Where's the trauma kit? This can't stop traumatic or severe bleeding. You need at least 1 tourniquet and 1 pressure bandage or elastic band. A 4-inch Tactical Medical Solutions wrap would fit perfectly in this pack. It comes well-packaged as a roll, with Velcro and clips at the end. Excellent pressure and stays on secured. Otherwise a 4-inch, flat-packed North American Rescue ETD (Emergency Trauma Dressing, the green package kind). Easy to use, superior pressure compared to an Israeli bandage, and minimum cube space (for the length of wrap you get compared to the competition).
Thanks...it's been a solid kit for me...it sparked some interesting questions that I'm thinking I will cover in a follow up video. Do you think it's an issue having gear in the pouch that contains my med kit? Does that make it confusing to you?
I feel like the bands needs to start tight as it could loose elasticity over time. Vanquest uses really good stuff, so hopefully it's not an issue. But you'll get used to the function as you use it. Enjoy it... it's a great organizer!
Really cool pack literally just put the exact pack a couple days back on my wish list except coyote.The hydra knife and patches look sick👍🏻.The copper bead reminded me I just got the copper Hinderer spiral investigator pen with the bronzed titanium warhead end piece for cracking skulls really cool.
Those are the straps from KUIU hunting packs...I'm pretty sure that's what I had in that video. You might be able to buy them as accessories on their website.
I don't know, just a question. Do you think it is a good idea to have 75% of your First Aid Trauma Pack supplied with non-First Aid items, such as your microphone, cables, batteries and power bank, spoon, toothbrush, fire starting kit and coffee and so on. If it's you that goes down and someone on the trail walks up to you and sees you unconscious and bleeding then notices your marked First Aid Trauma Pack attached to your backpack, that person will be confused when they open it and find it supplied with 75% non-First Aid items. I think that your kit will make that person very unsure that this kit is actually a First Aid kit at all and may disregard it as something that could help you in a safety emergency. My First Aid kit that I carry is clearly marked First Aid and all of its contents are items to assist anyone in an emergency First Aid situation. Your First Aid Trauma Pack totally confuses me.
That's a fair point, and I can't object with your logic at all. However, I think my response is basically this... First off, the video is about how I chose to use the pouch and less about the kit. And I also explained that I am not using it for solely medical supplies. Even if the kit was in the middle of the bag, would someone have to dig through it to find medical supplies? YEP, they would, but does that make them confused? Maybe they don't know I have supplies in the first place? But the way I have the pouch marked, indicates that inside that pouch is where my supplies are located. When I'm out in the back country, I'm always with a group that I know and trust. They have their own kits as well as mine. I'm not saying that we coordinate supplies, but as a group we are well covered and we know that. My group would 99% of the time go to their own kit first to administer first aid, rather than going through my kit. They know what they have and what they can do... my kit is a wild card to them. But for me, I know what I have and what I can accomplish with my kit. If I'm knocked out on the trail, we got some serious issues other than a little confusion about supplies. But I believe, in my opinion, the markings appropriately indicate the location to find supplies and that's better than the confusion I would have digging through other people's bags with supplies stashed in little sandwich bags in some little pocket somewhere!
@@outerlimitless It was just questions to my observation. I believe if some one visually marks something as a First Aid Kit, the contents of that kit should represent the markings. I would not look in your fire kit for Triangular Bandage, Pressure Bandage and Band-aids nor would I look in your First Aid kit for Fat wood, Ferro Rod or Flint as an example. If I mark something as my Fire kit, it's my Fire kit, and so it should be with your First Aid Kit. I know you are just utilizing the extra space in your First Aid kit to house other supplies. My opinion is, I believe you shouldn't.
I have found most of their gear to be excellent. My only wish is that they would integrate their products better, like for example making specific pouches to fit their bags more specifically or adding velcro to the inside of the FATPack to accept their sticky panels...things like that. But there's no denying the durability and quality of their gear.

Why don't you have a vanquest markhor 45? That fat pack would compliment it well. And it has good bottom lashing points.
Awesome organizer and layout!

No confusion here! Like it all in one
Very nice kit and very nice pouch. Vanquest rocks....Lol
Thanks man...yes, Vanquest is awesome...they are a really great brand.
I love banquets products
Vanquest gear is wonderful!
I just got the from 6x9 on Friday it's great but I find some of the elastic is to tight. Still a great pack banquets is awesome!

does the pouch come with those straps you used on the bottom?
No...those straps are Kuiu system straps.
Hi where I can buy the straps you put at the button of your vanquest?

Thank you for the comment though...I never really thought carefully about this and you're making a great observation
