SAK in a FAK

[magentus]

Do you keep a SAK in your FAK? Here's my FAK with an Explorer (for the scissors, mag and tweezers):



Along with the Explorer I have a pair of gloves, anti bac gel, a couple of dressings in different sizes, plasters, tape and anti bac wipes.

Do you have one and what's in it?

[hiraethus]

Not a FAK - I suppose you'd call it a 'possibles pouch' - but it does contain a basic set of plasters, wipes, steri-strips, micropore tape, gloves and some painkillers.  I've got a Swiss Card in mine - for the scissors, tweezers and pin - and a bunch of other useful stuff such as a lighter, spare light and battery, pens, sewing kit, duct tape and cache battery:

Nice! I like the sewing kit. With the ducttape I'm worried that it loses adhesion like that but I guess I'm wrong. I must add some to mine. Do you wrap it around itself?

What does FAK exactly means 

[hiraethus]

I think the sewing kit came from a hotel, years ago. Proved pretty useful, but I ought to add a sacking needle and some heavier thread.

The tape is wrapped around a piece of plastic, from a milk bottle I think. Seems sticky enough.

First Aid Kit.

Now ask me if I just started the thread because it rhymes with SAK?

I do keep a FAK with the usual contents. I don't presently have any knife in it because I always have one or more on me.  Having one in the kit is a pretty good idea though.

Ain't that a FAKt?

[Storky]

No medical based FAK more the EDC-FIRST-AID-PACK (Maxpedition Fatty).
No SAK inside but a Leatherman Juice. Does this count?

It's an all inclusive thread Storky - room for everyone. Nice set up man. 

[eamo]

No - due to cost and the number of FAKs i have - one in the car, a large one for the house, one for hiking and a small one for hill running/cycling and I usually have an MT on me anyway

So, that's an EDC-FAP?!

So you don't collect FAKs too?

I keep SAKs near my FAKs, not inside them. I must change that though (and take some pics maybe).

Hmm, are you suggesting a on the head with a SwissChamp as a remedy for cough, magentus?

Send me one and I'll bash myself on the head with it and then we will know the answer.

But... but... but I don't have one! I might consider getting one to send it over there, though, if tempted enough: tell me, magentus, will you be bashing yourself on the head with it tools open or closed? Will you be using a lanyard for extra inertia? Lastly, will you repeat the experiment, for science's sake?

Speaking as a founder member of the SWUK SAK Danger Club, it goes without saying that it will be tools out, standard 100mm lanyard, repeated 3 times for science.

Aha! wrong answer, I'm afraid.

I was expecting something like: front tools closed for more mass, back tools open for more pleasure impact...

I might just tell you some day

Currently, no.  The only thing I've got mine that can cut something is a pair of ADC Mini-Medicut trauma shears, plus the crappy undersized shears (blades aren't much bigger than those on 91mm scissors) the base kit I started with included, that I don't know why I haven't thrown them away yet.   

I plan to move to a bigger bag (other than the small toiletries bag I used originally), and then add a Rescue Tool to it if I can find one cheap used.   If the need ever becomes that I have to access someone entrapped, I will have this just in case.

I keep a Classic in mine.  I would like to stow an Explorer in mine since the mag glass could prove to be useful but I don't have a spare, YET

firiki seems to be giving free SAK's away at the moment - I'm getting a Swisschamp, he'll probably send you an Explorer if you ask nicely.
