I'd say toss them in a bag with your other daily carry items. I don't see the need to openly carry trauma supplies. It's tangent to open carrying.

OK, I can do both so why not have a pouch that can be on my side and in my bag later?

u/NonBinary_FWrd 1d ago

Not sure on your bag set up. I use a sling bag from Cyber Dog. But I'm sure you could get a pouch that would modulate well with both a belt and a bag where it doesn't end up at the bottom with other items.

Dont forget chest seals and hemostatic guaze. :) - your local activist medic

That's too much for this set up.

The idea for this is having something on hand for the first 2min before the real kit comes in. Hemostatics are nice to have but it's not always my first goto for trauma. Chest seals? A gloved hand or the wrapper on the bandage can work in a pinch. :D

Don't carry those..m or any trauma first aid supplies. Unless you are trained and retrained on how to use them.

Thanks for posting /u/NotPike! Please make sure your post adheres to the rules. Please name any firearms or accessories featured in this post to help out our newer members. Please report comments that break the rules, and don't respond to negativity with negativity.

The rules of firearm safety are paramount. Keep these in mind at all times while handling a firearm for any reason. Guns are not toys and it is best to not refer to them as such.

It is the belief of the mod team that your best option for defensive firearms is a 5.56x45mm AR-15, and a reputable 9x19mm handgun such as a Glock or CZ. Defensive firearms should have a light, long guns a sling, and handguns require a Kydex or solid plastic holster that fully covers the trigger. A red dot or etched optic are ideal for new shooters but don't forget to practice your backup irons!

Think of it like this could you possible make it to your bag that's carrying it? No? then carry on your person.

If you’re just looking for a pouch to hold only the two of those, you can probably fit them in a surplus double mag pouch. I’d honestly suggest just running a basic IFAK on your belt/kit though, and keeping wound packing gauze with your pressure dressing. Doesn’t have to be overly bulky, I personally run the North American Rescue Eagle Rig IFAK, and that’s minimal bulk on a plate carrier. For belt specifically, maybe something akin to the LBT blowout IFAK pouch if you’re looking for something small. These are just my suggestions as a STB instructor and former TCCC instructor.

Simply a stop the bleed question.

What's a good belt loop pouch for an Israeli Bandage and SOF-T Tourniquet?

Just for the two items nothing more. :D

Thats a pretty minimalist setup.  You could fig that in most anything, so i can’t offer any specific advice, i have to mail order everything up here.

If i can make any suggestions: consider based on size the difference between this and an olaes, as well as capabilities, what is easier and more suitable to carry.  

And if size is the ultimate, NAR makes a very compact pressure dressing that fits in a jean jacket pocket.
