I'm concerned because the medics I talked to said Halo or Hyfin are the best, hands down, and my "online research" shows mixed reviews on Bolin, and most of those reviews are old. Would anybody here think that the advantage of the kit being made for me is worth having the Bolin, or would you just make the kits yourself with the Hyfin? I vacuum package the kits so they stay dry, clean and tight for keeping in a pocket or pack. Also, North American Rescue can make the kits, but with a CAT-T, which I like a lot, but it's not as comfortable/convenient to carry in a pocket, so that means a lot of my guys won't carry the kit. They are in the field, sometimes even on horseback or ATV, and usually a minimum of an hour from higher level medical care.
