More or less something I picked up for work; Im an EMT/Firefighter for two Fire Departments in SE Michigan. Currently the bag is stocked to my licensure level and training (Basic Life Support). I was running an LBT 1562B before getting this bag in April, however, I wanted something a little bit more modular that didnt have pre sewn elastic loops etc. Ive always been a fan of the Mystery Ranch Rapid Access Trauma System (RATS) pack and I so I bit the bullet and picked one up. Im not a fan of Coyote Brown or Foliage Green and the red seemed too bright for my taste which is why I ended up with a Multicam version. That and it makes ID'ing whos bag it is on scene a lot easier as Im the only one that I know of in my service area with anything MC =P

Contents - Front of Bag:
Elastic Loops - x2 CAT Tourniquets
Right Pouch - BP Cuff, Glucometer with Oral Glucose/Lancets, and Gloves
Left Pouch - OPA's and CPR Mask
Bottom Pouch - x4 5x9 ABD Pads, x20 4x4 Gauze Pads, x4 Compressed Gauze Rollers, and x2 Kerlix Rolls.
Contents - Tear Out Pouches (Red, Yellow and Green):
x2 6 Inch NARP Emergency Trauma Dressings
x3 NARP Compressed Gauze
x1 Hyfin Vent Chest Seal
x1 Tourniquet (x2 SOFT - Wide, x1 CAT Orange).
x1 Kerlix Roll
*Contents above in each pouch
Contents - Tear Out Pouch (Blue Handle/AIRWAY):
x1 Set OPAs, x1 Non Rebreather Mask, x1 Nasal Cannula, x1 Hyfin Vent
Contents - IV Pouches (Splinting Pouches)
x1 SAM Splint, x2 Triangle Bandages, x1 ACE Wrap, x2 Compressed Gauze Rollers.
My thinking behind the lay out is for a mass casualty incident. Each pouch is set up the same and can be handed out if need be. Still need to get a couple more tourniquets and chest seals but for the most part its loaded the way that I would like. Also need a couple NPAs and possibly a pocket BVM. Advantage for me over the LBT pack is I can store the same amount of stuff (even a little more) in a smaller package and I have my most used items (BP Cuff, Glucometer, Gauze etc) in the front where I can get to them without even having to open the bag. But so far I love the pack. Construction wise, it blows every company out of the water, even LBT...which Im surprised to say.
