Vehicle Trauma Kit — Personal IFAK
Serious Trauma Capability Without the Full-Size Bag
A basic first-aid kit is for everyday problems — cuts, scrapes, minor burns, and the usual stuff.
A trauma kit is more like a fire extinguisher: you carry it for the serious event you hope never happens.
They solve different problems, which is why both can belong in the same vehicle, pack, or gear setup.
The Rig Ready Gear Personal IFAK is a compact personal trauma kit built to put serious trauma supplies within reach without taking up the space of a full-size vehicle kit.
Its advantage is simple: it's compact enough to stay with the person.
Keep it in a:
- SxS / UTV
- Rock buggy
- Hiking pack
- Mountain-bike setup
- Hunting pack
- Range bag
- Backpack
- Compact get-home bag
At approximately 7" × 6" × 4" and 1.2 lb., it gives you more serious trauma capability in a package that's easy to keep close instead of leaving the medical gear back at the truck.
More capable than a basic first-aid kit. Compact enough to go where you go.

BUILT AROUND THE MARCH PRIORITIES
M — Massive bleeding
CAT-style tourniquet, Israeli Bandage, and compressed gauze provide options for addressing serious bleeding.
A — Airway
Nasopharyngeal airway provides an airway-management tool for trained users.
R — Respiration
Vented chest seal is included for penetrating chest injuries.
C — Circulation
Additional gauze, dressings, tape and support supplies help manage wounds and bleeding.
H — Hypothermia / Head injury
Emergency blanket helps reduce exposure and heat loss while waiting for help.
Proper training matters. This kit does not replace professional medical care.
WHY THIS ISN’T A DRUGSTORE FIRST-AID KIT
Most basic vehicle and drugstore first-aid kits are built around minor cuts, scrapes and burns.
This kit is different. Its core components are focused on serious trauma:
- major bleeding
- chest injuries
- airway emergencies
- wound packing and pressure
- exposure while waiting for help
It is not intended to replace a normal first-aid kit for everyday Band-Aid-level injuries. It fills the gap when the injury is more serious.
PERSONAL IFAK VS. FULL VEHICLE TRAUMA KIT
Personal IFAK — compact and portable
Best when space and weight matter.
Ideal for:
- SxS / UTV
- rock buggy
- hiking
- mountain biking
- hunting
- backpack
- range bag
- compact get-home bag
Built around the major trauma components in a compact pouch that can stay close to the person who may actually need it.
Full Vehicle Trauma Kit — broader vehicle coverage
Best when you have room for a larger, more comprehensive kit.
Ideal for:
- Jeep
- truck
- tow rig
- work vehicle
- shop
- family vehicle
- crew vehicle
Carries greater quantities and a broader supply mix for vehicle-level preparedness, multiple people, or larger incidents.
Neither kit replaces the other.
The Personal IFAK prioritizes portability and immediate access.
The Full Vehicle Trauma Kit prioritizes capacity and broader coverage.
VALUE IF PURCHASED SEPARATELY
Buying a quality tourniquet, chest seal, Israeli bandage, compressed gauze, airway, shears, pouch and the supporting supplies separately adds up fast. This kit packages the major trauma components together for $79.99 without making the customer source and assemble everything individually.
FAQ
What is a Personal IFAK?
A Personal IFAK is a compact individual trauma kit designed to stay close to the person carrying it. It is smaller than a full-size vehicle trauma kit and built for situations where space and portability matter.
It is a practical fit for SxSs, rock buggies, trail use, hunting packs, range bags, backpacks, mountain biking, and compact get-home setups.
Is this a trauma kit or a regular first-aid kit?
This is a trauma kit, not a basic first-aid kit.
A regular first-aid kit is typically built around minor everyday problems such as cuts, scrapes, blisters, and small burns. The Personal IFAK contains components intended for more serious injuries and can be carried alongside a regular first-aid kit because the two serve different purposes.
How is this different from a drugstore first-aid kit?
Most drugstore first-aid kits focus heavily on adhesive bandages, wipes, creams, and other supplies for common minor injuries.
The Personal IFAK is built around more serious trauma priorities and includes components such as a CAT-style tourniquet, Israeli Bandage, vented chest seal, compressed gauze, and other trauma supplies. It is not intended to replace every everyday first-aid item you may want to carry.
Who is the Personal IFAK for?
It is for people who want compact trauma gear that can stay with them instead of being left behind in a larger vehicle or medical bag.
Typical users include SxS and rock-buggy drivers, trail wheelers, hunters, hikers, mountain bikers, range users, and anyone building a backpack or compact get-home setup.
Where should I keep it?
Keep it somewhere accessible and easy to reach, not buried under cargo or gear.
Common locations include a SxS, rock buggy, backpack, hunting pack, range bag, trail bag, or compact get-home bag. The goal is to keep the kit close to the person when a larger vehicle trauma kit would be impractical to carry.
Is it small enough for a SxS, rock buggy, backpack, range bag, or hunting pack?
Yes. The Personal IFAK is approximately 7" × 6" × 4" and 1.2 lb., making it suitable for tight storage spaces and portable gear setups.
It is specifically positioned for applications such as SxSs, rock buggies, backpacks, range bags, hunting packs, hiking gear, and compact trail or get-home setups.
Does it replace the Full Vehicle Trauma Kit?
No. The two kits are designed for different roles.
The Personal IFAK prioritizes portability, individual carry, and tight spaces. The Full Vehicle Trauma Kit prioritizes greater capacity and is better suited to Jeeps, trucks, tow rigs, work vehicles, family vehicles, shops, and crew vehicles.
For many customers, the Personal IFAK and Full Vehicle Trauma Kit can complement each other rather than replace one another.
What are the major components?
Major components include a CAT-style tourniquet, 4" Israeli Bandage, vented chest seal, compressed gauze, non-adherent gauze pads, triangular bandage, trauma shears, NPA with lubricant, gloves, tape, self-adhering wrap, emergency blanket, and supporting supplies.
The kit is organized in a compact trauma pouch for portable storage and access.
Do I need medical training to use it?
Training is strongly recommended.
Some components, including tourniquets, chest seals, and airway equipment, require proper knowledge and judgment to use appropriately. Carrying trauma gear does not replace medical training, professional medical care, or emergency services.
