IFAK – What do you really need?

September 6, 2019 by Juliet Two 1 Comment

Let’s get started with a couple of combat medicine axioms that form the basis of all combat medicine dogma. Combat Medicine Axiom #1  “Sometimes, the best medicine is fire superiority.” Combat Medicine Axiom #2  “Good medicine at the wrong time is bad medicine.” Since the Loadout Room is organized around first line, second line and […]

Surviving a gunshot: SWAT officer’s review of the Gray Man Training IFAK

July 3, 2019 by John Smith Leave a Comment

I got linked up with Gray Man Training through a mutual friend and was sent this IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit) to see what I thought. The short answer is, “I’m a fan.” But for those who want some more details, keep reading. What I like most about the Gray Man IFAK is it is […]

How a Special Forces Medic sets up his IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit)

July 13, 2018 by The Arms Guide Guest Writer Leave a Comment

In this video we cover what I keep in the IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit), on the back of my Gun Belt. IFAK stands for Individual First Aid Kit. Well, honestly probably because the Army didn’t want to call it a FAK. Just like they didn’t want to call the HMMWV a “Hummer” because it […]

The Blackhawk STRIKE Medical Pouch – An IFAK for all

April 24, 2018 by Loadout Room Guest Authors Leave a Comment

The Individual First Aid Kit, aka the IFAK, is a concept that exploded during the Global War on terror. No longer was Doc the only guy carrying trauma gear. Every Marine and Soldier is equipped with an IFAk and if their leadership isn’t a failure they’ll know how to use it. An IFAK is a […]

Where is your IFAK?

March 22, 2018 by Bart "Sergei" Norman 14 Comments

So where is yours? ” Right here and always ready” is the only right answer here. I’ve seen a trend in the last few years of people actually using an Individual First Aid Kit more as a fashion accessory rather than a means of saving theirs or someone else’s life. Time and time again I see […]

Blue Force Gear Micro Trauma Kit NOW! The best damned micro IFAK I’ve seen!

October 17, 2017 by Garand Thumb Leave a Comment

“Want to see a dead person?” My translator casually asked me during my last day working at a rural medical clinic in Haiti after the quake. “How do you know he’s dead?” I asked seriously. My Haitian translator considered this question for a while, “Well… he isn’t moving much”. I booked it the half mile […]

The Modern IFAK – Blue Force Gear TKN Pouch

March 8, 2017 by Travis Pike Leave a Comment

The modern IFAK is a must have for police and military members. However, there are dozens of civilian applications for the platform as well. Anyone who likes adventuring, from rock climbing to hunting, an IFAK can be handy. Let’s not forget the average, everyday citizen who simply likes being prepared. Having an IFAK is the […]

Vakarian Plate Carrier Review: Elite Comfort and Modularity for Under $300

May 25, 2025 by Ajita Sherer 2 Comments

Built Like a Spartan, Worn Like a Ghost  There’s a scene in Halo: Reach, right before everything goes completely sideways, where Noble Team gets ready to make their last stand. Armor scarred. Visors cracked. Ready to die on their feet rather than live on their knees. That’s the kind of energy the Vakarian Plate Carrier […]

Day Pack – Mystery Ranch Gallagator 10 – The Best Yet?

March 30, 2024 by Rodney Pointer Leave a Comment

I enjoy weeklong excursions in the wilderness as much as the next guy, but that’s not an option when you lead a busy life. I know, I know, I hear you already: “But Rodney, the point of going on a long trip in the wild is to escape the hustle and bustle.” Well, yes, you […]
