First aid kit for armor?

Post by Vb376 »

I was planning on making a "first aid kit" for my armor to take with on troops,
A small toolbox with white duct tape, crazy glue, Velcro, etc.... im sure everyone does this.. So I'm asking what you guys pack along with your armor?

I have both black and white industrial Velcro, a small pair of scissors (gotta cut that Velcro with something!), black electrical tape, a couple of rubber bands (you never know what they might be useful for), and spare batteries for my sound system.

Brian and Tom hit everything on the nose. I personally always keep in my tote a bottle or two of water. Water isn't always available right away and on a hot day of trooping it can by critical to have near by. Sometimes you need it for another trooper.

I also keep a small stapler and a few zip ties for those times when you need a very quick fix.

A hat or hair gel is also a plus for when you take the helmet off.
