I'm finally trying to put all of my amassed first aid and trauma supplies in one place but I'm not sure which configuration would be best.  My plan is to use a condor rip-away EMT pouch as an IFAK and keep either the deployment bag or M3 as a more comprehensive treatment bag (large ABDs, dressing resupply, fluids, etc).  I'd then attach the pouch to the deployment bag wherever it best fits on the webbing or on the back of the M3 (only spot with MOLLE)... probably a slightly awkward spot.


My question goes out to anyone using these packs.  The deployment bag seems on the small side and the M3 seems to be a bit large in that it retains no shape and has no organization within the compartments and supplies would just be swimming around unless it was constantly and perfectly stuffed.  How much can the deployment bag hold?  How do you organize the M3? Longevity/durability problems with either one?




Thanks!
