| I've acquired a big shop First Aid Kit from work. It has a big bunch of everything. I put it together, and then proceded to shove it all in a big Multi Purpose Coyote bag from Specter and realized it is HUGE. I'm wondering what all you folks have in your BOB FAK. I'll get a couple pics up later of everything that is in mine currently. Thanks |

Well it depends on which kit. In total I have almost everything legally possible...
In my IFAK I small thigns that would be needed for a GSW: Abd pads, guaze, QuickClot(although its not a good idea to use it), shears, Ausherman seals, gloves, alchol pads, tage, and cravats. My BOB FAK is litterally a large duffel bag that I can through into my truck bed if I need to move. It has everything useable by a BLS person. Then I have my primary med bag I keep in my truck. This too has everything that I could possibly have to use in the field (I am an emergency med tech). I then have another bag that is set up for O2 (also in my truck). It has both size BVMs, nassals, orals, NRBs, and nassal cannulas. The first thing you should do is make sure you know what all this "stuff" is and learn how to use it. I highly recommend getting involved with a volunteer First Aid Squad and getting your EMT license. It is alot of time, but for the survivalist it is highly worth it in the long run. |

My FAK is in with other grab-n-go stuff in a SPEC OPS Ratpack. This organizer has a shoulder strap, so i can carry it alone or throw it inside my BOB.
In it I have: Tweezers Magnifier Quik Clot 4x4 bandage 4 gauze rolls assorted bandages - mostly active/waterproof Triangle bandage small Ace bandage Cotton swabs Second Skin Burn pads Steri-strips Butterfly Bandages 2 kinds of tape 3 in one antibiotic ointment Povidone ampules Latex gloves immodium pepto-bismol benadryl 25 mg caps actifed ibuprofen flagyl (for giardiasis) lip balm 15 mg morphine tabs :) This all fits into one of the pockets of the Ratpack, which also holds: - Streamlight Scorpion flashlight - Potable Aqua - Helios Lighter - Mag/Flint bar - Leatherman Wave - Small screwdriver - 1/2 Hacksaw blade w/ Duct tape handle - Marker - Small mirror - Plastic conversion/ruler card - Small scissors - Small hank of paracord - 4 ft of automotive gauge wire - Small sheet of heavy plastic - Dark plastic trash bag - Mylar space blanket - Various sized Nite-Ize Carabiners - 4 Nite-Ize cord/tie down appliances This nice little pack gets thrown in my luggage on trips and I've never been questioned on it..... The mesh on the outside of the bag can hold about 4 mags from my Beretta on occasion... |

Thanks |
