    Default FAK supplies

    Anyone know a good place to pick up inexpensive FAK supplies?

    Pound shops can be ok, but check shelf life date. St John supplies is good too.

    I use edsfat.org.uk - they are a group of scouts who sell loads of first aid kit. Cheap and reliable.

    I'm not related to them, just a happy customer.
