Introducing the Direct Action Response Kit (DARK) - the ultimate trauma kit that stands as our #1 best-seller. When it comes to stopping the bleed, the DARK is unrivaled in its effectiveness. Trusted by military, law enforcement, and agencies worldwide, it thrives even in the harshest conditions.
Designed for everyday use, the DARK is a versatile companion that excels in various settings. Whether you're on the road, exploring the great outdoors, or working in schools or offices, this kit has got you covered.
Key Features:
- External Tourniquet for immediate access in critical situations
- Pull handle for lightning-fast deployment when seconds count

- External shears for added convenience
The D.A.R.K. Complete Kit includes a specially designed pouch with shear retention straps on both sides and a 1" PVC Medic patch. Alongside trauma shears and the Gen 7 CAT, the kit comprises vacuum-sealed components, such as:
- 1 x Pair of HALO Vented Seals
- 1 x Hemostatic Gauze (QuikClot Combat Gauze Civ, LE, MIL, or ChitoGauze XR Pro)
- 1 x NPA**
- 1 x Emergency Bandage
- 1 x Compressed Gauze
- 1 x Pair of Nitrile Gloves
- 1 x Mylar Blanket
- 1 x Polycarbonate Eye Shield
For civilians, the kit includes all the above-mentioned contents.
The LE/FR level features the same components as the Civilian Standard level but upgrades to the QuikClot Combat Gauze LE hemostatic gauze (12') for added efficacy.
The ChitoGauze XR Pro level includes the same components as the LE version but upgrades to the ChitoGauze XR Pro hemostatic gauze (12').
The MIL-SPEC Version matches the LE version but takes it a step further by including the QuikClot Combat Gauze MIL, TCCC Casualty Documentation Tool, and a ARS Decompression Needle.
All kits offer the option to upgrade to RipShears, a superior alternative to standard trauma shears.
Additionally, you have the choice to substitute the CAT with the highly regarded SOFTT-W tourniquet.
Please note: The MIL version includes the advanced practice medical device, the ARS Decompression Needle, which can only be utilized by appropriately licensed individuals. By purchasing the MIL "level" kit, you affirm that you are a medically licensed individual authorized to obtain this kit.
Dimensions: 3" x 3.5" x 8" | Weight: 17 oz (add 1.5 oz for optional Pouch Insert)
DARK P.I. (Pouch Insert): If you prefer not to have your components vacuum-sealed in a 5 mil poly bag, we offer the option of substituting the pouch insert. The D.A.R.K. P.I. (Pouch Insert) keeps your emergency components within easy reach for quick access. Its robust nylon construction includes elastic bands sewn inside to secure the components, while the red pull handles ensure swift deployment from your D.A.R.K. or D.A.R.K. Slim Pouch. Once deployed, simply unfold the insert, and all your products are readily available for immediate use.
Please note: The original photo showcases the DARK with upgrades such as the TQ Holder and the Rip-away panel, which can be added separately for enhanced functionality.

Excellent trauma kit
Civilan user here. Purchased one with my DART training course, all of the components are top notch. The pouch rides easily on the side of my daily use backpack.

Must have product
L.E. here. I carry this IFAK(+ extra TQ) while on duty and for my personal rig. It has all the essentials. Great quality overall!

Perfect IFAK
Fits perfectly on my PC and in my backpack without any unnecessary bulk. Should handle all of the exterior trauma needs I might encounter when treating bleeding. I'm buying the ankle pack next.

DARK kit review
Outstanding kit! Well made quality pouch, top notch med items. I am well pleased. In hindsight I probably would have gone with the DARK SLIM just to reduce the profile while carrying on my belt but its not a big issue for me. Easily goes everywhere with me. Thank you for your commitment to provide top quality med kits for EDC.

Just what I needed.
As a private security contractor, I sometimes spend 10-12 hours in full plates riding in a chase vehicle. My old hodge podge IFAK was too bulky and had too much extra crap. My DARK kit is much smaller, fits my plate carrier better and only has bare essentials. I up ordered to the mil-spec kit, and couldn't be happier. It's pricey, but the obvious build quality and fact that it's filled with actual name brand equipment (not some cheap knockoff) tells me I got what I paid for. Also, my kit wss in my hands less than 72 hours after order. I'm recommending this kit to everyone on my team.

medkit awesome!
I got one of these to go on my battle belt for the range and this was the best choice I could have ever made going with this company. I have looked at few others but not any of them was like these! Everything I needed ready to rock and roll plus it wasn't long to get here when it was shipped. So if your looking at getting one for yours then this is the choice you need to make is these guys! Amazing and keep up the great work!!

Just what you must have if you are serious about shooting.
Like the man says ...everything you need and nothing you don't! A must have if you are ever around any gunfire. Would not go to the range without one. Quality product with an outstanding delivery method.

Review
Amazing product. Love everything it comes with, the only negative I have is that it does not come with molle straps, it has the slots but not the straps.

Awesome Compact Kit
This is by far the top compact trauma kit on the market. The size is just right for hiking, putting in a range bag and to have on you for daily use. The contents are quality and can be used for a variety of medical situations.

Awesome compact kit
I looked into several different compact trauma kits and the DARK Gen 4 is definitely top of the line. I was looking for a compact kit to have with me at all time weather it be hiking, camping, at the range or just driving around. From my years of emergency medical experience, I know the contents are quality and can be used for a variety of situations. these are great all around kits and have a little extra room for additional gloves and bandages.

OUTSTANDING! I will carry this kit with confidence. The handwritten Thank You from "Hot Sauce" further proves this is a top shelf company too. Many thanks.
