Most hiking kits stop at blisters and strains. The IFAK Hike does not. This is a trauma-capable personal first aid kit for one person — packed into a compact MOLLE-compatible stingray bag for bushwalkers heading into remote or higher-risk terrain where serious injuries happen and evacuation takes time.

Built and inspected by hand in Dubbo, NSW — by people who know what remote Australian terrain actually demands.

• Military trauma and haemorrhage control bandage, RAPIDSTOP packing gauze, and Slishman pressure wrap The Slishman is specifically designed for Australian snake bite pressure immobilisation and major wound compression — you will not find it in generic hiking kits. RAPIDSTOP packing gauze controls deep wound bleeding where direct pressure alone is not enough. Read our guide on how to build a hiking first aid kit to understand why these items matter in the Australian bush and what separates a trauma-capable kit from a standard one.
• Two snake bite bandages with indicator, sodium chloride eyewash ampoules, sterile combine dressing, triangular bandage, and thermal blanket Most Australian snake bites happen on the lower limbs — two full indicator bandages give you the length to wrap an adult limb completely. The thermal blanket manages shock. Together these items form a complete serious injury response in a pack that earns its weight on every trip.
• Trauma shears and compact MOLLE-compatible stingray bag The stingray format opens flat and gives you fast access to every item without pulling the whole kit apart — critical when you are working under pressure in the field. Clips to a pack, vest, or belt. Built for the conditions you actually hike in. Knowing where your kit is and how to open it under stress matters as much as what is inside it.
• Designed for one person — personal carry, personal responsibility This is an individual first aid kit, not a group kit. It carries what one person needs to respond to a serious injury in a remote environment and keep themselves or another person stable until evacuation arrives. For group hiking, each member should carry their own — or step up to the Remote Area Survival Kit for larger groups.
