TBH, this can all be had for cheaper but these do look like decent quality kits, for those balling on a budget/want more bang for your buck - all this stuff can be had cheaper elsewhere as well but consider:

Tourniquet $18.99 set of two, one for your 'kit' one for your car. since people believe these can break here is the rate and proven North American Rescue.


Triangular bandage 12ct. for $6.99, can be used as sling, TQ, bleeding control etc.


Combine Pads and Tape set of 20ct. for $12.99

Total: $38.97 and it will go farther for longer.

Use the plastic bag from the triangular bandage/cravat packaging as an occlusive dressing or the 'tin foil' of the Vaseline bandage packaging but I've never actually used a Vaseline bandage, just the packaging for them. Buy these things for less than the skinnymedic has them for and get more - but you're right about one thing get training, know how to use an occlusive dressing and whether you want to tape 3 sides of it or all 4 and the issues with both, how to actually apply a TQ and when, general bleeding control etc.

EDIT

Since people seem to believe that C.A.T.s are unbreakable and that an alternative wouldn't work here is a Recon Medical for $15.97 a North American Rescue for $28.15. All equipment can fail but if you dont want to trust something that hasnt been reported to brake both of these are excellent options. - If you disagree lets have a conversation about it.
