Title says it all. We are all issued IFAKs(Individual First Aid Kits). I have one and i am prepared to show you pictures of the things that come with it if you are interested.
If you want to keep using the dressing i can understand.

Please show photo's of everything inside of it etc.
A source link about the issued medic kit would help to.

I would like to see what they are using defiantly! But it will most likely not be worth making as from a gameplay perspective, the field dressing dose the same, basic job.
I've seen a British Field dressing, courtesy of Undies and its pretty damn close to what we have ingame

hehe, some times one of the devs gets board and feels like making something small like this so will be good to have the refs if we need them

I'm just happy looking at this Civony ad, looks **** but there's some good attached eye candy.
I can wait in this thread.

Wait... what does having a British field dressing have to do with the Bovington thing(besides both having to do with the British)? Anyway, I'm guess the IFAK is just like a little box (I'm guessing) with stuff like a small pair of scissors (because it's a first aid kit), bandages or something, and other stuff like morphine, or maybe moleskins for blisters? I don't know, but thats whats in my civilian first aid kit

Well... I don't have morphine.

Sadly there is no morphine
It has 2 gauze packs plus two quik clot gauze packs we were given. It has 2 H-bandages, 2 tourniquets, band aids, water purification tablets, burn gel dressings, quik clot, 2 triangle bandages, first aid antibiotic ointment, tape, and betadine.
Yep, quite a lot of **** which is why i thought it was kind of silly that all we have in game is some 1960s bandage dressing.
