It is red emproadery grid riveted to thin red craft foam and then cut to match my armor plates. Items are held to the grid using zip ties or double-sided tape to keep them in place and will stay organized when opened. The whole package is then vacuum sealed and a slit is cut below the bottom seal so it is easily opened.
My edc kit, Sits next to my seat on the work van, rides shotgun in the jeep and goes at the foot of my bed at night.
Two tourniquets
Two chest seals
Npa (with lube)
Quick clot gauze
Roller gauze
Izzy dressing
Ars needle
Misc gauze pads
Write in the rain
SharpieMissing from the pic is a set of trauma shears and a small roll of painters tape, because I had just used them to cover a cut.
This isn’t exactly EDC, but I take it on any scout trip or hike. I took this pic a while ago for another reason but I thought I’d share here. It’s definitely geared towards bleeding. I think I need to add ibuprofen since on our last scout trip… it was the ONE thing I needed! And even though I always carry a Fisher pen, I should keep a pencil in there with paper. Oh, and the ‘lucky dog’s foot’ in the picture is not part of the kit.
I used to have a full blown kit (personalized by myself) and got tired of non use, so I switched to carrying a few bandaids in my wallet. When I bought my car I was surprised to find they included (and by my novice experience) a nicely stocked one in the trunk. That is all the medical equipment I carry.
This is my FAK either this pack or my “BOK” rides on the front of my backpack depending on my needs. Sometimes both ride on my pack. I’ve tailored it to be used as a personal/family pack.
– The pouch is a Condor EMT pouch.

Here’s mine in a sweet tin. 😀 I’ve had to use this a few times when friends have been in need. In all honesty I mainly carry it for other people rather than myself. I also commute by bicycle so if I ever fall off and cut / graze myself, I can sort myself out.

I recently made some changes to the outside of my FAK. On the inside it is still the same but I added a Mil-spec Monkey tourniquet/shear pouch in foliage so that it wouldn’t blend in with the rest of my gear that is all black. I also added two Maxpedition grimlocks on the back so that it hangs on the cargo netting in my car.
Here’s what I carry in my EDC bag (Timbuk 2 messenger bag)…
