Midwest Tactical First Aid

It was a good week at Ripley. I never thought I’d set foot on that base again, let alone stay in the crappy 9 block housing. But, tactical medic school 2024 was a good time.

Friends and family,

As you know the Carry The Load organization has been a huge part of my life the last 5 years. They are an awesome nonprofit organization, honoring the brother and sister first responders and veterans we lost in the line of duty. The true hero’s that fight for us everyday.

This year the organization is taking it one step further and honoring the truest, kindest, and hardest working guy I know, Adam Finseth. Adam was functioning in his role of firefighter/ paramedic/ tactical medic for Burnsville when he was taken from us. He was taken by a heinous act of violence, but Adam was acting in true selfless heroism.

The Midwest leg of the Carry the Load national relay begins in Minneapolis on May 5th at 2pm. It’s a short 2.7 mile walking leg, and I would love to have a massive group walking with me to help honor Adam and his family.

You can find additional info and sign up here:

The relay will be in La Crosse on May 6th at 7pm.

If you can’t come out and walk with us, please consider donating to the cause.

Reach out if you have any further questions!

Packing up these custom first aid squad bags for the Winona County Sheriff’s Department!

This department has been my number one customer from the beginning, and they are surely the best prepared for all circumstances and challenges surrounding the environment they work in.

Penetrating trauma on the civilian side typically happens to the thoracic region. The only treatment for injuries in this region is to place an occlusive dressing(s) over the site of injury.

Why break the packaging on a two pack, when you can have two individual seals, together in separate packaging. Medic Six is running a special right now 2 Russell Chest seals for the price of one. Right now Russell Chest seals are BOGO 2 for $20.00.

Message me to place and order, or call/ text me at (507) 429-8109.

You don’t have to time to second guess yourself. When in doubt, crank a tourniquet out. ***BUT*** make sure you’re constantly re-evaluating to make sure the interventions you perform are controlling the bleeding effectively and completely. Be ready and willing to change it up if it isn’t working.

Are your officer's set up to go home to their loved ones at the end of their shift?

Houston County Sheriff's Department and other Houston County police departments braved the cold and snow to be better equipped to do just that.

On Tuesday this week, an additional 12 officers took our Bleeding Control for the Tactical Provider course. This course gives these law enforcement officers and deputies hands on practice and practical application of life saving interventions, all while performing in a tactical setting.

Thank you for trusting us to deliver this course.

Everyone goes home.
