First aid bag in my jeep for camping and offroad

I recently bought a small hydration pack for long runs and training hikes. It happened to have a Molle system it was very small and light weight. I started thinking, gee if I could carry a first aid kit and a cook system, this could be a day pack for backpacking.

So I searched around for a Molle pouch that was a little bigger than my current fist aid kit which is bursting at the seams. I also wanted to get a pouch that could hold a Pocket Rocket canister stove along with fuel, my 24 oz pot, a canister stand, and eating utensils.

I ordered two of these pouches and they have worked out very well. One carries all my first aid gear comfortably and it's on the outside of the small pack where it's accessible rather than the inside. The other fits all my lightweight kitchen gear in one pouch with a little space left over.

The Molle system is really versatile and these pouches just enhance that versatility with the Velcro attachment. I can leave the two Velcro attachments on my small hydration pack permanently but simply rip these two pouches off in seconds if I'm just going for a run or a 3 hour training hike. If i want to use the small pack for a day pack, the pouches reattach as quickly as they came off. When I'm using my full size 110 liter backpack, these pouches get stowed inside since it's not a Molle compatible pack. But I still have a one pouch grab-n-go first aid kit and kitchen bag that keeps everything in one place.

These are well designed and manufactured. The fabric is 600 denier polyester. The zippers work smoothly and the pulls are nicely sized for easy grip. The Velco pad includes a security strap and snap buckle so you're not relying solely on the Velco to keep the pouch in place if it gets snagged by a tree limb or you slide down a rock face on your rear end. There's also a Velco strap at the top of the bag to hold it closed if the zipper pulls get snagged and pulled open. There's a reasonable number of pockets and pouches inside for a first aid kit. But they don't add much bulk if you're suing it as a general cargo pouch like I'm doing with my cook set.

Lastly, I bought the Coyote Brown color and it's true to the Coyote color. It doesn't match the hydration pack I bought but that was advertised as "Tan". It's close enough though. I'm not trying to impress anyone with my fashion sense.

A genuinely useful bag well suited to contain a mobile individual trauma kit"”something everyone around loaded firearms should have, and in today's world not a bad idea for everyone to have (even if you are not yet trained, you can make it available to someone who is). A tight fit to get in all the trauma basics, but when opened they are all readily identifiable and accessible. The bags small size and many attachment/detachment options make it easy to store in a small vehicle and much more likely to be readily accessed and taken along outside the vehicle"”which means everything when dealing with a major traumatic injury. Similarly, it is a good size to stow in or on a daypack or backpack, or even a large range bag. There are so many little features and design decisions that increase the utility of the bag, for example, the cinch strap also removes stress on the main zipper and is positioned such that small items attached to the outside (say a flashlight or shears attached with WebDominator clips) have a second "fail safe" hold down.
Materials and construction are amazingly good for the price, and should provide many years of service in all but the harshest environments. My bag came with one minor problem in that a single tooth of the main zipper was attached crooked to its zipper tape, likely a zipper supplier defect, not readily apparent so I don't fault Orca. I probably should have returned the bag for replacement (which I'm confident would have been handled without issue), but a little work with a needle-nosed pliers and the self healing zipper design, allowed me to put this bag to immediate use. It also attests to the basic ruggedness of the zipper.
I would seriously consider getting a second one of these in a contrasting color for use as minor injury/discomfort FAK (as opposed to individual major trauma kit), if I didn't already carry in my Jeep a large Unimed EMT Pack with an oxygen tank as a base camp kit, a Comprehensive Adventure Medical Kits bag repurposed as minor injury /medicine "booboo" kit (e.g., blisters, scrapes, headache, lost filling), a dedicated burn kit, and yet another bag specialized for dog emergency care (such as tubes and needles to treat bloat)"”yes, SAR missions and my personal adventures have put all of this to use.
In summary, this bag is an excellent choice to contain an individual major trauma kit or minor FAK"” I wouldn't hesitate to buy again or recommend to others this bag or seller.

The FAK arrived a day earlier than anticipated, which was great because I had a camping trip coming up and I REALLY wanted to have my IFAK together in time for the trip. LUCKILY, the only things I needed to retrieve from the IFAK on my trip were some rubbing alcohol (3.4oz bottle) to clean out a small cut on my finger, and my fold-up toothbrush that i keep in the black, mesh bag that's included in the kit. On that note: the mesh bag isn't attached to the kit when you get it, but there are loops inside the kit that you can easily attach the drawstring on the mesh bag to and I HIGHLY recommend doing this (unless you want that bag falling on the ground whenever you open the kit).I picked up the "multicam" pattern, which is more of a "forest" camo pattern than it is "multicam" and that's a bit disappointing, as I wanted to attach this IFAK to my plate carrier, but they don't match, and it kinda defeats the purpose of purchasing a "multicam" piece of kit if it doesn't match the rest of your camouflage. That being said, I just attached the IFAK to my EDC bag instead, and it works fine with the other mismatched pieces of kit that I've got attached to the bag. It's got more storage than you'll know what to do with, and that's something that I'm very pleased with; when it comes to first-aid, I don't want to have to pick and choose between items that I feel are necessary, simply because there isn't enough room in the container, and that's not a problem at all with the Orca Tactical MOLLE rip-away EMT kit. While we're on the subject, the "rip-away" feature was the main reason I purchased this particular kit over any other and, so far, I'm pleased to say that the hook and loop on this FAK works great and keeps everything nice and secure! The retention straps work great too, except the elastic on the buckle strap is really loose and doesn't keep the extra webbing snug very well. It wasn't a big deal though, and i just wrapped a rubber band around the elastic a few times to add some extra grip to it, and that fixed it right up! Some of the stitching was a little sloppily cut, but I singed the ends with a lighter and that took care of that issue in about 5 seconds.

All in all, I'd highly recommend picking up this piece of gear if you're looking to stuff a bunch of supplies into your IFAK and camo-matching isn't a big deal for you. IF you need this to be a perfect to your multicam plate carrier, I'd say that you might want to spend the extra $10 or so and get something else from Condor or something like that. However, I'll say again that, if camo-matching ISN'T a huge deal for you, I really don't think you'll find a better kit out there for the price that you'll pay for this one.

Excellent product. Reputation well deserved.
