Dixie EMS Dixigear Empty First Responder II Bag 10.5" x 5" x 8" - Red

This is a handle little bag. I'm a nurse and keep everything I need for my job in this bag. The only thing that might be missing is a shoulder strap. For me, that is not enough to take a star away. It is well made.

when I saw it! I was like omg this bag is so little.... but I started filling it up and it fit all the items it needed. its spacious, cute, good quality, it's light, and looks like will last a long time.

Nice little bag. We use it on our utv when off roading.

Yes it's all true what the others say but...If you throw away the black insert and replace it with a square Tupperware bottom it becomes useful and sturdy. Avoid heavy items - It's the same for packing a lunch bag.

Good to keep first aid supplies available on the job.

Can't beat the price.And if you are looking for a compact yet spacious bag to put in your vehicle's trunk, or to toss into your backpack for a hike, this is the one. It's a soft bag, so it will take the shape of whatever you put inside. It comes with a single stiff black insert/liner with a few small pockets and a velcro (hook & loop) divider to create partitions in the primary compartment.The insert/liner is fairly shallow, but does a good job of creating a firm foundation for loose supplies. You could replace this with your own insert if you felt it needed upgrading, or just not use it and have a normal bag -- but I like it for what it is.The two side pockets are practical for using as quick-access areas for bleeding/burn/urgent wound care, while using the primary compartment for a larger variety of items that might take a bit longer to find, since they'll be floating around in a larger area.Pros:* This bag is made from a fairly thick nylon fabric, and the seams are well joined. I do not worry about it falling apart.* The zippers work smoothly and are easy to pull.* The handles are perfect for grab & go situations.* Price. For ~$10 USD this is a no brainer. Honestly hard to believe it's so affordable, even for what it is. A decent bag.Cons:* Liner/insert is shallow and the shape could be better defined. The primary area with velcro divider is fine, but the pockets are too small to be very useful, they are more like little slots where you could put a bill of materials or some quick reference cards.* Velcro divider for insert does not attach very securely to the sides, but it does a reasonable job of separating larger items. I wouldn't expect it to keep smaller things from sliding around.This bag would even be great for the gym if you are packing light. You could probably carry a pair of light athletic clothes or a towel and some toiletries/personal care items for a quick shower, and clean up after a workout.In summary, I highly recommend this highly affordable bag. It's simple, not overcomplicated, and doesn't get in your way. Small enough to tuck away, but big enough to carry real supplies.

I was looking for a small bag to put various first responder items in and this has worked well for what I needed. The two side zipper pockets are handy as well.

Ordered this bag because as an EMT/FF who is also a county inspector for road/bridge projects, I wanted to put together a small kit of various bandages, tape, tourniquets, etc. to keep in my work truck, without constantly switching my large first aid kit from my personal truck all the time - and most of the pre-filled first aid kits "feature" items you never actually need in an emergency situation - or are completely useless (for example, a snake bite kit when the nearest venomous snake is 200+ miles away).The overall size of this bag is exactly what I wanted - has plenty of room for a half dozen pairs of nitrile gloves, some coban, ace wraps, various gauze pad/rolls, SAM splints, tourniquets, etc. without being so bulky as to take up extra space in my truck, which is already crowded with survey equipment and coats/jackets for various working conditions. The two outside pockets will work well for the frequently used/quick access items (gloves, shears).The inner liner/divider...is a joke. The liner is not attached to the bag in any way, shape, or form, and is too small for a snug fit - it is a good 1" shorter than the bag itself, so unless you always carry and store the bag flat, smaller items WILL end up underneath the liner. With the liner installed, there is a 1/4"-1/2" gap all the way around between it and the bag. Not ideal for a fully stocked kit riding in the truck. The divider not easy at all to get positioned -- I suspect it is meant to be attached with the velcro at the sides and bottom 'bent' to match the sides, but it's really too stiff for that, and the velcro has a VERY strong grip - great once you have it where you want it, but makes positioning difficult. My camera bag (with a similar divider type) has sewn in 'hinge' points to make installation of the divider easy. No such deal with this.I will have to see once I get the bag fully stocked with the items I want to carry - maybe the liner will have enough rigidity to work; if so, I will be able to keep some 6x6 pads under it and out of the way. If not, I will probably get some heavy cardboard or a thin sheet of plastic and glue the liner to it to form a hard bottom. Just realize that in the product picture, for as 'floppy' as the inner liner looks, it's not nearly that strong in real life.
