Here’s how I’ve been carrying my first aid / trauma style kit recently to keep it readily accessible.

I’m currently splitting my First Aid Kit across two PDW Stash It pouches. One is for ‘boo-boo’s’ where you’ve got some time to think about what you’re doing and the other for situations where there’s more of an immediate danger. I had them together in one pouch, but it was so stuffed that it was harder to access what you needed than necessary.

I’ve used the webbing holders to attach them together so they work as a stack in the thinner compartment of my SHADO pack, and also my older style GORUCK Bullet 10L Ruck. In the SHADO they’re stacked on top of my larger PDW pouch and which is attached to the bottom of the included organiser panel. The panel gives me the ability to lift the whole lot out in one go, but not attaching the First Aid means they can come out separately.

I’ve carried pre-made kits before, but since reading an article on ITS Tactical, I subscribe to thinking shared on there that everything in my kit I’ve got to be confident using. Also, I’ve created an entire and exact repeat of the first aid booboo kit in a smaller pocket pouch for trips to the local park or days out where we don’t need a trauma kit!
