Quick answer

To pack a K.I.S. Med Pack V2 for range or field use, organize your medical supplies into layers based on urgency, with the most critical items (tourniquet, hemostatic gauze) on top for immediate access, then seal and test the pouch.

Why the K.I.S. Med Pack V2 works for daily carry

The K.I.S Med Pack V2 is built around a simple idea: give everyone a realistic, affordable way to carry essential medical supplies every day. No overthinking, no overengineering—just a straightforward, reliable solution. Its tapered design and heavy-duty Cordura Nylon construction make it easy to remove gear smoothly, even under stress.

Trade-off: limited volume means smart choices

Because the pouch is compact, you cannot pack a full trauma kit. Prioritize life-threatening hemorrhage control (tourniquet, hemostatic gauze, pressure bandage) over boo-boo items. Skip bulky packaging—repack items in vacuum-sealed bags or small ziplocks to save space.

Steps to pack your K.I.S. Med Pack V2

Empty and inspect the pouch: Open the main zipper and remove any factory packing. Check the Squadron laminate and zipper track for defects. A damaged pouch can fail when you need it most. If the zipper snags or the laminate is peeling, replace the pouch before packing.
Layer by urgency: top layer for immediate threats: Place a tourniquet (e.g., CAT or SOF-T) and a hemostatic gauze (e.g., QuikClot) on top. These are the items you need in the first 60 seconds of a bleed. Fold the tourniquet so the windlass is accessible without digging. Common mistake: burying the tourniquet under other gear. Keep it on top.
Middle layer: secondary hemorrhage control: Add a pressure bandage (like an Israeli bandage) and a chest seal if you anticipate torso trauma. Roll the bandage tightly to fit. This layer supports the top layer if the first intervention fails or if there is a second wound. Leave the chest seal in its original package to keep it sterile.
Bottom layer: airway and minor care: Pack a nasopharyngeal airway (NPA), medical tape, and a small pair of trauma shears. These are lower priority but still critical in a prolonged field response. Tape the NPA to the inside of the pouch to prevent rolling. Shears should be accessible without unpacking the entire pouch—consider a clip-on holster.
Seal and test the pack: Close the zipper fully and press the pouch to confirm it is not overstuffed. Insert it into your intended carry location (belt, plate carrier, or pack) and practice drawing it 3 times. If it sticks, remove one item or repack more tightly. A pack that is too tight to draw under stress is worse than a slightly less stocked one.
