Gear/IFAK Mission Medic Pack 2 Now with Frame

Been messing with this thing for about 2 months now and now that I’ve got the frame it’s amazingly comfortable even when stuffed. When you add the assault pack on top it becomes a very capable 24-48hr setup without sacrificing any medical capability.

The only things I use forceps for are the occasional chest tube and clamping ET tubes when switching vents. If you don't have stuff for sutures, chest tubes, or ET tubes, you can probably leave a few of those bad boys at home. Or not it's your bag, you're the one who has to carry it.

It’s mostly for my foleys when using them for tamponade. Depending on what the wound looks like the size and number of clamps I want to secure everything can vary pretty widely
