Learn how to refill your MyFAK kit with the right supplies. Compare MyFAK vs MyFAK Large sizes and get decision rules for restocking trauma kit supplies.
Quick answer
Restocking your MyFAK first aid kit means matching the right size and level of supplies to your expected use. For daily carry and moderate trauma coverage, the standard MyFAK Pro with 115+ items is sufficient. For extended trips or higher-risk environments, the MyFAK Large Pro with 200+ items offers the extra capacity and organization you need.
Understanding the MyFAK sizes
The MyFAK and MyFAK Large are designed to be refilled with the same core trauma supplies, but their capacity differs. The standard MyFAK holds over 115 life-saving items in a compact folding pouch, while the MyFAK Large holds over 200 items and includes a folding page design for better organization. If you already own a MyFAK, you can upgrade to the Large size by buying the larger kit rather than trying to squeeze more supplies into the smaller pouch.
What to consider when restocking
When restocking, think about the environment and duration of use. For a car kit or home kit, the standard MyFAK supplies are often enough. For a backpacking trip or a remote work site, the extra space in the MyFAK Large allows you to add more gauze, tape, and pressure dressings without overstuffing. Both kits come in Pro and Basic levels, so choose the level that matches your training and comfort with advanced trauma care.
Decision rules for restocking your MyFAK
- Assess your current kit size: If your MyFAK pouch is full and you still need more supplies, consider upgrading to the MyFAK Large rather than overstuffing. The large pouch gives you room for additional trauma dressings, splints, or medications.
- Choose the right level of supplies: Both MyFAK and MyFAK Large are available in Pro and Basic levels. The Pro level includes advanced items like chest seals and decompression needles. Choose Pro if you have trauma training; choose Basic for general first aid. Match the level to your training, not just your budget.
- Restock with original or compatible refills: For best fit and quality, use My Medic refill packs designed for the MyFAK. Generic trauma supplies may not fit the folding pages or pouches correctly. Check the product description for compatible refill packs.
