I'd like to build a trauma kit for my vehicle and I'm looking for a medium-size (8x12 or so) bag to hold my supplies. I'd like it have molle on one side and a clamshell opening like the bag in this video:

It's over your price range but I really like the Combat Lifesaver from Chinook.
I grabbed one of ebay a couple of years ago for $50. |

That chinook looks like a nice bag. I was thinking it would be helpful to have all my PPE in a pouch on the outside, hence the molle...the chinook appears to have a zippered pouch on the front behind the shear pouch I could use for this.
Do you have any experience with this style of "deployment" bag? https://www.voodootactical.com/enlarged-3-way-deployment-bag-red.html Just curious what sort of bag you prefer. I like the clamshell because I don't have to dig for things, but maybe it's not as important as I think. |

I use a separate fanny pack that has my PPE, , pocket mask, stethoscope, BP cuff, and a few trauma supplies that I looped through the belt area on the Chinook bag. I think I also have gloves in that exterior pouch. I've tried just about everything you can think of over the years. I was rural/volunteer for a long time and responded to the scene from home so I started with an Iron Duck Breathsaver. Had O2, IV, meds, etc. Eventually downsized trying several different backpacks. Kept a StatPak G2 in the trunk for a couple of years before downsizing again to the Chinook. I have those in both vehicles now. I have never used that style of bag from Voodoo. |

No kidding, I'm a rural volunteer firefighter. I was thinking I could use a kit for calls between my house and the station, as the medics are usually on the opposite side of the station from me. Sounds like you've got the bag situation sorted out. Our department uses that Iron Duck bag (actually the Ultra Breathsaver) on the engines; it sure holds everything but you do have to hunt for items, especially when you aren't in it every day like me. I believe the Voodoo is a scaled-down Breathsaver. Also considering an M9 backpack, although that's larger than I need. |

So I picked up a Chinook CLS bag on the EE. Haven't received it yet, but I think it'll be what I need.
In case anyone's interested, apparently the bag in the video is made by Springtail Solutions. |
