Yesterday's Stop The Bleed Day email generated more replies than I expected — and two questions came up over and over from students and subscribers.
Worth answering them here in case you were wondering the same thing.
Question 1: "What kit would you recommend as someone's first medkit purchase?"
The Mountain Man Medical Yellowstone.
It's as slimmed down as a trauma kit can get and still have at least one of everything you might actually need to stop traumatic bleeding: one tourniquet, one set of chest seals, one pressure bandage, and a slim pack of hemostatic gauze. Plus the basics — gloves, shears, an elastic wrap, and compressed gauze.
A perfect starting point, and the price is competitive even when it isn't on sale.

Question 2: "What kit would you recommend for the car, home, or office?"
The Wind River.
If you're thinking about a serious emergency where more than one person could be hurt — a wreck with passengers, a workplace incident, a multi-victim event — you need a deeper supply of gear than a personal carry kit provides.
The Wind River steps you up to three tourniquets, two pressure bandages, double the hemostatic gauze of the Yellowstone, two elastic wraps, a mylar blanket, a cravat, and a basic first aid layer for everything that isn't traumatic bleeding (cold packs, diphenhydramine, burn cream, and the rest).
That's the kit I'd stage in a vehicle, mount in a workplace, or keep at home where the whole family knows where it is.

P.S. The discount comes around once a year and it's gone after May 31. If you've been telling yourself "I'll get to it," nine days from now is when "I'll get to it" turns back into "next May."
