Minor Incident Field Kit (MIFK)
Field-Ready Treatment for Non-Life-Threatening Injuries Bridges the gap between your IFAK and your basic boo-boo kit
There’s a category of injuries that doesn’t justify ripping open your trauma kit—but still needs to be handled fast. The Minor Incident Field Kit (MIFK) by Austere Medicine Consultants was built specifically for those situations. Designed with input from Special Forces medics, Ranger-qualified personnel, and experienced field professionals, this kit gives you the right tools for treating superficial wounds, abrasions, and discomfort that can derail momentum in the field.
Store in a cool, dry place. Do not exceed 140°F. In the event of a severe reaction or emergency, seek professional medical care immediately.
"A prudent person foresees danger ahead and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. - Proverbs 27:12"
Wound Coverage + Protection
Transparent film dressing, sterile gauze, and non-adherent pads support rapid wound management
Bandaging Options
Heavy-duty and waterproof bandages seal up scrapes, blisters, and abrasions
Securement Tools
36” silk medical tape provides strong adhesion for dressing retention
Debridement Support
Two sterile splinter-out lancets to address embedded debris or blisters
Compact, Sealed Format
Fits in gloveboxes, chest rigs, daypacks, or carry-ons for fast access
The MIFK is purpose-built to keep you serviceable without burning through trauma gear. It’s the middle ground: stronger than a basic first aid pouch, but leaner than a full IFAK. Whether you’re pushing through backcountry trails, working a detail, or on extended travel, the MIFK enables you to manage minor injuries, stay mobile, and delay escalation to higher levels of care until absolutely necessary
The numbers, flat and honest.

Answers, straight up.
Product-specific questions on the left. Shopping with SRO on the right. Both open-ended — hit us if we missed one.
How long does shipping take?
Most orders process within 1–3 business days from our warehouse. From there: 5–7 business days economy, 2–3 business days expedited, or overnight if you need it fast. Free economy shipping on orders over $150 (contiguous US). Alaska, Hawaii, and Pro Eagle / freight items are quoted at checkout. You’ll get a tracking number and link the moment your order ships.
What’s your return policy?
30 days from the day your order arrives. Gear has to come back unused, with all original tags, stickers, and packaging intact. For standard items we’ll send a prepaid return label and deduct return shipping from your refund. Oversized or freight returns are on you, unless the item showed up damaged, defective, or wrong — in which case we cover it.
Refunds hit your original payment method within 10 business days of approval.
What can’t I return?
Final-sale items, gift cards, food and drink products, personal-care items, anything customized or engraved, briefs (hygiene), and hazardous materials. If you’re not sure whether something qualifies, email us before you order — we’ll tell you straight.
Do you ship outside the contiguous US?
Yes. Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories ship on freight-quoted rates calculated after checkout. International orders are available worldwide at variable rates; duties and import fees are the customer’s responsibility. EU customers get a 14-day cancellation window per EU consumer law, on top of our standard return policy.
My package arrived damaged — what now?
Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com within 7 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos of the damage (product + packaging). We’ll replace, refund, or ship a return label on us — no back-and-forth. Damaged, defective, or wrong-item claims never cost you shipping.
Can I talk to a human before buying?
Yes. Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com — we answer every message ourselves, usually within a few hours during business days. We carry this gear, we use this gear, and we’d rather talk you out of a kit that doesn’t fit your mission than sell you the wrong one.
Do you offer a military/first-responder discount?
Yes. Active-duty and veteran military, police, fire, EMS, and medical first responders get 15% off every order. Verify through GovX at checkout — one-time, secure, and reusable across thousands of brands. Discount applies automatically once you’re verified.
