When I joined ETS about 3 years ago, I was extremely interested in Ironraven's 'Medrat' which he used as a FAK. and desperately wanted to own one myself.. AND NOW I HAVE ONE!!!!

This kit is used as our family's home FAK and it will also go with us in a bugout-scenario. The emphasis is mainly on medical, not so much on trauma. There are seperate trauma kits in the house and cars as well.

My Packrat/Medrat in coyote tan:



As you can see I replaced the original zipperpulls with blaze orange paracord for easy identification. I've got a black carrying-strap which I guess could be used as an improvised tourniquet using the 'windlass-method'.



On one side I've mounted an Countycomm SOLED.



Opposite side has got an AMBU-lifekey CPR-barrier.



Backpouch has a dutch first-aid reference guide.



Medrat opened.





Everything is labeled as much as possible.

The drugbag. I only unclude basic medications. simple stuff like acethminophen and antacids are in the regulair medicine cabinet, but are unlikely to be taken along when bugging out. All meds are in a small ziplock bag which is labeled with the condition for which the medication is needed.



- Ranitidine (Zantac) as anti-acid and combined wih benadryl for allergic reactions
- O.R.S. for rehydration
- Chorinehexidine tablets for soar throat
- Cinnarizine for motion sickness
- Naproxen as anti-inflammatory/analgesic
- Immodium for diarrhea
- Ibuprofen for inflammation/analgesic
- Benadryl for allergic reactions

Yes, I know ibuprofen and nurofen are the same, but my mom swears by it and no other med will do, so I included them as well..


So, here it is. Your feedback is very welcome!
