This idea started a lot of my aspirations to get into sewing. I was seeing a lot of IFAK / MED POUCH / BLOW OUT KITS for sale but were not created how I would like to carry mine.
Disclosure:
I am not a medical professional. I have been trained in certain medical procedures and have taken several classes. Everything I learned was from people with experience way beyond my level which helped me develop what works for me. Everyone has different environmental factors as well, these are some of the tools that work in mine.
Some people add things like decompression needles or airway tubes to their kits. I have no training in that and if I did carry that it would be in a separate medical kit.
"KISS - Keep it simple stupid"
This is a two-part idea. Part one to have life-saving materials readily accessible so that when your adrenaline hits your not fumbling around unnecessary items like band-aids and ibuprofen. Part two is to make the kit have a small enough footprint your more likely to carry it on your person and it doesn't interfere with other equipment
Now, this is not a finished piece, there are a couple of other things I want to do to this that are not shown as I wanted to get the most complicated parts out of the way and have a prototype to kind of see and test.
The most important things to me inside this kit were;
2x Hyfin Chest seals
1x Combat guaze
2-3x kerlix gauze
1x Ace wrap
I believe I could cram maybe one or two more gauzes in there.
But Kleos no TQ?!
I do not carry my TQ inside a pouch, it is outside on my body, and ready to deploy. Seconds count when your bleeding out. TQ is the first thing I am grabbing.
As you can see the medical supplies are wrapped in elastic. the idea is to have the pull-tab extend past the lip of the pouch which would stick to velcro on the end. So you should be able to pull on the tab to immediately access your supplies.
