Condor Rip-Away IFAK Pouch

Here are a few of the essential features a quality IFAK should include:

Tear Away IFAK Pouches

These IFAK pouches should detach quickly from the main kit so you can get what you need rapidly. IFAK pouches should also be MOLLE compatible to add to the outside of a survival backpack.

Well Laid Out Interior

When you open up your IFAK, the layout inside needs to be well organized. Separate zipped areas, pouches, and compartments can separate your items. That way, you don’t have to fumble through a pile of stuff to find what you need.

Robust Handles and Straps

You need to react fast to a survival situation, and bugging out can happen quickly. Robust handles on your pack are vital for rapid moves. You may have to grab and go fast and run for a long distance. Having straps to wear your IFAK as a backpack or fanny pack will keep it secure on your body.

Compact and Lightweight

You don’t need a bulky, heavy bag to carry around. Your IFAK should only contain the essentials you need for the situation. The easier it is to pack, the more likely you will bring it along on all your adventures.
