I was extremely happy with my purchase, the way it came and how it was packed all nice and tidy, like opening you’re hotel room door for the first time! Sadly, after further examination of everything that came in this “PREMIUM SUPPLY LIST” it came to my attention that one of the most important LIFE SAVING DEVICES that is not very expensive, but comes in almost every single EDC Trauma Kit that I’ve seen or purchased is some form of a TOURNIQUET!!!! With the amount of money I spent on this EDC kit it should have come with one without any question!! With this kit having everything for treating either yourself or a trauma victim the absence of a TOURNIQUET is absolutely unbelievable and makes me question just exactly how much trauma the people behind putting this EDC Trauma kit together have actually seen or been victims. Now, after spending over $100.00 for this now I have to purchase a tourniquet to add to it!! I’m shocked about this. Yes, I can make a tourniquet out of almost anything, but having one that is made for the actual application is much easier in a life or death situation to use than having to take a few seconds off of saving a life to think about what you have, what your wearing, and whats around you that you can use in order to make a tourniquet to stop massive arterial bleeding. The first thing that anyone and everyone should put in any type of first aid kit, IFOK, IPOK, or an EDC Trauma kit is a tourniquet of some type! It does not matter if its made out of rope, string or whatever as long as it is said to work SPECIFICALLY as a tourniquet due to the drastic amount of pressure that the materials will be under to stop the massive bleeding thats fine!! At least you have one. Even having put a 3foot piece of rope and a figure 8 hook in this bag to make a tourniquet out of would have been fine, but not having one at all after putting the amount of stuff thats in the EDC and also that NO ONE EVEN STOPPED TO THINK ABOUT IT is unreal and that is the reason I am giving it one star! TIP for the owners of MyMedic at least put a SWAT-T in these because just applying the clotting packets on even just a minor injury to the naked eye may actually need the application of a tourniquet in order just to move a person to an area where professional medical assistance can be rendered otherwise one may find themselves in a situation where life or death choices have to be made and doing something like that and choosing wrong could end up with two fatalities instead of just one. If ya’ll decide to include a tourniquet of any kind I would highly appreciate being sent one ASAP and in exchange I will change/take down this review.

Love everything about my Recon bag, thankfully I have not had to use it on any of my adventures but it sure is nice knowing I have it if I do. Also I love the fact you are helping the Veterans nonprofit Continue Mission. Amazing product!!!

I love my MyMedic products. I've geared up my wife's vehicle, my own and Atv. I've geared up my packs for shooting and hunting outings. Excellent quality and I hope I never have to use them, but if and when I do, I should be supplied to increase my chances of safety and security. Thank you MyMedic!

I purchased the bag only, which itself is fine. Seems like decent quality, and it's laid out fairly well. However, it turns out that they are just reselling someone else's bag for double the price.

I purchased two kits in December with my Medical Reimbursment account and can find a receipt that they are requesting and I cant get anyone to respond to my request with their contact form for a duplicate for me to print. I have been trying for over a week now. I can't loggin to my account either. The produce is great just wish I could get someone to help in customer service after the fact. Sure hope it isnt this hard if you had to file a claim on the lifetime warranty.
