Are you referring to the Generation 3 kit? I didn't see tape listed.


I'm sorry I wasn't clear. The contents listed are what I consider necessary in a primary, single-patient penetrating trauma kit. For the D.A.R.K., all I would need to add is a roll of good tape. For the ETA kit from ITS, I had to add shears, CAT, and tape, with a holster for the CAT essentially mandatory. All in all, it's a very compact package but a bit more expensive than the D.A.R.K.
