This is my car FAK, one of a few for different purposes:



These are the contents of the top compartment:



Top row: Bulb aspirator, oral airways, pocket mask, suction device, marker pen, center punch, trauma shears.

Midle row: Gloves, ace wrap, ammonia inhalants, alcohol gel, bandaids, mylar blanket, roller gauze.

Bottom row: Cederoth bloodstoppers, triangular bandages, alcohol wipes, tapes.

These are the contents of the lower compartment:



Top row: Burn sheet, infection control kit.

Middle row: Adhesive triage tags, paramedic cheat book, gowns and masks, BP cuff and stethoscope, Asherman chest seal, Sam splint, more gloves.

Bottom row: Vaseline gauze, emesis bag, trauma dressings, abdominal pads (mid-size dressings), bulk 4x4s, plastic blanket.

The case is just a cheap plastic file box from the discount rack at an office supply store, but it's rigid and waterproof, so it fits my needs. Most things are vacuum packed. This is not a disaster/EOTWAWKI kit. It is just a small kit I keep in the car. After 30 years as a paramedic, I have a decent fix on what I really want and need, and know how to improvise. But I am, as ever, open to suggestions, comment and criticisms, and I invite yours.

Is there a pine tree growing inside your home???

Looks good. Even if several items are beyond my training.

Rustic pine tree-themed family room, that's the pattern in the rugs. ;-)

A'HA, I see now.

i am by no means an expert. But i have found hemostats extremely useful. or is that function served by a different item?

A lot of folks agree with you, but I've never felt the need for them, personally. Direct pressure, elevation, compression, pressure points, and tourniquets will usually suffice for hemostasis. I might add some clotting agents,though. I consider field use of hemostats mainly useful for pissing off vascular surgeons.

Nice!

Jeff, that kit is beyond my skillset by a mile but I notice that you don't have respirators in any of your kits or a means to irrigate wounds,is that too simplistic or am I more of a newbie than I thought?

Pocket mask + one way valve + Mk 1 lungs = respirator. I won't be closing anyone's wounds, so irrigation is left up to the ER or home care, but I do have a 60cc syringe as well as plastic bags (make a pinhole and squeeze) and a bulb aspirator, if needed.

I use hemostats for other-than-intended purposes. Such as, tweezers, clamp onto a ripped toenail to have a handle, latch onto a tiny little tick, so on. Your training obviously far exceeds my own, so I respect your views.

P.s. They are awesome in a fishing vest also.
