Gear/IFAK Anyone heard of these guys?
Had anyone heard of Medresq? A friend just asked me about them, and I had no clue. Never seen their stuff before. They're on Amazon, but it gives off rebranded Rhino Rescue vibes...
Apparently they have a site.

Yeah I’ve seen ‘em floating around. Packaging and kit layout scream budget tier rebrand wouldn’t be shocked if it’s straight from the same factory pumping out Rhino Rescue gear. That’s not automatically bad but here’s the rub cheap kits are like cheap parachutes. Most of it’ll work fine until the day you actually need it under stress that’s when bargain tourniquets snap, chest seals peel off, and “combat gauze” turns into regular rolled cotton.
To anyone reading this If you’re stocking a range bag or glovebox for everyday scrapes, buy it your own risk. If it’s for real deal trauma response? Buy once, cry once. Go with gear that’s TCCC recommended and field proven and recommended by experts in the field currently.
