Kerry Davis (AKA “Pocket Doc”) from Dark Angel Medical was interviewed on The Survival Podcast today. Dark Angel Medical makes the awesome Direct Action Response Kit (D.A.R.K.), a slim and compact med kit that contains “everything you need and nothing you don’t.” I own one of these kits and they really are a fantastic investment.
In the photo above you can see my friends Rachell and Allen both using a D.A.R.K. at a recent carbine class. Notice how compact the kit is.
If you’re not familiar with The Survival Podcast, it’s a daily podcast by a guy named Jack Spirko, who does a great job with the show. TSP covers a wide range of topics from classic to modern survival, permaculture, current events, and much more. I started listening to TSP way back at like episode 10, when Jack was doing the show in his car commuting back and forth from his full-time job. The show has grown significantly since then, and if you don’t listen to TSP, you’re really missing out.
Check out Kerry’s interview here, it’s well worth your time.
Awesome interview, love TSP.
Outstanding show with the pocketdoc. Kerry also specifically mentions F3 Tactical in Chantilly Va as one of the best places to get his kit and I have to agree. Outstanding shop run by outstanding people.
We would suggest the High Speed Gear’s blow-out pouch for $28, then build your own for about 1/2 the cost.

we are not a distributor of HSGI products – we simply endorse their products as that is our first choice for first line gear. oh, HGSI and T.A.G.
In2Defense, Dude, if you are gonna gamble with your life on a $28 medkit put together with shit from China, then there isn’t much I can say to you other than “Darwinism at its finest”. If your interested in actually using legit products, then I would ask you how many .gov agencies do the “roll your own” med kits? Yeah, none, mainly because most are running DARK kits. Why you ask? Cause they are well thought out, & properly put together kit. The quick clot gauze is not the same as “combat gauze” that HSGI puts in theirs. You should get some medical training, seconds save lives when someone has sprung a leak, and honestly just the set up alone of the DARK saves those seconds. Doc could tell you a hellva lot more about the reasoning for the set up, but I promise you its not the “Med kit” you see people with zero medical training peddling that they have packaged with their walmart freeze dryer vacuum.
Like I said, you do what ya want, but my guess for your endorsement of HSGI and TAG would be you also think that Wolf ammo is a good choice for your high end Noveske……

In2, please provide the links to build your own kit for half the price. BTW, no ChiCom or knock offs. I wont hold my breath.
