Announcing the commercial debut of The Guardian, a portable trauma kit designed to deal with gunshot wounds and other penetrating injuries requiring immediate treatment not possible with standard first aid kits. This is not a general purpose first aid kit. It contains specialized supplies and tools to deal with severe trauma in field and combat situations. Everything you need is in one MOLLE-compatible bag, designed to be worn, not left behind. In addition to a fully stocked kit, The Guardian also includes an 80 minute DVD detailing the use of the kit, and a set of laminated Quik-Ref field cards with step-by-step instructions on use of major kit components.
The Guardian was designed by an active duty Marine field medic who saw a need for a personally-carried kit of supplies for everyone going into harms way. Seconds count when a serious injury is sustained, and having a casualty wearing the supplies needed to keep him viable until medivac comes can be the difference. We were proud to be asked to help get these into the hands of deployed and deploying troops and will continue to do that when possible.
As we worked with The Guardian, we saw a lot of commercial applications. Law enforcement officers, departments, and other agencies are now using these kits and more inquiries come in every day. Range managers, gun club officials, and safety officers all see the benefit of planning for accidents, while doing everything they already do to avoid them. And individuals, avid shooters who spend time on a range, in the field, anywhere guns are carried and used, all see the need to have a little "insurance" on hand.
The Guardian retails for $279.95, and we are offering them on AR15.com for an introductory price of $249.95 delivered. This is a limited time offer, and will expire on May 31st. We are also offering the training DVD separately for $29.95 + S&H for those who have already assembled a full kit and would like to have the benefit of some organized guidance on their use.
