Trauma Kits

It is rather difficult to carry medical gear.  In particular, within the self-defense and preparedness community, carrying medical gear refers to carrying tools for treating trauma, specifically, life-threatening bleeding.  There are four dedicated hemorrhage control devices that we are interested in here: the tourniquet, packing gauze, pressure dressings, and chest seals.  Carrying all four items on-person is challenging, and the best option for doing so, in a concealed fashion, is with an ankle IFAK.

Having spend a lot of time wearing an ankle IFAK of late, I gave up on it.  I simply don’t find it comfortable.  It is a great option if you can make it work, but I just don’t get along with it.  Ironically, I find an ankle gun perfectly comfortable, but not an ankle IFAK, no matter which options I have tried.

In this video, I show alternatives to ankle carry for on-person medical, and I also discuss other medical kit options that everyone should consider:

Live fire practice is essential. To buy the ammo that I use for training at the best possible price, go to:
