Obviously there are those that train for a breakdown of civilization. This may not apply to you, or may be something you're only using when those services are still operational, or while you're training for that breakdown, or whatever.

But for most of us on a given day, EMT response time is probably under 30 minutes, which equals maybe an hour to a hospital or trauma center. Even in the boonies, given life-flight type helicopters you're probably looking at an hour at most.

Is treatment like a tourniquet (for an extremity hit) or a chest seal or one of the other popular IFAK components critical at that point? Or are these treatments that are meant for longer response or evac times?

If someone is concerned primarily with accidental shootings on a range, do the same requirements apply as they do in a combat zone?
