This is my third kit. I am a firearms instructor and I teach self defense. I keep one in my range bag, one in my vehicle, and one at home. Quality product with everything you need and nothing you don't.
Truly a quality kit that can and will save a life. Compact, easy to carry. All you need is the training to use it.

D.A.R.K Trauma Kit
I bought this as a gift for a NYC EMT friend of mine I hope she never has to use it. But after retiring from the NYPD in 2018 I know if she does have to use it it is everything you need and nothing you don’t. This kit is great for concealed carry holders, if your going to the range and for every day carry or your go bag. Plug the holes save a life kit! Highly recommend it !

D.A.R.K. TRAUMA KIT

EDC Bag
Bought the D.A.R.K. kit to keep on my every day carry backpack. You never know when the contents of this small, unobtrusive, complete kit will be needed.

Pricy, but definitely quality
Definitely one of the more expensive kits I have found, but it is also the highest quality kit that I have seen yet. I work in heavy industry, and it is definitely worth it for the peace of mind alone. The basic first aid kits at work won't hold up to the possible wounds that we could get working here, and having a quality tourniquet will 100% save a life if it ever needs to be used. Steel is sharp and sometimes people forget that. My only complaint is that it has to go on a thigh or chest rig, its fairly awkward on a belt. Other than that, the bag itself is very high quality

DARK trauma kit
Kit was better than expected and well constructed. It is everything you could ask for in a trauma kit. There are no short cuts in quality and something I will always carry ITV to the range and have near me at home and out in the community.

D.A.R.K. Trauma Kit
It's a great IFAK with the basic essentials for all my trips to the range as well as my EDC.

Nice kit
Has everything it should. Quality items. Very nice compact kit, good accessibility. I would prefer it with a good belt clip in addition to the Molle webbing - I don’t plan on having it always attached to a pack.

Top Quality Kit
I am not an expert, but I know one who I trust to have my back... Doc ( to me) is a old chief Navy corpsman (HMC) who made a few trips to the sandbox with the corps. Doc checked your kit for me . Gave his nod of approval, tossed it back and asked where I got it. " it has what ya need when the shtf... Doc has used this type gear for what is intended for when it counted, It passed his inspection and that is good enough for me!.
