Tactical Medical Solutions Olaes Modular Bandage and SOF Tactical Tourniquet

Serious Tools For Serious Times

Tactical Medical Solutions is a producer of quality emergency medical equipment that is purpose designed for military, law enforcement, and wilderness applications.  This comes as no surprise as the CEO, and the Director of Research and Development, are both former Special Forces Medical Sergeants (18D) with combat experience.  They have designed and produced a wide range of medical and rescue equipment that is based on real world experience.   Like all medical equipment, theirs is meant to be used by people who have received a certain level of training and can utilize them proficiently.  In other words… “Don’t try this at home.  We are highly trained professionals.”  The interesting thing about Tactical Medical Solutions is that they offer free training videos on their web site.   This, in my opinion, is probably just as valuable as the product itself.

A 3-in-1 Hybrid Survival Kit by Adventure Medical Kits

For those of us that love to get outside and head to the wilderness, there will come a time when we find ourselves facing a few problems.  A simple day hike is often the most dangerous.  Our female adventurers may get lost, the men among us will just get displaced, but either way, our simple hike may turn into an extended stay.  You can get lost, fall, turn an ankle or a myriad of other problems can face us every time we step outdoors.  One reason these short adventures cause problems is we seldom go out with all the equipment we would normally carry for a multi-day camping trip.

It was planning for these times that brought about the small PSK (pocket survival kit).  The concept was to carry a small kit on your person with the bare necessities to help you survive when these problems popped up.  There have been an untold number of articles written on these kits and how to put one together.  In fact, they have become so popular that several firms have started producing pre-packaged kits.  One of the best was designed by Doug Ritter of Equipped To Survive and marketed by Adventure Medical Kits.  To say that these kits were well received by the outdoor market would be an understatement.  Orders were good enough that Adventure Medical has started to expand their product line of pre-packaged kits.
