Quick-note: These kit's require a certain level of training. Do not buy stuff you don't know how to use!

UPDATE: This is my current FAK/trauma bag setup:

Looks pretty good to me.

How big is it? I,m trying to find the balance between what I need to have and what I want to have. I figure a small IFAK to carry. + A bigger kit
for a BIL, that I can use to resupply from. I have a client who is in our metro ambos and she gets me all sorts of goddies from time to time.

I think the bag is 30x25x45cm. It's a fairly big-bag, but it's managable for me.

Thank you for the pictures Jim. I always like seeing professional equipment, its gives me ideas. Any idea how much it weighs? Looks heavy but I doubt your lugging it around for miles. Also, I wouldn't mind seeing you other bag if you have some time to kill.

The trauma-bag is 15-20 pounds.

These are some pics of my largest kit, again Spencer. The lettering on it is from his previous job with a helicopter medical team:

I pulled my sad little FAK out and showed it this post so that it has a role model to grow up to.

Thanks Jim for taking the time to post those pics.

Jrod, I tried showing it to my FAK but all it did was take a flying leap off my desk and broke its neck in shame
