Condor EMT pouches |
I ordered mine in Tan and wasn't surprised to find the quality I had come to expect. I have handled a lot of gear, from made-in-china dollar store special to Maxpedition. Condor sits somewhere in the high-middle range of that spectrum. Much like I had expected, it was decent kit at a reasonable price. I'm not sure how it would stand up in wartime conditions - and I don't ever expect to be able to speak on that point, I'll likely never know. I do know that these articles will stand up to anything I can throw at them.

Let's take a look at the rip-away EMT pouch. It's MOLLE compatible back webbing is velcro lined, along with the back end of the pouch itself. A pair of side closing buckles add to secure the pouch in place while being carried on a MOLLE equipped carrier. While on a vest or otherwise, the pouch on it's velcro carrier bounces around a little, but nothing that isn't manageable. Rarely noticeable, in fact.

The pouch rips off of the velcro carrier and can be held in the hand or by a nylon carry strap on top. I have used this pouch as a stand alone barrel rest, in a pinch, while sighting in a rifle. I'm positive that most cheap-o stuff couldn't stand up to that kind of abuse, without obvious signs of wear.
Another look at the space available - blurry... |
The pouch folds out into three distinct sections. One section meant for carrying tools, another for bandages and a mesh pouch for organizing your 'loose items'. Bandages can be held in by the use of elastic fabric - as well as some tool compartments.

- CRKT M16EDC - A fantastic little knife. As a matter of fact, the first one I ever bought outside of a utensil or 'swiss army knife'. Still sharp. It's been through the wash a few times with a little rust but nothing more. Still 100% workable and I keep it in there as a 'just in case'.
- Tool bag - vaccum sealed. Mini Maglite, EMT shears, tweezers.
- Bandages of various sizes.
- Dressings - everything from EMT pads to bandaids.
- Instant cold-pack.
- Insect bite oitment, alcohal pads, afterbite pads, sterilization pads.
- Marker, pad of paper, lighter.
- Medical tape.
- Paracord

Each have proven to be good kit to own and valuable items to use and maintain.

I've got a paramedic bag from the fire store online but It's a huge one so I can put all the things I need. But I am also looking for something similar to your bag. It's easy to carry.
