In this review the item was free and I get a commission for sales from the link in the blog but you will pay the same price as you would otherwise. Thankyou for helping to support the site.
The My Medic mini IFAK kit gives you roughly 75 essential items for an on hand medical kit. The range of supplies gives you the ability to do everything from deal with minor cuts and larger bleeding injuries, treat pain and stings, allergies and dehydration all the way up to large complex wounds and even keeping an airway clear. There are a range of thoughtful tools and even a glowstick and paracord. The molle pouch can be carried by shoulder strap or attached to a backpack as well. With a choice of pouch colors and the ability to ‘upgrade’ with extra medical kits ( such as the one I chose for hiking) and a QR code linked first aid guide you will be very hard pushed to spend $75 building your own IFAK and come even close to the value for money for this Mini IFAK.
This IFAK will suit trained EMTs and anyone that is looking for a first aid solution in the home, vehicle or out on the trails.
Full Review
I am a proud serving diver for the Newtown Search and Rescue in Connecticut so the need to carry basic medical and survival equipment on you at all times is drummed in to me on every call out we go to.
The Pouch
The sturdy pouch comes with a Molle attachment system and you can also remove the entire molle strip to reveal a shoulder holster if you wanted to carry it over your shoulder instead. The IFAK mini also comes in a range of colors.

About My Medic
My Medic was born after a tragic car accident took the life of a loved one. Lack of equipment, proper training, and a long wait for emergency medical services to arrive led to an unnecessary death.
Our goal at My Medic is to prepare you with the equipment and training for the unexpected emergency.
