I’m curious, what are you using for blow out kits pouches on your gear? I have been using a DBT Small GP pouch on one rig for a couple of years now. Its been working well, but I need to get a couple more for some other things.
Does anyone make one that has a velcro strip on the outside so that something like a Red Cross patch, NKA patch, or Blood type patches can be affixed?
I’m using TT medical pouches with a red “sharpie” cross drawn on them.
I’m using an EMDOM B.O.M.B. Blow Out Medical Bag with a “Grobes” latex glove carrier on the front. It has velcro on the front for blood type, etc.
On a side note, I like to keep my tourniquet separate from my blowout kit. The reason is I don’t want be digging through my med kit while I’m spraying blood out of my femoral artery.
this is the Cellphone/GPS pouch from Kifaru, it is perfect for holding a tourniquet(on the front of your kit so the bulk of your blowout kit can be on the back or side).

The ATS Brand Medical Pouches (small) has a velcro strip on top to attach the above mentioned patches…
I use the HSGI “Bleeder” pouch on my gear.
ATS Med Pouch is the way to go, IMHO. Just picked one up and I am very impressed. The small is about the size of the Eagle med pouch, but the ATS incorporates a “breakaway” feature. Really a nice setup.

and a red sharpie
This one is pretty nice, it tears away from the vest via a red nylon handle on top(not visible in the pic)…and has a space for your little red cross.
