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 - 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.

  • Real nice kit! My tips for readers: I hit up my local discount store crafts department for the little zip lock bags, and bought three packs of three different sized baggies for about 5 bucks total. Good enough for organizational purposes. I was also lucky to find at a surplus store, two gray military SAM-style splints for 10 bucks total. Another place for those is Ebay. Shaves a few bucks off. I have been adding to my kit, and it adds up fast! Every dollar counts.

  • Great job.

  • ok im confused today i went to order an irrigation syringe from my pharmacy , anyway any idea what the guauge cc and tip type i shoudl get they said theyres catheter adn luer lock and a few other help ?

  • this video is more than adequate

  • @petervagt You should take a look at Celox instead then. It only seems to clot blood it comes into direct contact with. Might be something you would be interested in...

  • @USNERDOC Normally First aid is always the First solution you should think about when a Emergency or accedent happens then you can take action with all the Gucci products after.

  • @USNERDOC i totally agree and i didt said i wouldt use it if nesessary.

    but there are a lot of people there are thinking that "Oh we buy a quickclot " and then they use it when they cut there finger on a Picknick. and thats no ok i think it's all about EDUCATION! cant edress that enough (sorry about the spelling erros ) from Denmark :-)
