    Trauma bag any good?

    I would say it should be fine for your use, Thought there are some others on more reputable sites than ebay for a bout the same price and probably more reliable.

    New guy here, lookin' for some advice.

    It also helps to get tips from people in the field, Be careful though many ems providers with expirience do things much different than what the class teaches so be careful, But also use the other suggestions, all prep will help!

    Grille/dash/deck lights

    Sometimes the more expensive ones make a difference, but for a really good one is like $50+. and if nobody else uses your rig after you you could leave it in
