Be prepared.

Dr. Lassey has been interested in preparedness and wilderness medicine for years, and over the last several years has refined his Tactical First-Aid Kit ("Tac-FAK").  This pack is designed to prepare you for the majority of first aid needs when you're on the trail, on a campout, riding the creek, or even at home--but without huge size or weight. His kit includes tools not found in traditional kits, that prepare you for minor surgical emergencies and more.

​

Of course there is no "perfect" first aid kit; there's always a difficult balance between weight/size and preparedness. The bigger the pack, the more you're prepared for, but the less portable it becomes. Dr. Lassey's Tac-FAK strikes the perfect balance, weighing in just under 2 pounds, and is easily fits in or lashes on almost anywhere. His pack offers the most preparedness he could squeeze into 2-pounds. For years Dr. Lassey made packs for his patients, and now Tac-FAK's are available to everyone. The Tac-FAK is right at home in any Bug-out/Get-home bag, hiking pack, ATV box,  car trunk, truck box, glove box, camper, hunting lodge, cabin, safe room or camper.
