Previously there was discussion of the "murse", and I sent in the picture of my F350 pick up. It is true, that my truck really is my "murse" in that I am NEVER without it at work/home. As such I assume you are looking more toward EDC for folks separated from their vehicles?

I have the "MASH BAG" in each of our vehicles, but my jump bag (riding with someone else) has about what you listed plus a few items for major bleeding.

You might consider some glucose paste. I have it due to my Hypoglycemia, and it sure works in a pinch.

I carry a small alosak bag in my back pocket with a bandanna.


A few various sized bandaids, advil, and Allergy pills. The tums I swap in or out depending on if I have been needing them lately.

That looks like a good kit. Only thing I'd add is contact drops and maybe sunscreen chapstick.

My real Every Day Carry is a pair of nitrile gloves in a 35 mm film cannister, keep it in my jacket pocket. Ambu mask for CPR breathing in my office evacuation kit, laerdals in car and at home. Usually but not always a bandana in my back pocket, non-sterile. We have good FAK wall units at work, I keep loads of FA in my car and at home and in hiking gear. Having a blood barrier in the form of nitrile gloves is all that I need Every Day on my person. And its surprising how often I've cycled through gloves in the past 6 months, from a co-worker with a cut head (and Hep A it turns out) to a 5th grader thrasher with a bad road rash (my bandana helped with both of those).
