The MyMedic Everyday Carry is MyMedic's most portable trauma kit, a palm-sized pouch carrying the core supplies for serious bleeding and chest wounds. Inside are a RATS tourniquet, QuikClot hemostatic gauze, a 4 inch emergency pressure bandage and a two-pack of vented chest seals. It is built for people with basic first aid training who want trauma coverage that goes everywhere; a Stop the Bleed course is recommended.

How it compares
The Everyday Carry is the smallest MyMedic trauma kit; the TFAK adds shears, a space blanket, a CPR shield, an airway and wound closure devices in a larger pouch. For everyday cuts and blisters rather than trauma, pair it with the Sidekick or a MyFAK, and if you want the same idea from another maker, the AMK Trauma Pak Pro and True Rescue Personal STB Kit are similar in purpose.
