Are you a veterinarian? That is a veterinarian model of stethoscope...

If you need to go to those lengths to ensure your deer is dead...


But on a more serious note I can't tell if you are joking, pretty sure vet scopes are the same as generic human scopes, just usually longer. No I'm not a vet or a doctor, I worked in organ transplant for a decade though so have a pretty good understanding, always possible I'm wrong though. Either way you don't need it in your bag.

Unless it comes in camo and weighs less than a pound.

Yea they're the same just longer and most vets use a human model. That model just has a diaphragm and not a bell cause when you listen to a horse you don't need a bell and you tuck the end way up under their elbow. I usually have a stethoscope with me anyways, but i don't think it's particularly useful in a trauma kit.

Are you a healthcare professional? I don't think that most of us on here have any business carrying around a stethoscope in the woods (meaning people reading your post shouldn't all go out and buy a littmann), but otherwise from what I can see it looks like a decent kit.

Edit: whoops quoted the wrong post that was meant for @Ckwilli

I’m a respiratory therapist of about 30 years. One of the RN’s and I put these kits together to keep with us in our vehicles etc. Most medical people I know carry Littmans. That one is an old one I’ve retired from using at work. I agree most people don’t need it but I took that pic as an example for a ditch medicine class a friend was teaching. The raptor shears usually stay on me at work that’s why you see two pairs of shears.

2 is 1, 1 is none.

Not unless lungs are your specialty and a pneumothorax is something you regularly check for. I carry this kit to shooting classes as well where the chances of a penetrating injury is a possibility. I guess I guess in the last 30 years I’ve just gotten use to having it with me most of the time.

I failed to mention I also carry a pack of Celox-A for severe bleeding . I know some would say damn they carry to much but I’d rather have it and not need it than to need it and not have it . I carry the same tourniquet posted above . Basically the same pack but without the stethoscope

My kit has a Celox bandage in it. I’ve started carrying a tube of this for my retriever on duck hunts but have found it works good on minor people injuries too.

Awesome, nice to have a person like you around at events and such! I learned a lot from RTs in my prior career.

I keep a kit in my hunting pack and one in my car. Basically just plussed up IFAKs I’m used to carrying with some extra tourniquets, combat gauze/quick clot, chest seals, and needle decompressions. I have more basic stuff in my car in addition to the trauma stuff for basic minor cuts and what not.
