How it compares
The Recon is the step up from the MyFAK Large when you want a backpack that holds more and carries comfortably. The Recon Pro adds trauma supplies such as a tourniquet, QuikClot and chest seals; with this Standard version, add a SOF Tactical Tourniquet or a True Rescue Stop the Bleed kit. For a large group, the MyMedic Scout carries far more, including trauma gear.
