Elite First Aid has been building pre-packed medic and trauma kits since 1995 out of Wake Forest, North Carolina. Acme United acquired the company in 2024, putting it in the same family as Pac-Kit without changing the formula of real supplies organized for fast access. Every kit here sits on our first aid kits shelf.
Spend enough time around sharp steel and you will bleed. It happens on the strop, closing a flipper with a lazy thumb, carving feather sticks, or chasing a toothy edge off the stones you picked up from our sharpening supplies. The knife nut who puts real money into a folder and nothing into a kit has the priorities backwards. Butterfly closures, a compress bandage, and a pair of gloves keep a deep slice from ending the day.
Field dressing means a razor sharp edge, slick hands, and cold fingers working inside a body cavity, often miles from the truck. The Tactical Trauma Kit 1 rides on a belt and packs a bleedstop bandage, EMT shears, butterfly closures, burn gel, and a tourniquet. The Rapid Response Bag adds a 12 by 30 inch multitrauma dressing and a hemostat on MOLLE straps that fit a belt or pack. Either one belongs next to your hunting knife.
On the trail, blisters outnumber knife wounds. The Hiker Kit is a red nylon fanny pack with three compartments holding bandage strips, triple antibiotic, iodine wipes, an instant ice pack, and an elastic wrap for a rolled ankle. The New Platoon fits a single pocket nylon case for day packs, and the General Purpose Kit rides in a water tight military style box for the vehicle or base camp. For dedicated backcountry kits, Adventure Medical covers the ultralight end, and the rest of the trail loadout lives in our outdoor survival gear.
Both the Tactical Trauma Kit 1 and the Rapid Response Bag carry a tourniquet, bleedstop dressings, and EMT shears in layouts you can work one handed under stress. The New Platoon is the budget individual first aid kit for a range bag or glovebox. Pair one with a survival knife and the kit covers the problem the knife creates.
