Carlebben Rip-Away EMT Pouch Molle Pouch Ifak Pouch Medical First Aid Kit Utility Pouch 1000D Nylon

Just after buying this product, I witnessed a vehicle accident that occurred directly in front of me. I was thankfully able to stop, and when I first got to the people in there cars, I noticed that they were injured. Now thankfully this is where this beautiful medical kit came into handy. I just remembered that I purchased this, so I went back to my trunk and got it before assisting the individuals inside the vehicles until EMT's arrived on scene and took over. This small medical kit was able to completely cover what I needed to help treat the people in there car. I strongly recommend this kit to someone that want a small and not complex kit for there vehicle.

It cool come with everything it says it worth it

So this kit does come with quite a few first-aid items, most of them are for minor scrapes and cuts, though. I wish this kit had a better tourniquet and it is lacking blood coagulants like Bleed Stop or a Quick Clot sponge, a chest wound seal would be nice, and I wish that it had larger surgical pads. All that being said I've seen waay worst first aid kits than this. It does have quite a few items for a $32.00 kit. I liked it enough that I bought 2, so that should hopefully mean something to someone. I like this IFAK pouch better than my last one, this one is a little bit bigger and has plenty of open space for a kit expansion which is something that I plan on doing, adding in some the items that I previously mentioned to make this IFAK into an ideal blowout kit. I do like the "rip away" aspect of this kit, that is something that my last kit didn't have. I have this kit attached to the exterior of my plate carrier for a minute man loadout. I'd recommend this kit to hikers, outdoor enthusiasts, campers, weekend-warrior militia 2A types, and preppers such as myself.To the product manufacturer, I would highly suggest including a blood clotting coagulant for serious open wounds, a tourniquet, larger surgical pads, and maybe a chest wound seal, even if it raises the original price from $32.00 to $50 or $60+, it would be even more well worth the money. Not everyone is expecting to be on the front lines or to be "taking a bullet," but a person out hiking that takes a serious fall getting a compound fracture to the femur is going to be real thankful that they're not going to bleed out because a person such as myself has some basic first hand knowledge of basic first-aid and will be able to help that person by properly applying a tourniquet to the severed artery and keep them alive long enough for search and rescue to be able to fly them out.

This kit is a good starting point for a first aid kit. The variety of items it comes with are good, though it should be supplemented with some larger gauze pads and rolled bandages. What it comes with will work well for small cut and scrapes, anything larger and it won't have what you need. The bag is great, the rip away Velcro does work, though I have it mounted with the Velcro to the fabric that lines the trunk of my car, rips away form that just like it would from back piece that comes with it.

The Good: Great pouch. Really well made, MOLLE mates up well, plenty of straps, elastics, pockets, etc.. Works really well on my SOG pack. The "rip-away" function is excellent. the over-strap secures it well but is very easy to pop off when desired. The "trauma shears" (12cm scissors) are halfway decent, they'll work on bandages and T-shirts, but I'll still be keeping my good ones on my hip. Mylar blanket and emergency poncho are nice additions.The Bad: Other contents leave a bit to be desired. "Tourniquet" is a rubber band, the type a phlebotomist uses to get your veins to pop up, NOT remotely suitable for field application and most definitely won't stop bleeding. I expected this and got a Recon Medical gen 7 to throw in. Smaller scissors are garbage, the ones that come in the $0.99 sewing kits at Walmart. A handful of band-aids, mostly useless sizes/styles (what the heck am I going to use 20 round band-aids for?), some small gauze pads and a roll of gauze. I get my gloves and alcohol pads in bulk, so not really useful there. None of the other various pads are worth the time.Overall, I'd say it was worth the money, the pouch, scissors, e-blanket, and poncho cover the cost. Buy it. Keep the scissors, poncho, and e-blanket. Junk the rest of the contents, or relegate them to your bathroom medicine cabinet, stock it with useful materials, and hope you never have to use it.
