Hi all,
my current FAK is “bulging” a bit now and the seams are not looking that stable any more….
i’m looking to upgrade to a slightly bigger pouch (maxped fr1?) but i’ve seen that i’m not the only one that has moved away some from the standard “official” “contents…
what I currently have in there:
EMT scissors
tweesers
few safety pins
wound cleaning pads
leukostrips (lots of them!, if it doesn’t require stitches, this is THE sollution IMHO)
rol 1/2″ medical tape
gause pads in various sizes
emergency bandages in 2 sizes, (3″x 3” is te largest)
1 1/2 inch elastic bandage rol
betadine gause (impregnated with iodine)
single use “tube” with burncream
various bandaids (i “highly” prefer the ones that stick on 4 sides!)
tube wih various pills: ibuprofen, aspirine, lopamide, etc.besides the small FAK-bag the bottle of water is allmost as important and “belongs” with the FAK.
what i would to add:
– leatherman micra
– small flashlight, petzl E-lite or Fenix ld01 (there is allready one on my keychain, love the thing!)
– wider roll of tape (1″)
– some sort of “heavy trauma” bandage for worst-case-scenarios
– still need to steal a small soap bar from a hotel
, or does someone know a better sollution?i’m not that keen on adding a tourniqet, as i’m not trained in using one.
(in my country it is also not part of any “civilian” training that i know of/participated in.)anybody that has some suggestions is more than welcome!
regards,
Jakala
