Spotlight: first aid kit
MyMedic MyFAK Standard First Aid Kit, 100+ Supplies, Modular, MOLLE
If you want one first aid kit for the house, the car or a go bag that you can actually find things in when your hands are shaking, this is it. More than 100 supplies, including real medications, sorted into color-coded modules you can pull out and hand to someone. It covers everyday injuries and illness. For serious bleeding, add a tourniquet or step up to the MyFAK Pro.
Why it earns the spotlight
Organized for a bad moment
The kit opens like a book, with removable, color-coded modules for bleeding, burns, medications, blisters and sprains. You can grab the burn module and hand it to someone else while you work.
Real medications, not just bandages
Single-dose pouches of pain relievers, anti-diarrheal, heartburn, cold and flu, motion sickness and anti-itch treatments. These are the things that end a trip or a long outage early, and most bandage-only kits skip them.
Built to ride anywhere
A tough nylon pouch with a MOLLE panel, a removable hook-and-loop panel for mounting in a car and a shoulder strap. It lives as comfortably in a trunk as on a pack.
Room to grow
There is space to add your own prescriptions and extras, and the modules make it easy to see what you've used and need to restock.

Questions people ask
What is in the MyMedic MyFAK Standard?
More than 100 supplies: gauze and bandages, wound closure strips, burn gel and dressing, single-dose medications, antiseptics and creams, a finger splint and elastic wrap, an instant cold pack, and tools including shears, tweezers, a penlight, a thermometer and a CPR shield.
Does the MyFAK Standard include a tourniquet?
No. The Standard covers everyday injuries and illness. For serious bleeding, choose the MyFAK Pro, which includes a tourniquet and chest seals, or add a tourniquet to the Standard.
MyFAK Standard or MyFAK Pro: which should I buy?
Both use the same organized pouch. Choose the Standard for everyday injuries and illness at home, in the car or on the trail. Choose the Pro if you want trauma supplies for serious bleeding, ideally with training to use them.
MyFAK Standard or MyFAK Large?
The Large has more supplies in a bigger pack, which suits a family or a group. For one or two people, or for a car or go bag, the Standard is the better fit.
How does the MyFAK compare with AMK first aid kits?
AMK kits are lighter and cost less, and they are a great choice for a day pack. The MyFAK carries more, including a wider range of medications, and its removable modules make it easier to find things fast.
Can I add my own supplies?
Yes. There is room for prescriptions and personal items, and the removable modules make it easy to see what needs restocking.
How do I mount it in a car?
Use the removable hook-and-loop panel to attach it to a seat back or trunk liner, or strap it to MOLLE webbing on a pack or seat cover.
Do the medications expire?
Yes. Check the dates once a year and replace anything expired, along with anything you have used.
