ifak u
What does everyone keep in their ifak? Just the basic tq/ bandages with scissors? How many of what? Does anyone carry an ifak as well as a larger med pack?

I recently added decompression needles for chest wounds in each of my packs. The ones you jab into your chest to release pressure that can build from an entry wound. Google always has to remind me of the official name - Tension Pneumothorax Needles.
Seems daunting that you would essentially have to stab yourself with it, but if you're dying I suppose it would be no problem at all.

you might also want gas powered soldering iron for improvised cauterizer.

im trying to assemble a decent kit to go along with the rifles/ mag carries that im collecting. Aside from tqs, bandages, scissors, and chest seals, what is good to have? A basic kit to have to bring someone out of conflict into care.
