DirtyDigz 1,811 Posted December 21, 2022 I've got ~$75 in medical FSA funds I need to spend before year end. Is there a decent medical/IFAK-type kit I can buy for about that amount to keep in my range bag? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,661 Posted December 21, 2022 What are you trained on and what do you want to be able to treat? Are you looking for band-aids and Tylenol or quick clot and tourniquets? Depending on what you are looking for -you can spend a lot more than $75 and still need more. My first stop for anything Medical supply related is: https://www.narescue.com I’m sure you’ll find something there to suit your needs and price range. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DirtyDigz 1,811 Posted December 21, 2022 Prior EMT-B training, mainly wanted a "stop the bleed" type kit with TQ. Ended up ordering this - will supplement it with some other supplies I have: https://www.rescue-essentials.com/flat-ifak-vehicle-kit/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ESB 244 Posted December 21, 2022 I got an IFAK from Rescue Essentials and like it. Came with pretty much everything I wanted and nothing I did not want. Here is one for $73. CBP IFAK 2 (Black) (rescue-essentials.com) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What are you planning on adding - I have a few things that I like to use (SOFTT-W, Oales, QuickClot) and would augment that kit as well. Curious what you prefer. Personally, I don’t like keeping my boo-boo kit (band aids and tummy medicine) in with my trauma/bleeder stuff, but if the kit is big enough and packaged appropriately, it’s not a big deal. Depending on your range bag, that may be bigger than you want. 3 hours ago, ESB said: I got an IFAK from Rescue Essentials and like it.

I make a couple substitutions (SOFTT-W instead of the CAT, and an Oales instead of the gauze and bandage. But it’s a good start and the right size for a range bag.

ESB 244 Posted December 22, 2022 This is actually the one I went with. I wanted a kit with a tourniquet, Hyfin vent twin pack, ETD bandage, and QuickClot along with the usual. FLETC IFAK (rescue-essentials.com) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
