This is not an IFAK for my chest rig but a larger kit that I keep nearby. It goes under the seat in my SUV, in my hiking/hunting bag, in my range bag, etc.





Contents:

2x 5x9" heavy surgical pads
1x 6" Israeli bandage
1x 4" Israeli bandage
1x Quick Clot combat gauze
1x Quick Clot 25g sponge
3x H&H primed compressed gauze
1x CAT tourniquet
1x 3" ACE wrap
1x Nasopharyngeal Airway w/lube
1x roll waterproof med tape
1x 12' bright yellow duct tape
10x steri-strips
1x 7" EMT shears
1x chem light
1x Streamlight LED light
2x pair nitrile gloves
2x large safety pins

I still need to pick up a set of HALO seals and one or two TQ-4s as spares to the CAT.

You should find a way to secure the TQ to the outside.  Also some alcohol wipes and a pocket mask.  You're more likely to need the pocket mask than most of that stuff and you're likely to need it if you need any of the trauma stuff.  Oh and as many rolls of gauze that you can stuff in there.

TK-4s don't work very welll. Get another CAT or three. Good kit.

Not to be a dick, but you sure about that? I'm almost positive rescue breaths aren't even recommended anymore but it's been a little bit since my cpr re-cert. I also agree about picking up more CAT's instead of the TK-4's, those are one thing you don't need to cheap out on.

No room for more CATs, unfortunately. I wouldn't rely on TK-4s for primary combat tournies but they should work well enough on a brachial or ulnar bleed if I've already used the CAT. Also, the TKs can be used on young children with good results.

I did an advanced CPR re-cert earlier this year and it was compressions only.

Moving the CAT to the outside is a good idea. Maybe I could have a couple elastic loops sewn to the top of the case. That would also make enough room inside for a second CAT or 2-3 more primed gauze packs.

Good kit.  



I'd add a SAM splint or two and an eye patch.  Think about ways to make it known that it is under the seat in your truck.  Attach a red strap that hangs out in plain view, etc.

Good thread. I like your kit, OP and I will be modifying my truck kit to reflect some of your ideas this week.

One thing I am thinking of doing is making an EMT "jump kit" for the house. Do any of you guys have experience with this?my parents were both EMTs and I remember them having a pretty well stocked kit. I just can't remember what went into it!
