    I have to go very light weight. I carry in my work bag: Tylenol, a few 3/4in. x 3in. bandages, and a few cleaning towelettes.

    Why a flare gun and $300 + for it ?????

    This is what I carry in my work bag. Use my old SwissTech tin. Not much in the way of first aid, but I find myself actually needing the medicines more often anyway, and I’m rarely far from a legit FAK. The burn ointment and sting wipes have come in handy too.

    oh my, 300+ bucks for a flare gun!

    looked around their site, the fake suppressors were the best though

    I carry a small ‘boo-boo’ kit seperate from my IFAK, to make things easier to find especially if I’m rooting through my IFAK in a hurry.

    This is the kit I carry in my EDC bag.

    The case is possibly a bit larger that I need, but it does the job well and I have the space.

    -Various band-aids, including hydrocolloid ones
    -Wound cleaning wipes (Saline, alcohol and iodine)
    -Iodine swab sticks
    -Styptic swabs (Stops bleeding well on small, stubborn cuts)
    -Antiseptic cream
    -Tape (micropore and athletic)
    -Bandage
    -Saline

    I could probably take the saline out. The safety pins I don’t typically use with the bandage since I don’t find it works very well and tying a knot in the bandage works much better IMO. They are used for popping blisters though.

    – Non sterile gauze (for mopping up)
    – Dressings, including hydrocolloid and vaseline soaked
    – Steri strips
    – Scissors
    – Tweezers
    – Tongue depressors for makeshift splints

    This kit works pretty well for the smaller stuff and covers most situations I run across.

    For meds, I store them seperately for ease.

    In an old pill bottle I keep
    -Paracetamol/acetaminofen
    -Ibuprofen
    -Buscopan
    -Loratadine
    -Cold and flu relief
    -Glycerin suppository
    -Bisacodyl Suppositery
    -Caffeine
    -Travel sickness
    -Electrolytes
    -Aspirin

    I also have a smaller kit for when I don’t have my bag. It fits into a jacket/trouser pocket

    -Dressings
    -Steri strips
    -Band-aids
    -Tape
    -Cleaning wipes
    -Burn gel

    Having multiple kits makes it easier to grab the right one for the job

    If you are not able to attend to your batteries being charged, is it ok to pull then out and continue later?

    That’s not what I meant. I was talking about the battery’s output, not the light’s output.

    Ah, so it seems. I guess I should have read that more carefully.
