In my previous post found here (@loganhommel/poke-holes-and-plug-them) I broke down my personal IFAK build. This is the "Vehicle Light Trauma Kit" that is found on the third image. As it states, it's part of a 2 part system in my vehicle, but it will be broken down as its own in this post.

You can see the designation patch, Blackhawk molle quick clips and trauma sheers. Also....a Yankee Candle scent thing...it rides on the back of my seat in my truck, gotta smell good.
There's still room to add some things into this kit, one of which will probably be a secondary TQ and maybe a Clif bar or something.
The guts, right to left:
- SAM Splint
- Nasopharyngeal kit
- Large Guaze pad/Chest Seal and Guaze Roll
- Non Sterile bandage wrap
- 2x NAR Compressed Guaze
- Heavy Bandage Roll
- Hand Sanitizer (Commonly forgotten)
- Full Pack of BC Powder (fast acting NSAID that doesn't require being swallowed)
- 4x Nitrile Gloves (DO NOT USE LATEX)
- Lubrication, Bee Sting Swabs, Bacitracin, Iodine Swabs and Pads, Alcohol Pads, General Bandaids
- NAR Compressed Trauma Dressing
- 6x Wound Seal
- 3x Chemlights
- Medical Tape
- Streamlight 14512 Sidewinder Compact II
- TQ
The purpose of this kit is more Trauma/ All purpose. It rides attatched to the drivers seat back on a molle cover. It can be taken off rapidly and can be used for anything from a GSW to minor scrapes and cuts. I would put a EpiPen in the kit (all of my kits actually) but since I'm not alergic to bees, I can't get a perscription for a pen (probably one of the bumbest regulations out there).
Next week I'll break down my Vehicle Medium Trauma kit part 1 of 2. It's a much larger bag containing everything here and much more. Hopefully these posts will encourage people to become more prepared when it comes to their own safety and those around them. Feel free to give me input whether it's based on your opinion or experience, or things YOU may carry in lieu of or also in your kit.
Some of this may seem redundant, why carry multiples of things?
2 is 1, and 1 is none.
