Here's my first IFAK design. It's very low profile, doesn't stick out from your kit much at all, but packs a lot of med kit in layers and offset from each other so that you don't have to dig, everything is ready to go.

In a hunting scenario, the water is more important than the basic load of ammunition. When hunting in the mountains of New Mexico, I never carried more than 20 rounds during my day outings. Since weight was an issue, I felt that survival gear so that I could be away from base camp for a night was of upmost importance. Have you given consideration to replacing ammo pounches with larger pouches to carry matches, first aid, naptha, space blanket, etc?

The sleeve pockets played a big role in that for me and still do. I keep an MRE accessory pack, which has matches, TP, wet wipe, salt, sugar, and other items packaged in sealed plastic. I also have 2 lighters, pocket knife, multitool, aviator's signal panel, 550 cord, and my Woobie (Poncho Liner).
I don't carry a basic load when hunting, and fill the ammo pouches with candy bars/energy bars, radio, and sunglasses.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

We are on the same page. Before my first trip to New Mexico mountains, I read everything I could on mountain hunting and survival requirements. The first day out, I had a backpack, hatchet, Model 29 S&W with ammo, etc, etc. The next day the pistol was gone, the backpack was gone, and my sweatshirt was packed full of the necessities you list.

The first iterations of Quick Clot caused more harm in some cases, including to the person providing care, so make sure that if you are incorporating Quick Clot into your IFAK, it is the current 3rd Generation gauze, not the old versions. There are a few good trainers out there providing TCCC, so if you don't have medical training, I would look to them, preferably guys with 18D/SOCM/SFMS backgrounds.

Might I suggest adding a medic cross or some other type of designation on the outside of your medic pouch(es). I don't want to have to search through all your pouches if I'm trying to patch up your bullet hole."Those who sacrifice liberty for security, deserve neither." Benjamin Franklin
