Events in Japan have had me thinking about my EDC a little more. Went through the FAK I carry in the truck this morning and I’d be interested in any input you might have.
I’m not really of the survivalist/end of the world mindset, but I like to have some bases covered. I’m also a carpenter and work on isolated jobsites with “whirling blades of death”, as one friend calls pretty much any power tool, jokingly of course.
My kit, as I see it, is for unplanned events plus the everyday things that I might need.
My training in years past has been in the wilderness medicine vein, I was at one time a Wilderness EMT-B, so I feel comfortable with some improvisation.Contents (in a AMK Fundamentals bag):
– Latex and Nitrile gloves
– Lots of bandaids (regular, knuckle, and fingertip)
– Butterfly bandages.
– Cloth tape, Transpore tape
– A few surgical pads and some large gauze pads
– Adult and child Epi-pens (left from when I regularly took groups out climbing, etc.) They need to be replaced.
– Ace bandage
– Ibu, Naproxen, and Aspirin. Benadryl, Allergy meds (for me), Immodium AD.
– Neosporin, Alcohol wipes, irrigation syringe.
– Trauma shears, small bandage scissors, Uncle Bill’s tweezers, small forceps, nail clippers.
– Mini Bic, CountyComm folding razor knife, P-38,
– small zip ties
– Pad of paper and a couple pencils, each wrapped with 8-10 feet of duct tape.
– Gonna throw a SAK in there right now.Look forward to your comments.
– Kit
