Autumns, this was the rig I was trying to compare to the blackhawk model. I didnt realize at the time that the blackhawk was a individual FAK not a "squad" one like the NA Rescue.

Pics and the Specs shows 2 ETD's being used within one section as well as 4 S Rolls and 2 CATS.

 

EDIT:

 

Some new pics of my TSSI M4 Medical Bag.

The start of my new FAK:

P6256237.jpg

P6256238.jpg

 

NARP Warrior Aid and Litter Kit - WALK.

 

Once I've completed it it'll be pretty extensive, but that's the way I like it, I suppose :>

Will be resting comfortably in the back of my car permanently in addition to the obviously awesome airsoft aspect.

Yeah, about that NARP WALK bag....

 

It's certainly getting a run for it's money - just picked up my new SKEDCO SOF Mobility CASEVAC kit this morning!

 

P6306258.jpg

P6306257.jpg

P6306259.jpg

 

 

I'm just completely stunned at the ingenuity of this thing, and I keep discovering new pocket with nifty little doohickeys in them! :)

Considering I paid the fraction of the price of a new one, with it's only defect of sorts is that the bag itself is a bit diry, I'm more than thrilled with this one.

Hi,

the first-aid discussion page seems to be down or the links provided on this page is broken. In any case, don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I wish to ask:

 

The blackhawk medical pouch that looks like this:

http://www.blackhawk.com/product/STRIKE-Medical-Pouch,1324,55.htm

 

Did it ever come with the tan zips? Thanks

 

(To Pkekyo Nor: congrats on your WALK and CASEVAC packs, now -that- is a med pack. Compares to IFAK's like M60's to Uzi's, lol)

As a reminder, anything besides BASIC first aid equipment should only be carried by trained (defined by the state/country you live in) and it is recommended that you take some type of training class (it's not the basic courses are really expensive anyway).

 

Now for my gear, and I apologize for the many pictures(and the size... my camera sucks and I can't edit anything with this computer please let me know if the auto-resize doesn't work for you guys, I'll just provide links, but by thursday I should have access to a computer that can re-size stuff)... but I even left some stuff out. As a side note, this is my BLS kit I carry while airsofting(for the most part), in my car, and in the trunk at work, which hopefully explains the amount of stuff (also note that I'm an EMT):

 

The bags:

img0551rm.jpg

Left is the BLS kit bag, I forget what brand/model, but I do know there are some replicas very similar to it made now-a-days, it's held up nice and has easily accessible pockets.

Right is the IFAK/Blow out kit. This one I carry everywhere and is on a easy-access side pouch of my duty bag. It contains the essentials for a gunshot wound(since I have an increased likelihood of those). Since it's sealed and I don't like to waste tags, I didn't take pictures whats inside. But it contains:

2x Petroleum gauze (two different sizes)

1x 2" tape

4x 4x4s

2x 5x8s

1x tourniquet

1x pair nitrile gloves(black)

2x QuickClot

among some other things I'm forgetting. It needs to be checked in December, if I remember I'll take photos of whats inside.... it's just a basic kit though with a OEM velcro which fit the pouch and the pictured orange trauma sheers perfect.

 

Now to the BLS kit, as I said, some things I left out to save room...

 

Pocket 1(smallest top outside)/2(bottom outside):

img0550c.jpg

1(left) Contains:

1x 5.11 Traffic Vest

2x Medium Bio Bags

1x Leatherman Multi-tool

 

2(right) Contains:

1x bottle Aleve(for personal consumption, I do not hand out these for ANYONE)

1x eye wash bottle (in a separate bag for good reason... it seemed to have been squished a bit too much and leaked).

1x WaterJel Burn Jel Plus

1x Ivarest Foaming spray(for poison ivy/oak... we have a lot of that in Wisconsin)

1x Benadryl Spray (same thing, plus other allergic reactions)

1x Thermometer(oral) with many covers

1x pair nitrile gloves

1x Nuva Care antiseptic spray

1x Red lighstick

(not pictured: 1x ice pack, 1x blood clean up kit)

 

Pocket 3(middle medium):

img0549t.jpg

Contains:

1x disposable pen light

1x trauma sheers(blue)

1x 2" tape

3x pocket/hand warmers(more not pictured)

6x pair nitrile gloves(4 pair blue, 1 pair purple, 1 pair black, each are by thickness, blue being thinnest and black thickest).

1x one-time ice pack

4x 5x8 combine pads

4x 4x4s

2x non-stick pads

1x WaterJel Burn Dressing (arm length)

assorted bandaids(yellow taped ziplock bag)

assorted extra gauze/tape/bandages(blue ziplock bag)

1x flashlight, with blue and red lenses

1x NPA plus KY(I don't like to carry airways, but I threw this one in because I got it in a pre-made kit a while ago)

Assorted wipes(antiseptics, soap, iodine, sting-ease swabs)

3x roller gauze (3 more sterile not pictured)

1x assorted tools (tweezers, hemostats, scissors)

assorted oral intakes (mineral supplements for dehydration, individual non-aspirin and Aleve, but I only give that stuff to personal friends after they answer some strict questions... I don't like giving meds to people).

Not pictured: 1x 12x30 trauma pad, 2x petroleum gauze, 3x ice packs, 2x QuickClot

 

Pocket 4(large/rear):

img0548ik.jpg

1x SAM Splint (1x SAM II on order)

1x BP cuff(non latex)

1x Pocket mask w/ O2 inlet

assorted triangle bandages/ACE bandages(I carry many more ACE bandages, but we use those for airsoft "bandages")

2x ice packs

2x finger splints(disposable, different sizes)

1x space blanket

1x Stethoscope

1x OD cloth(for many applications)

Not pictured: 2x Disposable Cervical Collars

 

And this is the bag while on my back:

pa241104.jpg

 

Side note about the ice packs:

I live in Wisconsin, USA. We have cold winters and hot summers. It's perfect... the problem is we all are stupid when it comes to the middle of summer because we don't understand the thing called hot weather, so we have a lot of heat cases. Now that it's getting cold and since I have things apart, I'll likely remove some ice packs and add some heat packs(we've had practices in 0 degrees and played in 28 degree raining). Sorry for the length of description. Please feel free to PM me about specifics/thoughts/tips.

Thread revival again.

 

 

I pretty much always have a combination of the following on or near me.

I don't carry OPA/NPAs and IV gear, as I've only once had introductory instructions on it, and rather stick with what I know.

 

P4277645.jpg

 

I carry the stuff in one or more of these carriers.

 

P4277649.jpg

 

The right side pouch on the SKEDCO pack stays empty in case one would need to carry IVs, OPA/NPAs or whatever might catch one's fancy. The SKEDCO SOF Mobility pack usually stays in my truck, accompanied by a "regular" vehicular kit.

Whenever out and about with weird camouflaged uniforms and such I also carry around one or two israeli bandages in my left shoulder pocket, and a CAT in my right.

Got this about two weeks ago from the folks at London Bridge Trading; took them three months to make it, but the time was well worth the wait. Intended purpose for the bag is to be used as my jump bag for work; Im an Emergency Medical Technician with a rural fire department in Michigan and this allows me to carry more of the basics then I was able to with my TSSI M4 Medical Bag. Its still a work in progress and Im missing a fair share of items that Id like to put into it, but I think its a *decent* start so far. Also, please forgive my lame photography skills, I was trying to be creative and they didnt turn out as nice as I would have liked.

Sorry for the incredibly long post, but thats my bag so far. For those of you that are wondering, everything was paid for out of my pocket except for the airway stuff, which we are allowed to grab from supply. Big thanks go out to Mandy at LBT for getting me a great price on the bag.

x2 ETD's

x8 North American Rescue S Roll Gauze (Or H&H Primed's)

x4 North American Rescue Hyfins (Valved Version due to local protocols)

x2 Tac Med Solutions SOF-Tourniquets to replace the CATs.

x1 OPA Set (For the removable Airway Bag)

x4 NPA's (Size 22-32, Removable Airway Bag)

x3 Rolls 3m Tape

x2 Water-Jel 5"x9" Dressings (1st/2nd Degree Burns <15% TBSA, again local protocols)

x1 Burn Sheet

x1 French Suction Cath

x1 Yankauer Suction Cath

 

Any questions, criticism and advice is greatly welcomed. Thanks for looking.

I think your artsy fartsy came out nice. That's also a very nice bag. I debated buying a STOMP, but I just might go with that one because of how it looks to be set up. Any negatives you've found on it so far?

Only "negatives" I have found with the bag is that it is a wee bit smaller than my sisters Blackhawks version and the shoulder straps are made of a very light, non danier nylon fabric. Despite the fabric not being 1000D Nylon like the rest of the bag, its a hell of a lot nicer than the Blackhawk by FAR. My brother in law went through two Blackhawk STOMP II's while he was in Mosul in 06-07 and my sisters bag (Which is a STOMP II and has seen very, very light use) is starting to show wear in the stitching between the bag and the shoulder straps. I dont mean to degrade Blackhawk by any means, but the quality you get from London Bridge Trading cant be beat IMHO, especially with the lifetime warrenty. If you have any more questions about it fire away, sorry about the delayed response, work has kept me pretty busy as of late. Do you plan to use it for Fire/EMS or Military use?

All three services. I'm a first responder right now, working on getting into the army to be a 68W, then hopefully going back into EMS and law enforcement (and hopefully I can get a job at the PD I've been interning at because they want to include Tactical Medics with their SWAT team which would obviously be a big win-win for me). I just use a tactical bag that I had around and converted it to my personal BLS kit, but it doesn't allow for much organization or ease of use. I think everything you've said is more than enough info I needed, thank you very much, stay safe.

Warrior Assault Systems Rip-off Medic Pouch. I've found it to be about the right size, not so small I'm trying to force things in, but not so big it gets in the way. Possibly not the most practical pouch to get across the pond unless you're picking a few things up from uktactical though.

 

I agree entirely, even though I've had various first aid training over the years (not to mention learning through observation when real medics have been patching me up after my foolish antics) but Its also my hiking kit so anything that isn't likely to be useful is just weight I don't need to be carrying

Update:

Overview of my London Bridge Trading 1562B; this is my jump bag that I use for work. Recently received an LBT Oxygen Tank bag, along with a Class B O2 tank and regulator from the Fire Department. In addition to the tank and regulator, I also received a nice little package from North American Rescue. Bag is *almost* done, all I need is a few more tid bits here and there and it will be completed.
