    Here is one of my two identical kits. The contents and what they are best used for are described in another thread.

    My EDC bag contains my FAK supplies, this is a picture of all contents from the bag. The red pouch is the FAK, I also have a C-A-T(tourniquet), a Laerdal face shield and anitbacterial wipes and nitrile gloves in various locations.

    The White Tablets are Finimal (Paracetamol with Cafeine). Painkillers.
    on the right are blister patches.

    My urban F.A.K. I`m using a box from “АИ – аптечка индивидуальная” (soviet first aid kit, which was used by soviet union civil defence troops). And in that box I usualy carry some pain killers for head and for the stomach, antiseptic gel, moist towelette and some plasters. I have another F.A.K. wich is more advanced, but I carry it not everyday.

    I just recently put this together. It was inspired by this injury which alerted me to the fact that the pre-assembled pocket first aid kit I had was simply not adequate.

    It’s a basic (level 1) FAK. It rides in my EDC bag, so it is never too far from me. I also carry a couple each of alcohol swabs and band aids in my wallet for minor injuries that would be prone to infection or for times when I would suck it up but I don’t want to bleed all over everything.

    Nice kit – How do you like that Coban :)? Have looked at it a few times but never used it, what sort of things do you use it for?

    Generally I use them for holding gauze in place…cold compresses…etc.

    Hi guys… This is my FAK. I have two MP FR1 pouches and I carry one everywhere. I have a very large one at home which is sold as a compiled kit. It is here :

    The one I carry with me is here, a little “pic heavy” Please note that I also have a “double pocket” attached to the FR1 :

    Feel free to ask questions… I have some oinments in the zipper bag but this med pack is far from complete. I’ll also add some suture additions including some silk soon. I attended to Med. school for 2 years and then I dropped it and became a computer engineer. I know, stupid… 🙂

    Cheers,
    Mert
