The burn kit:

Nothing fancy.

The contents of the burn kit. I need to get some single-dose packets of WaterJEl...

You have no idea. It's like ammonia, old lady stench, and the reek of wet garbage. I've had three neighbors call the cops about the "dead animals" I'm keeping. Imagine that the most toothless bum in India just licked your face, and then shit on your upper lip, while liquified roadkill from the sun scorched roads of the swampiest stretch of louisiana highway was dripped in your hair, and month old rotten eggs dripped slowly down the back of your throat.
But it could be worse. I could smell like Doc's mom.

Dude... I was eating when I read that. Well at least maybe it'll help me stick with my diet or develop bulimia.

Its focus is on my patient's comfort.

Gauze and tape is cool and all but I don't think you guys are thinking enough about the morale of those you're giving medical attention to. I kind of think that you all simply don't care enough.

The bag:

Thanks, NFA.

Oh and I pray to all that is holy that Kyle is my medic!

Medic's BFK
(That's "Big F'ing Kit" just so you know)

It's actually green, and the logo is reflective. Left and right side also have reflective strips.

There are two pockets on the left side:

Yes, that's a size D oxygen bottle and about 10 pairs of nitrile gloves. Gotta have the air so that we can un-smurf people.

Tools of the trade. They're in a pocket in the flap.

That blue thing is a disposable tourniquet. Yes, I "only" have two rolls of tape, but I've got splash goggles, sliver tweezers (in the canister at left), hand sanitizer, eye wash, benzoin swabs, a couple of finger splints and tissues.

Left to right, top to bottom:
Single use thermometers, burn dressing, chemical cold pack
2 tubes of oral pain goo.
Ammonia capsules (smelling salts), space blanket, air-activated heat pads
Insect bite relief swabs (Medicaine), triple antibiotic goo, alcohol prep pads.

More tools of the trade: Cheap stethescope, palm-aneroid BP cuff, large SAM splint, BVM

Sub-load #1, green. Airway. Full OPA set, 2 NRB masks, 2 nasal cannulas.

Subload #2, red. Trauma. 1 Izzy, 1 Bloodstopper, 1 (? I had more. Gotta restock) Kerlix, 1 Vaseline gauze. (note to self: Add chest seal)

Subload #3, blue. Dressings. 15 @ 4x4 gauze pads. 5 eye pads

Subload #4, yellow. Bandages/wraps. 1@ of 2 different ACE wraps. 3 rolled gauze. 2 triangle bandages/cravats.

Someone's been raiding my kit for parts. Grrr.... Time to restock.

What kind of nurse did you want to be again? (At least he smells better than homeless-person feet. Or melena :shock:

)

True, but smelling and reading the description while eating my Cookies n Caramel Nutrition Bar are two different things...

Proceed with your FAK and someone pass me the pepto...

I should hang you with your own stethoscope, but I can't really blaim you... because it has been long ago since you had female-sex over there :wink:

What you do with GI's over there doesn't count.. no, the sheep that gunny send you doesn't count either...

Ow screw it (pun intended), doc you get my vote... I'll give you second place, after me of-course :twisted:

Jim, I was looking over your earlier pics of your FAK and I have only one thing to say: What kind of "help" do you give these people?

Ah! That's what's missing in my "Comfort Aid Kit"! Thanks, Jim!

I also need to toss a DVD player and some movies in my CAK like Threads, The Day After, Requiem for a Dream... you know... upbeat stuff.

by **Dave_M** » Sat Jan 19, 2008 1:04 pm

Wow. I've never seen a thread so completely and utterly full of fail. Why do any of you even try? It's pathetic really.

Erik had the right idea, Doc Simon's was utterly pitiful but was still an attempt nonetheless. My FAK is zombie-apocalypse based so I designed it accordingly.

The bag: It's a cheap Champion gym bag. Purchased God-knows when for probably $3000 because it's completely full of win.

The outer pocket has:

Nothing! That's right. Real men don't use the exterior pockets.

Let's take a peek inside:

Bandoliers. British style that hold 150 62gr Zombie Pills apiece. These meds are proven to cure the affects of re-animation if inserted into the brain at 2800fps or more.

Under that:

30-round AR--um, I mean high capacity zombie pill feeding devices

Total contents:

Of course, all of this is useless without my semi-automatic zombie pill injection device (SAZPID), here:

I will be using this bag in conjunction with the SAZPID primarily for treating victims of zombie bites. Unfortunately I couldn't get anywhere near all of my zombie pills or zombie pill feeding devices into one bag. I've managed to cram 4,260 pills into my FAK. Conclusion: Need a bigger bag.

Can I have a "ZS Medic" patch now?

by **Erik** » Sat Jan 19, 2008 1:08 pm

The question is, who's FAK saves more lives?

The answer is obvious: DavePAL's.

Um, let's see here......Oh, yea, right here...... It says-

Water, and gel..... Yep, that's about it.

Hope this helps..... :roll:

Since you're rather new, that's all of my considerable flame-making abilities you shall recieve. This thread is for posting FAKs, and/or shooting said FAKs full of jealousy-fueled flameholes. Try asking your question in any other thread here in the FA forum. This thread is a throwdown nothing more, nothing less.........

by **Gunny** » Sat Jan 19, 2008 11:53 pm

Heh alright Dave, I want you to hike that bag and tell me how it works for ya.

And no, you can't borrow my Sherpa.

Basically, it's lidocaine (anesthetic) and tea tree oil.

Water-jel (the dressings) does NOT contain Lidocaine, Burn-jel (ointments and gels) does.

Who let DavePal out of the firearms section? Erik I thought it was your turn to watch him. Now look what he's done...

Yeah, he might have just gone and won this dang thing. :roll:

But tomorrow night Australian time if practicality permits you will see true tailored to requirement brilliance, I'm just not sure if I'll be taking the pics here at home or in a motel/serviced apartment as I've gotta do the grand tour of the choicer parts of my territory this coming week.

I'm looking at the tacticool glory that is my BooBooFAK, IFAK and Squad Trauma Bag as I type this...

...mmmmmmmmsodamnsexy.

I stand corrected. I was thinking the gel-packet line.

Tea tree oil (maleleuca alternafolia) is some damn fine stuff.

Hey guys, how's it go---

Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. This isn't the IFAK throwdown thread, is it? I think I'm lost. Can somebody please point me back in the direction of Off Topic?

This is my sorry-ass Ifak.
<img src="http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t50/Shiner86/Gear/ShinerFak1.jpg" border="0" alt="ShinerFak1">

It's got 3 separate sorry-ass compartments.
<img src="http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t50/Shiner86/Gear/ShinerFak2.jpg" border="0" alt="ShinerFak2">

Four rolls of Kerlix and 2 Triangle Bandages.

This is what you'll find in sorry-ass compartment #3.
<img src="http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t50/Shiner86/Gear/ShinerFak5.jpg" border="0" alt="ShinerFak5">
Two SAM Splints, my basic fak, 2 field dressings, 4 pair of nitrile gloves, 2 ace bandages, 1 roll duraband medical tape, my headlight, 1 water jel bandage, a light stick, 1 package of oral rehydration salts, a bottle of burn jel, 3 sizes of naso-tubes, 2 rolls of compressed guaze, aspirin, medic shears and 2 packages of ceralyte.

These are the contents of my sorry-ass basic fak.

<img src="http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t50/Shiner86/Gear/ShinerFak7.jpg" border="0" alt="ShinerFak7">
Assorted guaze, alcohol wipes, iodine wipes, wet wipes, 2 cold packs, mini rolls of guaze with mini rolls of medical tape for all your mini emergencies, band-aids, a thermometer with disposable tip covers, gluco-burst, sunscreen wipes, insect bite wipes, electrolyte tabs, non-aspirin pain reliever, antihistamines, anti-diarrheals, exam gloves, antibiotic ointment, tweezers and 2 small sized field dressings.

Okay, so that's my IFAK.
