"I really don't wanna lose a limb :(

It may be better than losing my life but still isn't cool...

If you don't have a shellfish allergy try to score a Hemcon bandage. Arterial bleeding? Shove one in and hold for aprox up to 2 min if it works you wont be able to get if off, good news is its stopping the bleeding. Bad news your going to need surgery due to the fact you have a damaged femoral artery. cauterized or no you need a doctor!

Thanks, I'm downloading it now. It would be a good resource to put under the useful skills section.

We should start a new page, “Survival Manuals” and include this one…:D

This will be a decently heavy pac, probaly take a a huge portion of a backpac. But hey, be ready right? If your gonna travel on foot, keep a backpac with you, but id also sugest a wagon or wheelbarrel. A backpac cant hold that much sadly, and you have to be able to hold at least a couple days worth of food(which would take up a pac by itself). This pac is made for the works, at least for a basic medic. Gloves and scalpels seem about useless. I dont think many peopple know how to do heart surgeryXD. Those things will add up and put more pounds on your pac. This is stuff that will be used for colds, scratches and basic wounds. Also a note, do not drink water after the undead have hit unless its a life or death situation. If the virus dose spread through open wounds and such, it can also spread in the water. Only one has to find his way into the water and fall in, and the entire water is infected. Try to cary gallons of water(a gallon of water should last you a day or so). I dont know about you, but im not gonna fight through two weeks of zombie infection or something to have my death come from drinking a sip of water from a sink.

First off, you are wrong.

First Aid kits are not simply to delay death. Although, many of the small ones can only buy time, slightly larger ones can stabilize a person and keep them alive for as long as until thew wound heals over. A First Aid kit is the first line of defense. It usually can stop bleeding, dis-infect a wound, and keep the patient stable. That is all that is needed and time does the rest.

If someone is bleeding badly, all I need is a set of pressure bandages and some tape.

Now, I got a bit of medical knowledge (no official training or papers), and I know how to keep someone with a severed limb alive. I cannot save arms or legs, I cannot do miracles.

In a zombie world, it is best to keep someone alive for as long as possible until they heal or die anyways. Either way, a First Aid kit (with the right contents) will save a life. It is the first line of defense from any injury.
