Boondock's IFAK

[Boondock]

Had to post my first-aid kit for BushClass, thought I'd share with ZS.

This FAK is not intended for the end of the world. I use it for day hikes and camping, but also would bring it for a 48-72 hour bug-out.

Just the basics for initial treatment of a range of maladies, ranging from indigestion to a gunshot wound.



Here's what's inside:

Advil-4
Chewable asprin-2
Non-chewable asprin-2
Pepto Bismol-4
GasX-2
Single-use thermometer-2
Exam gloves-1 pair
CPR shield
Casualty blanket
Triangular cravat
Q-tips-10
Ace wrap
Safety pins-3
First aid tape
EMT shears
Hand sanitizer
Hydrocortisone cream
Triple antibiotic ointment-2
Antiseptic towelette-2
Alcohol swabs-10
Trauma pad 5x9
Gauze pad 4x4
Adhesive pad
Non-stick pad-2
Knuckle bandage-2
Various adhesive bandaids-17
Curious George bandaid-2 large, 2-small
Kerlex roll
Moleskin patch 4x4
Tampons-2
Rubber bands-2
Inventory card
First aid bandana

Everything is sealed and gets wrapped in the bandana.



Fits in the top, outer pocket of my Spec-Ops pack.

Thanks for viewing.

Maybe I missed it but I did not see anything to effectively treat GSWs.

Pressure dressing or tourniquet from cravat and bandana (there's tent stakes in my pack) combination. The tampons are for nose bleeds, but I might use them for an entry hole, Ziplock baggies for sealing a sucking chest wound.

I plan to get a new Israeli bandage and Cat tourniquet. Unfortunately, I was forced to use them on my last deployment.

But I hear what you're saying, I'm using a few old-school methods at the moment.

Please don't do that.

Yup. But to be honest, I can recall when I would've shaken a Voodoo charm stick over a wound if I thought it'd stop the bleeding.

I carry an enhanced boo-boo kit. Like I mentioned in another thread, I gave up on doing much more than trying to stabilize and evacuate.

I remember that thread--I liked it a lot. Thanks, Murph.
