IFAK / Med Kit Component List
Putting together a blowout kit for your vehicle or gear bag? I have several, and keep one with me in a vehicle or gear pack at all times. If you are carrying a firearm with you on a regular basis, then you need to keep a trauma kit of some sort nearby. Furthermore, you need to do some sort of medical training. For training, I highly recommend finding a course from Dark Angel Medical. After completing their training course, we highly recommend it and we will be taking their course again in the future.
**UPDATE** Due to the number of people that have asked us to make this easier for them, below are some simple options:
- Pick a Medical Pouch
- Add the IFAK / Basic Medical Contents to it
- If you're looking for more contents for wounds and less for trauma, I strongly recommend the Vehicle First Aid Kit with possibly the addition of a CAT Tourniquet
If you'd like to piece together your IFAK on your own, below are some of the things that I think you need you'll find useful are as follows:
- Rip-Away Medical First Aid Pouch (Other Medical Pouch Options)
- CAT-T Tourniquet (x2) (or SOFTT-W tourniquet)

- Halo Vent Chest Seals
- Chem-light (glow stick)
- Latex-Free Gloves
- Trauma Shears

- Emergency Blanket
- QuickClot Combat Gauze (Z-Fold)
- CPR Mask
