I was thinking more along the lines of the AMK Weekender kit for my BOB? It looks like a good 72 hour FAK.

In my EDC, I have a atwater FAK that is very similar to the .9,I like it very much.

Personally I like the AMK pocket kit, just for the hardware such as the tweezers. The most important additions is something to rinse wounds (your water supply), a non-irritating disinfectant (although poviodine damages healthy cells too, I use this), a few pieces of gauze to stop bleeding after cleaning etc, and then either tape to affix it, or my preference, a small tube of superglue. That and a triangular bandage covers most issues that I have encountered.

I am looking at either the AMK .9 , the AMK Trail or the AMK Adventurer.

I have decided that the Weekender is WAY to big for my BOB.

While we're on the topic, where do most of you get your unitized FAK supplies from? You know, things like providone swab sticks, alcohol wipes, etc.

LED,

Down here i get them usually from the drug store or medical supply shops for the local doctor's. Outside of that, then usually mail order from the states (REI isn't half bad, usually get some refiller stuff when doing a big order).
