Combat lifesaver flashbacks when you had to put a NPA in on yourself for training. Use lots of lube all down the length. It's on odd experience shoving a tube into your nose while being cheered on by grunts telling you to take it deep. I don't agree with the suture kit being in an IFAK. It's just asking for someone unqualified to create and infected mess. Steri strips or Clozex is a much better choice. It won't do any more damage, are approved for surgical use, and can be bought OTC.

Suture kit with no forceps? Did I miss something

I was carrying my med-kit just yesterday when I was way down in my fields chainsawing some BIG cedar & oak that was over my fence line. Made sure to have some bleed stop & a tourniquet.

Nice job on the review Paul - I agree its a good starting point for those who just want to grab a kit and go.

@@danielkazanov7209 Great for starting fires. Also if you have to lube a pulley, hinge or anything mechanical in camp works great

Great kit! But my opinion is i would add another chest seal because if you have a high energy penetrating bullet or object there might be a exit wound therefor you would want to patch that up as well , other than that I like your kit

I have to build my own first aid kid (ifak) since I have often forgotten my main medical kit in the car. I have used a chocolate eggshell and it has gone pretty well. The experience makes me too confident for short walks to the point it can hurt :( I noticed I tend to intentionally forget my main medical kit in the car to save weight because "I can always jump back for it if needed". By "short walks" I mean mountain trips for 1-2 kilometers away from the car. I have used to consider this a small distance but suddenly realized that depending on the injury it could turn to a "far distance". Then I have started thinking of a solution. I have researched all mini medical kits. But then a problem occurs! As a difference to my mine medical kid where I have pills especially selected to my problems and often injuries all the kits that are sold out are with too basic equipment (bands, cotton, etc). I realized I already have these basics and could build my own kit. But in that kit, I'll add all the pills and tools I need. First I needed to find a stable and small enough box for it. Luckily my kids love chocolate eggs and I had a few plastic eggshells around. Get my main medical kit and start working. And tadaa! I believe I have prepared one of the smallest and full IFAK kits ever. (update: I have recently cut myself in the forest and this eggshell save me from bleeding) Here is what I've got in my pocket-size IFAK: Stomach help Active carbon Water purifying tablets Anty allergenic 2 x Safety Pins Hand sanitizer Straw Toothpaste Straw 3 x Bands Compressed Cotton Micro knife Do you have a mini IFAK with you? What can I add or remove from mine in your opinion?
