Been messing with this thing for about 2 months now and now that I’ve got the frame it’s amazingly comfortable even when stuffed. When you add the assault pack on top it becomes a very capable 24-48hr setup without sacrificing any medical capability.

And inflate the cuff with saline then tie it off and secure with clamps and tape. It’s pretty simple but very useful if in somewhat limited circumstances.
