This kit is carried on hiking trips, etc. and on the belt. For EDC I carry another kit:

modified coghlan's pack-2 EDC FAK

Please comment

I think it looks like a great kit.

this is very similar to my FAK supplies.

I added a Bloodstopper bandage to mine because of its multiuses. and to be used for more severe traumas

You're welcome Jim. And nice kit. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'd add an EMT and Trauma Doctor in there, but that's just my preference. <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Seriously though, that's a really tight FAK, Jim.

I have to know... Where did you get that flexible Thermometer?
I want one of those for my FAK.

The flexible thermometer came with a CarePlus FAK made by tropicare, only available in The Netherlands, sorry.

(First time you can get something exclusively in The Netherlands <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />)

I think a Bloodstopper would be to bulky for my kit.
But the ABD-pad and traingular bandage would be good for that severe trauma.

A very nice kit, Jim.

I used to carry an eye cup and a 1oz. bottle of sterile water for flushing out the eyes (as in the case of a chemical splash), but I see almost no one does this, is there a reason?

Also, I've carried a safety razor (for shaving that hairy leg or arm (or back <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ) for better adhesion of tape and also a toothbrush for cleaning out roadrash-type abrasions, but again I seldom see these things in others kits.

Well, I think that people don't carry saline and eye-cups because it's to bulky. I do carry 2 10ml saline ampules for cleaning small wounds.
Not a lot, but I can't carry more in my kit.
A safety-razor: Good idea! I'll add one right away. (OR I could just use the Duct-tape for removing the hairs...........ouch!! <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />)

Why do you say: ''used to carry'' and ''I've carried'' in your post? Don't you carry a FAK anymore??

Because of people like you that have made me rethink everything that I "used" to carry before joining this forum. I've got a lot of great ideas from the all folks here. The items I mentioned may find their way back into my revised FAK. As you say, the eye cup and saline is kinda' bulky.

Figures... <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
We have 'em for fish tanks... I wonder... LOL
