I have advocated using a modular approach to setting up FAK's for years, there are several benefits of this.

1. Adaptability- you can reconfigure your kit quickly based on what you are doing.

2. User Friendly- if you build modules and teach others your system then everyone in your group can quickly locate essential equipment in emergencies.

3. Organization- at a glance you can see what is low, out of date, etc. allowing for stock rotation. (use expired supplies for training).

Remember your IFAK is for you not others, so you need to stress that each person has an IFAK, but prepare a general response kit as well.

In emergency medicine, most of the time the very basic skills are what is needed. There is a saying "Paramedics save lives, EMT's save Paramedics".

The premise behind this was some tend to focus on advanced skills and overlook basic lifesaving techniques.

Do you have a link to the kit your referring to? I've been kicking around buying one of the Gall's kits. They appear to be pretty well stocked, but I'm no Corpsman...
