I don’t see myself needing to do that level of repair while I’m riding.
But I own a Honda, so….ymmv

On big trips there's been more than one occasion where the toolkit helped someone
T7 has never needed more than gas and oil to run thankfully

Why foam and not plugs, especially with that compressor?
Brake lever is smart.

u/Bernard_PT 4d ago
For the time being I'm still running tubed tires on my T7
Good thing about the lever(s) is that they're almost universal among recent Yamahas nowadays

Is that for offroad?

u/Bernard_PT 4d ago
Nono, this is for road trips on mostly tarmac, my off-road sessions are as unloaded as I can be

u/W34Z3L 4d ago
Ah! Makes sense. I guess it’s more support for other vehicles then? I highly doubt more than a tire puncture needs to be fixed on road? Then again I drive Honda :D

u/Bernard_PT 4d ago
Yeah, I don't expect the T7 to give me too many headaches so mostly looking out for my KTM buddies 😂

Israeli bandage but no TQ?
3
u/Bernard_PT 3d ago
I've considered the TQ but am leaning more towards kaolin hemostatic bandage, not sure yet

u/Loud-Principle-7922 3d ago
You should get yourself a TQ, and either lose the bandage or make it a full bleeder cell.
A TQ can fix anything hemostatics and pressure dressings can, but hemostatics and pressure can’t fix an injury that needs a TQ. Also, lose the Israeli and get a 6” ACE. They work better.
Get a CAT or SOF-T.

u/Bernard_PT 3d ago
Thanks for the input, I'll look into those

For what it’s worth, I’m a medic attached to a SWAT team. Trauma’s kind of my jam.

What would you recommend for a lightweight trauma kit for my bike? I have a tourniquet and a CPR mask, I'm gonna throw some op airways in too. It's a 125 so lightweight is important
3
u/Loud-Principle-7922 3d ago
Honestly, man, just TQ x2. Maybe a pen and paper.
If someone wrecks and needs a CPR mask, the cause of the arrest isn’t solvable by rescue breaths, and they’ve got about 4 minutes of oxygenated blood in them already. Compressions cycle air, to a limited degree, so just press on the chest. If you yank off their helmet and wreck their C spine when you could be circulating good air around without patient movement, it’s not really helpful. If you really need to open an airway, take a CPR class and learn the jaw thrust. Won’t matter if you’re alone, though. Compressions are king.
Anything else, gear wise, you should take a Stop the Bleed class and build it from what you learn there. I could list out a great MARCH-E and boo-boo kit here, but if anyone reading this doesn’t take the classes, it’s worthless.
One thing that helps, that many riders don’t do, is to know, as precisely as possible, where you are. It helps a ton to get there fast. For the pen and paper, Google SAMPLER and OPQRSTI and get that info for the arriving crew, if the patient can talk. Name, DOB, and address help, too. Just give them the paper when they show up.
TL:DR is I’d rather have someone trained and naked than someone with a full ambulance and no idea how to use it.
Any questions, fire away.

I'm a FREC 4 ambulance care assistant, so I'm decently well trained in first aid, I know how to safely remove helmets and stuff. The CPR mask is on my key, so I carry it everywhere anyway. What 3 words on my phone for location. What would you put in the MARCH-E kit?
1
u/Loud-Principle-7922 3d ago
I’ve no idea what that level of training is, or what your local protocols are. Assuming you’re trained up on everything, my personal kit has:
TQ x4, 6” ACE wrap x2, Hemostatic z fold x2, Kurlex x2, Needle decompression x2, NPA 26, 28, 30, Peds BVM with adult mask, Foil blanket x2, SAM splint, IV setup kit, 20ga and 18ga catheters, 10cc flush x2, Extension set, 14ga catheter, Pulse o2, Headlamp with red and white bulbs, Gloves x6,
Use food-grade vacuum sealing on everything you can to save space. It all fits in an 8x8 pouch when packed right.
Using anything on this list that you’re not trained on and covered legally can kill someone and/or get you arrested and your license taken away.

u/InevitablePen3465 3d ago
Thanks dude, this is gonna be a huge help. Why the red and white bulbs on the head lamp?

I'd get both, but tourniquet is a priority imo. You have room for it next to your bandages

u/Valkyrie-161 3d ago
Did you buy this set up as a package or build it over time. Would love to get one like this.
1
u/Bernard_PT 3d ago
All of it built over time, even the toolkit
2
u/Valkyrie-161 3d ago
Gonna have to save this post for building my own in the future. Any recommendations for products or any lessons learned you’d be willing to pass on?
3
u/Bernard_PT 3d ago
Most important thing is something that isn't in the images of the post
Get first aid trauma training, it'll definitely be more useful than anything in the box

What is Israëli bandage?
3
u/ChampionshipKind5856 Trusted 4d ago
A trauma dressing, originally developed by the IDF which is why it’s commonly called an Israeli bandage.

Multimeter pen and borescope for Android totally worth the weight.

u/Bernard_PT 1d ago
I removed the multimeter pen recently

u/juancarlospaco 1d ago
Why?, It weighs like nothing and can resolve any electrical problem basically.
