I've been running an ankle med-kit for the past two years and plan to continue to do so as long as I carry a gun. >"If you have the means to make holes, you should have the means to plug holes." My first kit was the economical Disruptive EDC (in green) that I have worn most of the time for the past (2) years. The second kit I recently picked up is the North American Rescue EDC kit that I've been wearing for the past week. The North American Rescue Kit and it's enclosed pouches will keep the kit cleaner and better protected, but at the cost of size and fit. Even though I've not had any issues with the Disruptive Kit loosing anything, it just seemed like a good idea to have enclosed pouches. The Disruptive Kit tends to get ragged looking after a year and started to get hole in the bottom of the pockets from rubbing on the tops of my boots. Adding some duct tape allowed them to be fully functional again, albeit ugly. You can put quite a bit of gear in them and they remain pretty slim-lined. Where the NAR EDC Kit is much fatter due to the built in padding. The NAR EDC seems a tad more comfortable where it rides on the leg due to the padding, but the overall experience is fouled by the interference between the pant leg and the kit. It does not hide the same amount of kit as well as the Disruptive EDC V2.

If I were to remove a few items it would fit better, but I like the current list of tools and would rather not do with less on me. My recommendation is still the [Disruptive EDC V2 Ankle Medical Kit](https://www.afionline.net/disruptive-edc-v2-ankle-medical-kit.html) for "best Bang For Buck" by far for $40.00. <br><br> ~~~ FYI: Wearing any ankle kit will cause the tops of your boots to wear also, the constant rubbing of the kit riding on top IS going to have that affect on any boots/shoes so it might not be an option for you if that's a concern. It does allow a good amount of aide kit to be on you at all times though. ~~~ --- # REFUGE MEDICAL https://refugemedical.com/products/ankle-kit?variant=45293124092120 ($129.99) My new favorite and final answer is the loaded model from Refuge. I only added the Leatherman shears and a 28FR w/ lube. The wrap alone is the highest costing of the three at $129.99 empty, but it is by far IMO the best design. For another $70 it comes loaded with the following:  While I could change out a few items, I think they have nailed it. Combat gauze is really not needed and ER Docs will appreciate you stuffing holes with plain gauze instead of anti-coagulant gauze as it's a mess to clean up I hear, and higher care is always 15 min max away from anyplace I might use this kit. The simple gauze bandage and some tape can do a lot for most non-life threatening injuries. A real tourniquet is a must, and the Esmark Bandage (smaller SWAT-T) is multi-purpose tool I like to have with me as most bleeding can be stopped with one and some gauze. I like that they have a Vent & Seal in their kit unlike all the others that use HyFlin seals only. Having an auto-valve makes it a stick-it and forget operation, unlike two seals that require manual burping or an auto-burp setup. In reality, in town with a short timeline to getting to higher care, it's probably not an issue. NOT SHOWN: I was also able to ad a sealed 28FR and lube to the first pocket on the left.  - Abdominal Bandage - 4.5"x4ft Z-fold - Gloves (x2) - Flat "duct tape" - 28FR Naso w/lube - SOF-T Wide - Leatherman Shears (not inc) - HALO (vent & seal) - Hazmat bag - Esmark bandage This model has enough over lap that it is very secure in the traditional above the boot position, but can easily be worn around a boot also. --- # Alternative Carry If you are not into an ankle rig, I did find this inexpensive belt pouch set that the larger pouch holds all of the same contents of the kits above. For $14.00 for the pair, they are a steal! They have a weather proof zipper, pull tabs on each end to help with zipping and seem well made.  - [Amazon Link](https://amzn.to/48MgFAO) |  |  | | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
