I am in a situation, my military unit wants me to provide standard first responder care to events (like "fun runs") and the medical detachment is willing to give me whatever I need (within reason) to provide adequate treatment until the big guns (local ambulance service, the clinic doesn't have any real first response capabilities) arrive. Since I am not military medical person but an EMT, I guess I am the most qualified next to our Army CLS types.
I wanted to get opinions on the durability, size, and useability of the 5.11 2000 series bags. Hard cases are out of the question, especially since I could be ground pounding with it when traveling as a unit. Right now, I have a standard CLS bag I was issued when I was qualified by a previous unit. It doesn't hold all of the "fun run" stuff as well as it does for combat trauma supplies. I know everyone gets O2 but there is always the added weight and issues related to transporting it. Whats your thoughts on ditching the D? I am also open to other suggestions if you know of any similar bags.
Luckily tomorrows "fun run" is looking to be snowed out so I have some time to make a good decision.
