🧠 Why the TRK-1 Kit Could Save a Life


Emergencies don’t come with warnings, and often your response time is everything. Here’s how the TRK-1 makes a difference:


🔴 Massive Bleeding Control


Bleeding out is one of the top preventable causes of death in trauma. With dual CAT tourniquets and QuikClot Combat Gauze, you’re equipped to stop hemorrhaging before EMS arrives—or when they can’t.


💨 Chest Trauma Management


With Hyfin Vent Chest Seals, you’re ready to deal with gunshot wounds, stabbings, or blunt trauma that can lead to a collapsed lung. These are must-haves in any serious trauma kit.


🦴 Orthopedic Injury Stabilization


Whether it’s a broken wrist from a dirt bike spill or a fractured leg from a fall, the SAM Splint and wrap give you field-ready orthopedic care.


🔥 Burn Response


Burns are common in overland and camping setups. The Burn Jel dressing provides immediate relief and infection prevention—when time is critical.
