I realize it opens like a book, but it looks like access to each internal pouch is solely through the diagonal zippers. Am I missing something? Could you post some more pics, maybe with some common items included for scale?

My bad, I thought that you meant something else. You're right, you do have to kinda tuck things in the pockets one at a time. I'll try to shoot some pics.

1 Mini Rescue Flash Signal Mirror





Give the space, I think they could have gotten the full sized rescue flash in.

Of course, if our AMK reps are seeing this, while I'm not sure for $56 I'd buy it, but for a freebie I'd give a review. *grins* [/quote]

Saw one at the store yesterday. The description "Mini" on the rescue flash mirror is not a joke. With the room available, they should have gone full size. It is smaller than a sugar pack in an MRE.

They do sell the bags separately, just not on their site. I can't find site I ordered from a while back, but if you contact AMK directly they should tell you where to look. Some of them are available here.

I agree, their bags are great, but I'm not a fan of the way organise items or the very limited quantity of meds. I've found I can store at least 5x as many blister-packed meds in the same space as those packets, and they're more durable too.

I also like to have more dressing material than they provide in most kits. If someone gets hurt and it's not a life-threatening injury, I want enough supplies to change the dressing and promote healing for the duration of the trip, and not have to turn back or cut it short because there isn't enough gauze in the kit.
