My Medic wants to make the toughest, most-accessible-to-anyone first aid kits on the planet. They want to make the tools needed to save lives, available and ready to use, wherever you are. That’s a tough job for anyone, especially considering the rigors most quality first aid kits are put through already. But that was My Medic’s goal, and it looks like they’ve gone about getting it done. Exhibit A: The My Medic MyFAK.

The MyFAK is a backpack first aid kit designed to be taken and used anywhere – out in the backcountry, at the beach, or at a ball game at the park. They wanted a bag that was indestructible, reliable and intuitive to use, and the MyFAK is the result.

The bag is a 600D nylon that is weatherproof, waterproof, and built to last, with a heavy-duty carry handle and MOLLE webbing. It mounts to an instant access rip-away Velcro panel, which lets you strap it to your car, bike, back of your pack, whatever. It’ll be waiting, and you can just tear it off and get to work. There are also d-rings in case you’d like to mount it to a shoulder strap and carry it that way. The whole thing is ANSI-rated and OSHA-approved.

Two levels of the MyFAK are available; Basic and Premium. You can choose whichever you feel you need, and you can also purchase the bag without the contents. The Basic weighs 2.46 pounds, while the Premium weighs 3.21 pounds

Also, it’s backed up by MyFAK’s lifetime warranty. Whichever level you pick, it’s clearly a comprehensive kit  applicable for hiking trips or in your bug-out bag. It may also be a good idea to brush up on your First Aid Kit, or maybe take a training course, too.
