Medkits with 4 things: Combat gauze (quick clot) Tourniquets Israeli Bandages Occlusive Dressings

If you're crafty, the Israeli can be used as all, albeit as well as none of them individually.

Get comfortable with the idea of pushing gauze into a wound until that wound has no void space left (packing). Get comfortable with the idea of needing to possibly do this to yourself. It will hurt. It will save you.

And know what to pack, what to occlusive, and what to tourniquet.

For armor, Level 3+ to stop 556 rounds, nothing less. And get comfortable shooting wearing armor and carrying a backpack with supplies in it. The weight will all to the difficulty. The more you train in gear and with gear, the more natural it becomes.
