The pouches are long version of Trauma Pouch from ITS Tactical.
Pouch #1 -> Trauma Kit (marked with medical cross and red tab for easy recognition)
- Olaes Modular Bandage
- CELOX
- gloves, trauma shears
- chemical light stick (white) so that I'm never without emergency light
- bandaids, antibacteria swabs, small burns gel
- small antiallergy steroids for kids (just in case)
Pouch #2 -> Adrenaline Kit (black ITS logo pouch)
- EpiPen autoinjector for severe or life-threatening allergy reactions (after multiple bee bites in vital areas like neck etc.). I travel with small kids, who have never been bitten by a bee, so it's "just in case" device.
- I keep it in foam padded Peli case to protect against elements and overheating.
So that's it. My medical kit to deal with bleedings & allergy shocks. From small cust to life-threatening accidents on the trial. If I miss anything important - please, let me know.

Celox?? How about combat gauze as a better choice (personal experience)
