Just passing info here. I like the info from you awesome work. I do want to say I learned this recently and it has sound meaning behind it. My First Aid teacher said don't us blood clot powder. The Hospital/Doctor has to cut it out of the wound to properly fix you up. Sponge or gauze type blood clot is easier to clean off. Last thing you want is more digging into a gaping wound scraping out all the clogging material. I'm just passing the info, use what ever people like to use.
Just a heads up while you are technically correct, it isn't that big of a deal. Any wound where you would need to use that stuff would have to be surgically debrided anyway. As with most life saving measures, they almost all have downsides that's best not to worry too much until later. The impregnated gauze is better though as it is easier to use and allows a person to get pressure on a wound Moore quickly. Source: my wife is an ER physician who has to deal with these sounds when you get to the hospital and has done time overseas as a military doctor treating combat casualties. Long story short, don't be afraid to use what you have if you need it.
Don’t use a rats tourniquet. Also, don’t use those shears. Buy aftermarket ones. And ones that are at least over 15 bucks. Anything below that will get really dull after only the first cut
Just learned of an Ankle IFAK made by Rescue Essentials (and i am sure, others) that I am researching and really leaning towards....like my weapon, don't wanna be caught without one. Just trying to add options, please don't take anything as a possible one up on ya. Love your content!
Good question! I don't really know because I buy the pieces based on my training and assessment. That way the contents are customized to my requirements. I get to decide, not some company wanting to sell a bunch of stuff. My sense is that doing it that way is less expensive in the long run because you're not buy things that you don't need, or too much quantity.
Great point! Are most of the contents items ordered online or are they found at places of business in your community? Perhaps I should look for an EMT supply house of some sort in my area. Thanks for the feedback, this is an an area of preps that I am way behind the curve on!
+Black Riflemen's Organization (The B.R.O.) best option is to find an EMT supply house. They can also give good advice on what to have. they are less expensive than REI or supporting goods stores.
Pre made kits ive been looking at are all cheap pouches with cheap supplys and knock offs. And they include too much of one thing and little/none of what you need. Better build your own and save money by adding stuff you already have.
I honestly enjoyed the video and found it to be informative but i can't freak'n believe that i had to sit through the whole commercial advertisement with out a skip option...
Just as food for thought, i do not see very many You Tubers including Super Glue in their IFAK, which seems a little strange to me because it was originally developed for the Medical Industry as a very effective liquid bandage, which is why it sticks to skin so well.
Thank you for your contribution. The "rip-away" capability requires hook-and-loop on the surface where the bag will be attached. The bag that I use doesn't have that, but does have molle. It is also attached internally because of its covert mission. I would prefer a "rip-away" capability.

Or the 5.11 Tactical UCR (Urban Casualty Response) IFAK Pouch can be creatively used as a Admin Gear Pouch!

It appears to be the same design (but a bit wider) as the North American Rescue Eagle IFAK pouch I have.

nice review of the contents of the bag, but I was hoping to see the interior of the bag without all the medical supplies inside.
Your feedback is appreciated!
I would definitely add a package of compressed gauze for wound packing.
Mason Hanson Great suggestion! Thanks!
InYourDefense check Rescue Essentials online. they have amazingly cheap prices for everything. and $4.99 shipping for any size order.
Mason Hanson Thanks again!
I have been researching IFAKs for a while now (I need 2 of em) thanks for posting this video!

Ditch the RATs and get a CAT
could you please list the contents
Nice Kit. it sort of looks like the vanquest one. What are the dimensions?
7"H x 5"L x 3"W
What did it cost to add those items to your pouch? I always wonder if it is cheaper to buy pre made kits, or build custom.

new sub. great review!
Thank you! I appreciate your support
+InYourDefense I just liked and suscribed! I am a pre-medical student, looking to be a medical doctor one day. These videos are simply great!

Joe Watson Thank you for the information. I'll have to research that.
I think Condor Rip-Away Med Pouch is better

+BC 07135 I've not seen molle with Velcro in that bag. I'll check.
+BC 07135 I found such a panel at SKD Tactical. I'll order one and see how it works. Thanks!
This bag is ridiculously overpriced for how small it is.
Absolute terrible zip design. My first aid kit is constantly on show as the zipper rides down!
Thank you for your contribution to this discussion. Would you mind explaining a bit more?
