Well, I’m not sure if this counts as a casual FAK … at least it has found its place in my setup.
There has been a gap between my true EDC kit (link) and my “traveling & visit-large-cities” trauma kit (Israeli pressure bandage, TQ, chest seals, trauma sheers, z-folded gauze) – for those outdoor / sport activities occasions that require more than a band-aid and less than an Israeli/TQ.
I have addressed this gap with a €3,- ($3.50) kit from Lidl (a German-based discounter), that seems to be sold once a year in May/June, called “Kalff Sensiplast Erste Hilfe Kit 38-teilig”. It contains all what one would “normally” need, for a fantastic price point.
Update: there is also a YT review of it.
I added a pair of Nitril gloves (in addition to the included Vinyl ones), a triangle bandage, a tick remover card, some 4″x4″ band-aid, eyewash, tweezers, burn gel and adhesive skin closures.
This FAK (14cmx9cmx7cm/232g ~ 5.5″x3.5″x2.8″/8.2oz) goes into my pack for any outdoor/sports activity (besides my EDC, and a small trauma kit w/SWAT-T TQ & mylar blanket). As this is layman-proof (no trauma stuff, no medicine) I would not hesitate to lend it to someone i meet on the trail or while bike trekking.
Yep,perfectly fine. While it isn’t the best treatment for them It will work fine. (This is because the charger will start with a CC curve when you put them in again) But it is perfectly safe to do so.
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.
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.

-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
-SalineI 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 splintsThis kit works pretty well for the smaller stuff and covers most situations I run across.
For meds, I store them seperately for ease.
