me just in case

I may have to bow out, was really looking forward to the med training. Have some new kits (NAR and Adv Medical) that I was going to bring.

I have to be up there the following weekend for a volleyball tournament, so if you try to move it, I'll come up then (1/25).
