Roger that. I also keep a couple of bandaids in the wallet, sunscreen, bug spray electrical tape and water in the car.


I also keep a SWATT, quickclot and a pair of nitrile gloves on me at all times (other back pocket to balance out the wallet). In my driver’s side car door I have a SOFF-T and a pair of trauma shears, and in the trunk I keep additional med gear.


My “disaster kit” lives in my front hallway closet so it quickest to the door if I need it, and the family first aid kit lives in the bathroom under the sink. I keep an IFAK in my work laptop bag, as well as an IFAK with my range bag and a few others around as needed.


My personal philosophy of “preparedness” is built around the concept of layers, so I try to always keep some minimal FA items on me at all times, even if it is just a bound aid in the wallet.


I’d be pleased to discuss my setup more either through PM or this thread. But I realize one person’s idea of prepared is not someone else’s. My setup works for me and my level of training as a First Responder and my time is SAR.
