This week’s video is a complete walk through and review of Skinny Medic’s Civilian Medical Trauma Kit. This IFAK comes in multiple different configurations and has everything you need to save a life.
Kits are great starting points. Your needs are going to be different than mine just based off climatic issues; customizing is probably a good idea. There’s no such thing as a one-kit-for-all-events FAK. What I’m doing and what I reasonably expect to encounter determines which of 3 or 4 kits I carry along. I’ve always got my EDC kit, it just gets supplemented as needed… range day, woodcutting, hunting/fishing trip, extended trip into the boonies, etc.
The first points to consider are what are your own capabilities and training? Like any tool kit, do not get something that will GET YOU IN TO TROUBLE! Whether First-Aid, Trauma kits, or even automotive tools, be aware of limitations.
That looks like a good kit. Divemedic approved.
