Depends on your level of training, Are you at least First Aid trained?
Know how to apply a tourniquet? What about hemostatic dressing? Strongly suggest finding a TECC equivalent class or at least reading up on the subject and then follow the TCCC guidelines. As for kit, I say assemble your own or you can try http://darkangelmedical.com for a pre assembled kit. Training is the key, if you don’t know how to use it, no reason to carry it! http://www.naemt.org/education/naemt-tccc As for hydration, really anything that mounts up and works is good to go. |

I need to pick up a general use IFAK, I'm thinking just the standard infantry IFAK. Where is the best place to buy this? How about hydration to stick on the back of my carrier? Any models to look at or avoid? How about a molle mounted bladder? Does camelbak make one? |

Really just stuff to have around and put on my PC so I can run Combat Class at CW. Or if it is ever needed, I'd rather have it and hope to find someone that knows how to use it. |

The Ifak is for you to use whether self aid or on someone you care about. If you are going to get an IFAK with life saving trauma supplies,then take some time to learn to use it. While I’m a big advocate for a s much Med training as possible, a simple stop the bleed class is a good start. They are all over the place - check with your local hospitals
It’s not just for gunshots- motor vehicle accidents, lawn “ incidents” , ..... penetrating trauma happens all the time and everywhere You have a better chance of using those items and some knowledge learned in a one day class then you will your gun or plate carrier As for hydro, look at the source hydro bladders. Much better than Camelbak |

If you're looking for hydration pack to attach to your pc this is what I use and love it. Other places sell it cheaper.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'll do a +1 for Source. After purchasing my first Source system two years ago, its much better than a Camelbak. The only thing that Camelbak has over source is their wide openings, making it quicker to put ice in the bladder. I've never been easily able to open up the top of the Source bladders. I also love their Universal Tube Adapter for filling up! |

I recently bought a small Warrior Assault Systems 1.5L bladder pouch for my JPC. I like it.

It doesn't really fit as it's a 3L bladder, but it works. I should have just bought the complete set up linked by D-RAS03 from the get go and been done with it. For the IFAK, I got one from Esstac. Filled it with a 6" Izzy and a tourniquet. Need to get a different bandage (maybe a 4" Izzy) and some QC gauze. |

All my source bladders have a plastic rail that slides off the top opening up the whole bag. Makes cleaning a lot easier too. 
I'd still love to get a Source bladder for my FILBE hydration carrier, but I don't want to spend the $50..... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Mine do as well. I removed the plastic slider once and had a really hard time getting it back on. There must be some trick that I don't know..... After that, I decided that I would just leave it alone!
