THE USNEDOC LEVEL II FAK (First Aid Kit)
What is a FAK?
FAK = First Aid Kit
I-FAK = Individual First Aid Kit
Level 1 = Nutnfancy nomenclature indicating an individual level FAK
Level 2 = Nutnfancy nomenclature indicating a group level FAK with expanded capabilities compared with a level I FAK
The foundational video series on Level I & Level II FAK were done by Nutnfancy. Please check out and subscribe to his channel. If you have an interest in a great set of first aid kits, check out his Level I FAK video and his Level II FAK video series.

Some important points to consider about my LEVEL-II FAK
-This is not an end-all kit, rather my current thought process on a kit with adequate depth of medical capabilities for a group operating in a remote environment given certain size & weight constraints
-This kit is intended for providing care for my family members & close friends . . . I am not out there trying to find people to treat
-Sterile vs Clean Concept
-Wear gloves!
-Vacuum bagging decreases bulk, increases durability of supplies and provides an indication of what needs to be replaced
-Eliminate liquids which always seem to leak
-Best way to clean a wound is copious amounts of fresh water . . . chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide & betadine are generally not needed (see prior video content)
-Dont get all caught up in the different gauze pads . . . they are all variants on the same theme with catchy names
-Kit includes OPTIONS . . . cyanoacrylate glue, QuickClot, sutures & prescription medications . . . OTC medications for that matter. Pick and choose based on YOUR needs and comfort level
-Please no hallway monitors or armchair experts . . . I feel comfortable with the kit and its capabilities given the stated POU

This kit review will exceed 10 minutes, and I will apologize in advance for the multiple part series. I am not a YT partner and therefore am limited to 10 minutes per video.
Thank you for the subscriptions, ratings, comments & PMs. I appreciate the support and interest. More Bunker kits, projects, reviews and adventures are in the pipeline!
do you carry tincture of benzoin to help with steri-strip adhesion?
sockermidget 1 year ago
@sockermidget - I use either Mastisol or Tincture of Benzoin to help with adhesion. Try to get them as individual use snap ampules for field use. A small bottle is fine for home use. Thanks for watching!

i'm not a big fan of Quick clot couse of the Cemical part and it's burn the skin and can do damege to nerves and more

@petervagt - Peter, there is a lot of misinformation out there regarding hemostatic agents. Quick Clot gauze has no problems. However, that said, we all need to make choices for what we carry and intend on using should a difficult situation arise. My preference is to be prepared for the worst and hope I never get there. Of course, it is important to remember that hemostatic agents are not your first line action for bleeding.

@petervagt - No worries my friend! I'm happy to have a contributor from Denmark. I agree 100% with the potential "misuse" of QuickClot. I have managed some very serious bleeding without a tourniquet or hemostatic agent. Direct pressure, elevation, patience and a good pressure dressing does wonders.
