I am a person who believes I am my own first responder, I have a responsibility to my family, society and myself to stay prepared. I usually seek between 30-40 hours of tactical weapons training a year and religiously like to practice what I’ve been taught. The same thing goes for the medical side of things. I once read that 80% of people who die from accidents in this country die because they bleed to death. That being the case I’ve done what I can to learn how to stop bleeding and carry the proper tools with me to do so.
