I'm currently in the market for a small med kit to attach to my EDC camelbak. I'm also thinking about putting a large one together for our primary vehicles. So lets see some pics of everyone's med kits and details as to what you carry in your kit.

Where is fire medic? I know we've got a few military medics on here too. Weigh in guys, I've been thinking about putting one in my two vehicles also so it can be decent sized.

I'll post one of my edc ish small kits. Don't judge the background, not my choice.

This stays attached to one of my packs. It is small, and meant to deal with small life threats. This doesn't have some of the items as similar sized kits I have (usually keep some Celox, Z fold gauze and a decompression needle with it.)

[Broken External Image] TT double M4 pouch, SOFT-T in the shock cord


[Broken External Image] contents of kit ( less D-needle, Celox and gauze)


[Broken External Image] Olaes modular bandage, 4". This is THE BEST bandage IMHO. It uses a forcing cup to put pressure directly in the wound, contains gauze for packing material and a plastic sheet for occlusive dressing. As far as bandages/dressings go it's the titties.


[Broken External Image]

Duct tape! Blood makes standard tapes (clear surgical, sports etc) pretty much useless. Duct tape has a million uses, and 5,000 of them are medical. This flat roll was achieved by wrapping gorilla brand duct tape around a 7-11 gift card, then trimming the card.

This is pretty good stuff, but proper training on how and WHEN to use this stuff would be much more beneficial. I'll try to get pics of my big car kit up later.
