TR: Comparing can be done. Rating is more difficult, depending on one’s criteria for “good” and “bad”. Let me give it some thought.

As for the College Boy – Nope. Virtually all post secondary schooling is technical, tactical, or soft skill development. In other words, I’ve got plenty of certificates, but no diplomas (not necessarily a good thing in my view, but that’s how I’ve played the game of life so far).

NDD: “You're making me look bad” - Nope, and anyone feeling otherwise just isn’t looking at the important stuff…

Jack Moroney: “Both kits could lie open or be hung vertically and all the items were visible thru mesh or lodged in elastic loops without having to open anything.”

Good point Sir, and while I spoke to this feature in my M-4 review, it was an oversight on my part in my recommended improvements for the Trauma Pack. The ability to hang in the open position is a desirable design feature that would benefit this pack. As it is, the interior pouches on the panel side would be upside down if hung.

“I guess my point here is that we are always looking for the right bag (ruck, aid bag, ammo pouch, etc) but with such a variety of environments and missions I don't ever see the ideal "one size fits all" ever being developed. We tailor our teams and equipment for missions, why not have the latitude to do the same for all the stuff we need to carry and get away from the cookie cutter approach.”

I agree that we are unlikely to see a medical pack that fits every person's needs. That said, one of the main things I like in this pack’s design is the fact that this bag is very flexible in terms of whether your want to fill it with removable pouches, or use the included mesh pockets. I've included a photo to support this argument.

52Bravo: Photos of C-collar now included.

All: Yes, I know my pulse Ox case is decidedly non-tactical...

Cheers.
