The group I train with lists the following contents for an IFAK:
1 Ifak pouch (marked)
1 Cat tourniquet
1 pressure bandages or equivalent
1 rolled / compressed gause
1 roll medical tape
1 triangular bandage.
1 Nasal tube
Recommended minimum
1 Ifak pouch(marked)
2 cat tourniquets
1-2 Hemostatic sponge
3-4 pressure bandages or equivalent
2 rolled / compressed gause
2-3 triangular bandages
1 Nasal tube
1-2 chest seals
1 Emt shears
Location recommendations.
* Keep your tourniquet very accessible. You may only have seconds to apply.
* Have your ifak where you can reach it on your gear (not in your pack)
* Remember you can always have other medical supplies in your bag on another pouch. Your ifak is NOT a general first aid kit. It should only be opened for gunshot or some other form of trauma.
