    After reading this very interesting thread I decided to add a fak in my car, but I’m not entirely sure what to include. So far I have a couple abd pads, 2 pairs of gloves, 2 rolls of gauze and some shears. It’s fairly compact and I’m planning on putting it in the center console of my car in a clear ziplock style bag. I’m going to the store tomorrow to get a few things and figured I could get whatever I need to finish this kit.The only thing I could think of was some quick-clot and maybe another abd pad or two. The main purpose would be to stop bleeding until FR’s arrive, so anything like a sam splint, meds or disinfectant would be useless. So is that really all there is to a car fak? Just stopping the bleeding? It seems like you would need a bigger kit to treat anything serious and by the time you treated anything more than a flesh wound EMS would be there.

    Anybody carry a kit in their car? I’d love to see some pictures :D
